 If memory serves, CKLW was about the second most popular station
 in the Cleveland market. ( and for good reason )

 I remember making a drive to Windsor to see what the AM stereo
 fuss was all about.
 At that time, there were no receivers available, but there was
 a Harris receiver tuned to that Harris rig in glorious AM stereo.

 I'm not sure Ed was there at the time, but that CKLW was a
 legend for many, many years is a fact which can't be disputed.
