Did You Know?

By this time, the station had once again begun to call itself "The Big 8" and had brought back some of the Johnny Mann jingles, but was merely a shell of its former self.The final death knell for the "Big 8" came in October 1984, when the station fired 79 staffers (including most of the remaining announcers and Rosalie Trombley), closed its American sales office in the Detroit suburb of Southfield, Michigan, and announced that it would soon change format to Al Ham's "Music of Your Life" format of pop standards and big-band music and go completely automated.

For the most part, though, CKLW-TV was overshadowed by its powerhouse sister radio station and mainly aired low-budget local shows along with Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) (and also CTV) network fare.When the Canadian government requested RKO General divest itself of its Canadian holdings in 1968, the stations were sold to a consortium of the CBC and Baton Broadcasting, which was finalized in 1970.

Davies, Knowles, Dave Shafer, Tom Clay, Tom Shannon, Larry Morrow (as "Duke Windsor"), Terry Knight, and Don Zee were among the "Radio Eight-Oh" personalities during this time, and helped raise the station's ratings to the point where it was beating longtime hit station WXYZ (1270) by the summer of 1966 (though WKNR "Keener 13" was still a solid number one).However it took Bill Drake's "Boss Radio" format and a roster of legendary personalities such as Shannon, Shafer, Gary "Morning Mouth" Burbank, "Brother" Bill Gable, Pat Holiday, Steve Hunter, "Super" Max Kinkel, Walt "Baby" Love, Charlie O'Brien, Scott Regen, Ted "The Bear" Richards, Mike Rivers, Duke Roberts, Charlie Van Dyke, Johnny Williams, and newsmen Randall Carlisle, Grant Hudson, Byron MacGregor (who had a three and a half million-selling #1 hit single with his recording of Gordon Sinclair's commentary "The Americans" in 1973) and Dick Smythe to raise the station — newly dubbed "The Big 8" — to number one in the ratings starting in April 1967.Before long, the station's top-of-the-hour ID, sung (as were all of its jingles) by the Johnny Mann Singers, was on everyone's lips: "C-K-L-W, The Motor Cit-eeeee".

Ratings with the standards format were also a dramatic improvement over the station's final years as a contemporary outlet, although the station now attracted a significantly older audience than the "baby boomers" who had grown up listening to the Big 8.

In 1934, when London Free Press's station CJGC pulled out of the agreement, the station's ownership became wholly-owned by Western Ontario Broadcasters.

In fact, as early as 1956, Bud Davies hosted a "bandstand"-style show on CKLW-TV called Top Ten Dance Party.
