Keener 13 - WKNR Detroit - 5/12/67 - Scotty Reagan

Scoped aircheck of WKNR from 1967.

I lived there then. This is what we listened to. GOD! This is a such a time trip. I've lived in the East Coast for years. They don't know how radical the culture was in the "fly over"states. And they don't have a clue now.

[@juliahash5038]

I lived there in the mid 70's and Scotty was working for WDRQ at that time. ❤

WKNR Keener 13 remains the absolute standard of excellence in radio. None better. Ever.

[@doninmichigan]

I listened to CKLW too but Keener 13 was my favorite.

[@virgorising7388]

I can still sing the jingle. Simple, but it stuck.

[@tonymarzocco8962]

Scott grew up in Brooklyn NY with the late WLNG General Manager/deejay icon Paul Sidney. They said friends till Paul's passing.

I remember listening to WKNR.. I actually got a request played on the air there live.. Ivalso remember Scot Regan being very associated with something called ALSAP.. they would have people going door to door collecting money, something like March of Dimes.. then they would have a big local concert where the people that went door to door could attend free.. that Scott hosted.. the concert starred local bands (of which there were many) like Bob Seger and Ted Nugent during that time.. it was a great time to live in Detroit.. I eventually switched to CKLW tho because they played less commercials

[@Playbyplaymedia]

ALSAC stood for "Aiding Leukemia Stricken American Children". A "WKNR Thank You Concert" held in October, 1966 at Cobo Arena included ? & the Mysterians, The Capreez, The Left Banke, Jimmy Ruffin, Terry Knight & the Pack, The Rationals, Richard & the Young Lions, Ronnie & Robyn, Bob Seger & the Last Heard, The Shadows of Knight, Del Shannon, The Temptations and The Vogues.

W K🎵🎶NR 13 BETTER THAN CKLW BIG 8⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐COOL / FAB AIRCHECK

[@sandraculter869]

Born in Detroit, grew up mainly in Dearborn Heights. Loved both Keener 13 and CKLW. What a blast from the past!

[@Sentimentalgal05]

Absolutely can't forget "The Big 8 CKLW" AM dial rocking with WKNR Keener 1300 AM 😎 Do you remember🐺 Wolfman Jack? On Friday & Saturday nights, I would sit in my dad's car, tuning the AM dial listen for Wolfman Jack live on the radio📻 Here's how we could hear him all over USA 🇺🇸 His nationwide notoriety began at XERF-AM in Mexico where the radio stations were not governed as strictly as they were in the United States. That station had a signal that was so strong it could be heard across most of the US. It was said that a car driving from New York to California would never lose the broadcast.

[@doninmichigan]

Grew up in Westland and my transistor radio was always going back and forth between those two stations! We were lucky to grow up in those best of times!

[@webbnolen]

Hell of an "air check." This was "real" radio.

Grew up in east Detroit, in Vietnam at the time of this broadcast .to all who served , welcome home.

[@WattisWatts]

Had to get the Keener 13 chart flyer every week at Hudson's Eastland.

[@michaelfischer841]

1967 was such an amazing year in music

[@wtxrailfan]

I remember at 14:46 "Wonderland Center." That was a big shopping center in Livonia back before malls became big.

[@doninmichigan]

Mom and dad would take us there all the time, dad called it 'Monkey Ward's'. 😊

[@gli7utubeo]

LOL, at 0:22, needing money to replace a picture tube.

[@jvinson8865]

Scotty gives the date as being Friday, May 12, 1967 at the 12:15 mark... Great aircheck! thanx for sharing!

[@richmarino3265]

Thanks.

[@bruceross5546]

At the 20:16 mark-- local band The Shy Guys singing "Scott Regan Show" to the tune of their recent local hit, "We Gotta Go." 😊🎵👍✌️

[@JeffreyGSmith]

Keener 13 has a terrific Facebook group with new posts daily. I love it.

[@doninmichigan]

Really? I'll have to check it out, Keener 13 was my favorite station

[@bethshiplett7066]

And I thought today's radio broadcasts had a lot of commercials... I guess that's the fault of memory, the past is always "better".

[@williamclymer1602]

Was in Vietnam that year , from Detroit metro area . 13:59

[@MiamiMike88]

Scotty was fired from WKNR one day because he did not have the 'CKLW-sound' whom they competed against and hired the very next day at the Big-8 CKLW.

[@bobgreen8360]

NOT the reason.

[@jtodt23]

my old days. how times have changed. btw, it's Regan

[@emilyserafamanschot800]

He was one of my favorite DJs. I believe the last name is spelled Regen.

[@marty3888]

Not bad but why couldn't you include the full songs like the CKLW airchecks?

[@richmarino3265]

I didn't edit it. It was originally that way. But even if it was unscoped, KZbin ends up blocking the music anyway.

[@juliahash5038]

HEY SCOTTY REGAN( Robert Berstein) how are you? I haven't seen you since Philadelphia, PA. And haven't talked to you since near Tulsa, Ok. You still sound so good. Are you married now? Well I'm not! lololol! 🙂💕🙏❤

[@FOJO27]

Grew up near Windsor, Ontario and listened to US radio. This really takes me back!

[@juliahash5038]

I lived in Detroit, MI. twice for a year each time!
