About CKLW AM 800

CKLW AM 800, broadcasting from Canada on 800 AM, is based in Windsor, Ontario. Launched on June 2, 1932, as CKOK by George Storer, it became CKLW in 1933 after a merger with Western Ontario Broadcasting. The station gained fame in the 1960s and 1970s as “The Big 8,” a Top 40 powerhouse, before shifting to a news/talk format in 1993 under CHUM Limited. Owned by Bell Media, it operates from 1640 Ouellette Avenue, with a 50,000-watt signal reaching Southwestern Ontario and Metro Detroit.

The station’s programming includes engaging talk shows like The Morning Drive with Mike and Meg, The Dan MacDonald Show, and The Shift With Patty Handysides, focusing on local and national news, sports, and community issues. CKLW features syndicated programs like Coast to Coast AM with George Noory and hourly Canadian Press updates, alongside local sports coverage, including Windsor Spitfires games. It serves as a key source of information for listeners seeking regional updates and lively discussions.
