Old Radio Station. CKOW (closing, foods, rated)

[marc3565]

I found an old song for a friend on youtube and at the beginning it plays a radio spot mentioning the station is CKOW . the C indicates to me it's canadian. I tried looking for info on it and can't find any so I'm assuming it's an old call sign. Anyone familiar with it?

Sorry for my delay in responding. I also sent you a private message.

I'm pretty sure you mean CKLW in Windsor, Ontario, AM-800. It has a powerful 50,000 watt signal that reaches, at night, most of Eastern North America. I remember it in the 1960s as a rock and pop-music station. But according to CKLW's website, it now has a talk-radio format.
