What were the favorite radio stations and personalities you remember listening to? Having grown up in the Detroit area from the mid 60's to the late 70's, my vote goes to:
CKLW (the Big 8) with Gary Burbank, Johnny Williams, Pat Holiday, Teddy "the Bear" Richards and Super Max Kinkle.
WKNR Keener 13, with Scotty Reagon, Dick Purtain, Bob Greene and J. Michael Wilson and Rodney the Rodent.
WJR (the Great Voice of the Great Lakes) of course, J.P. McCarthy and Tiger Baseball with Ernie Harwell.

WOWO in Ft Wayne, Indiana. I can remember being in Spain, playing with the 2 way radio in the cockpit if a B-47 bomber, and tuning in that station.

If I could hijack the thread just a little bit, what about stations that come in clear in TV? It's pretty easy to find music stations, but are there any good talk stations that come in clear here?

Back as an early teen in Minneapolis, it was WDGY.
Driving to work in Washington DC, it was Johnny Holiday or Harden and Weaver all depending who was driving the car pool.
