Why as a teenager in the 60's would I like to listen to their news versus another station? Because I didn't want to miss the music starting again. Plus they were so entertaining and gave money away for news tips. The greatest radio station in the US and has never been duplicated and never will.

I am in my 50's now and vividly recall the Big 8. I grew in Erie, Pa and could easily pick up CKLW unless there was bad weather over Lake Erie. I think we all like to hear oldies music but the formats and the jocks also made the station. It is too bad we dont have newsman like this anymore. Thanks to all at the Big 8CKLW. They changed radio broadcasting for the better. I wish the same concept could come back.

I'm 51 years old now, and to this day, I have yet to find a news cast that I enjoy! The Big 8 News was the best, and in my teens I listened to the news, becuase of the way it was presented! By those that meant what they said, and said what they meant! What happen to America! God help us all!

This brings back some fantastic memories for me in Windsor in the mid-60's and early 70's - all these guys were legends and when you heard the news coming on, you wouldn't even think of changing the station. No radio station today comes close. Hey, Grant Hudson - still getting your lunch all over your tie???
