Oh, a short story: Years ago the Detroit Tigers were taking the world Serious, or playing in the world series or something like that.
We were in the TV room at the campground watching and the sound on the TV sucked, I mean it was bad, I am talking about a blown transistor so it shounded.. Terrible....
Finally I said "I'll fix that" and headed back to my Rig, Got my "Boom Box" am/Fm/Cassette box and brought it back, WJR am 760 and Ernie Harwell
Turned the sound on the TV off
Every person in the room, from that day till they fired Ernie, that's how they listened and watched the games from that day forward.
At that time WJR was the only station in the US and Canada to occupy 760KHZ You could pick them up (Or to be more precise I picked them up) as I was leaving Florida on my vintage car radio.. CBS RADIO MYSTERY THEATER. alas, show is history now.
