CKLW AM 800: A 1980s DAYTIME PATTERN COVERAGE MAP

THE CKLW-AM 800 KILOCYCLES TRANSMITTER COVERAGE

_______________

When this CKLW daytime coverage pattern card was published in the early-1980s, CKLW was picked up clearly as far off as Toledo and Cleveland (where it was consistently a highly rated station during its Top 40 days), Lansing, Michigan, and even the outskirts of Cincinnati, Ohio.

It has been reported the CKLW night-time reception was picked up (E.; S.; S. mid W.) as far off as Toronto/Oshawa, Ontario; Hartford, Connecticut; Pennsylvania; New York City; Little Rock; Des Moines, Iowa; and San Antonio, Texas.

By the late 1960s, it was reported that CKLW could be heard in at least 23 states and 4 Canadian provinces.

During CKLW’s Top 40 heyday, because of its nighttime directional pattern, the station was frequently heard in Scandinavia, but was often rendered unlistenable just a few hundred miles to the west and south of Detroit because of interference from the Juarez and/or Bonaire stations.

At one time, before end of 1970, with its massive 50,000 watts of transmitted power, the Windsor, Ontario 800 AM station was the third most listened to Top 40 radio station in all of North America. Behind WLS in Chicago and WABC in New York City.

It became Music Business by early 1964, assuming a new name. The weekly journal terminated publication immediately after the June 5, 1965 issue was published.
