UK ARTISTS BEAMED TO CKLW… NOV. 28, 1964
From the MCRFB news archives:
BRITISH ARTISTS BEAMED OVER TO U.S. VIA CKLW
LONDON — The Animals, the Bachelors, the Nashville Teens, the Isley Brothers and Paul Jones, lead singer of the Manfred Mann group, recently took part in a unique broadcast from London to 26 States and much of Canada via transatlantic cable telephone.
The program was the first from a series to be beamed by Britain’s leading “pirate” station Radio Caroline to CKLW, Detroit. The two stations are taking turns to phone a 30-minute show from each other’s country every week.
The British part is phoned from Caroline House in London and used in disc jockey Terry Knight’s CKLW four-hour radio show. Knight interviews all the artists in the British studio and later plays each artist’s their respective records. CKLW returns the same kind of material for similar use here. END.

CKLW AND TOM CLAY SPLIT . . . JULY 11, 1964
From the MCRFB NEWS archive: 1964
Clay, CKLW Split ‘Amiable’
DETROIT — The departure of featured deejay Tom Clay from CKLW last week was as an “amiable termination” based on Clay’s decision to quit because he was not able to spin his own records, and was not based on any difference of programming, as reported elsewhere.
Clay felt he was not doing enough on his show when not allowed to play the records himself, but John Gordon, CKLW’s program director, told Billboard that present contracts with both the engineers and AFTRA prohibit this practice at the station.
Last week the Tom Clay show was replaced by the Terry Knight show, Monday through Friday, 7 to 11 p.m. and 1 to 6 p.m. on Sundays. Knight comes from WTRX, Flint, where he had a similar show and was formerly a deejay on WJBK. END
