Motor City Music: Keener 13 and the Soundtrack of Detroit - Paperback

by Scott Westerman (Author)

Back before there were iPods and smartphones, before the consolidation that homogenized and depersonalized radio, broadcasting was about intimate relationships between the announcers and their listeners. The DJs kept us company, answered our phone calls and dispensed advice and wisdom along with the music that became the soundtrack of our lives.Every market had it's unique broadcast identity. Stations fought for market share. The music was carefully selected to reflect the brand. And air talent was at the center of it all.Within the pages of Motor City Music, we learn the Keener story along with every WKNR Music Guide ever published and key headlines from every year that WKNR was on the air. For those who grew up in the 60s, it's a time capsule of memories, from an era when every season was Keener season.
