[BC] Detroit 1500

[Steve Newman]

I worked for WJBK (the calls at the time) in 1969. It had 12 Towers. 50Kw 
day (9 towers) 5Kw night (12 towers). I lived on the East side of Detroit 
(Indian Village) and couldn't hear the station. We had heterodyne in the 
monitor. The towers were in Lincoln Park and the studios were behind the 
Fisher building on 2nd Ave and Philadelphia.
