CBET also carried some special programming aimed at American viewers, such as the annual Weekend With

This move, done through General Tire's broadcasting subsidiary General Teleradio, made the CKLW stations perhaps the only stations in Canada to be owned by an American company.

In addition, WKMH was briefly Detroit's CBS Radio network affiliate in 1960, after WJR dropped its ties to CBS to add more local programming.

As Windsor is part of the Detroit market, CBET is required to preempt American shows on the CBC network schedule of which exclusive rights are claimed by American stations in the market. Most American programming that was part of the CBC schedule throughout Canada (except for children's programs that met E/I regulations ) could not be broadcast by CBET and, thus,

Due to the show's connection to Detroit's popular rock-and-roll AM radio stations, Swingin' Time was used by many artists, especially local acts such as The Supremes , Martha Reeves and the Vandellas , the MC5 , and Mitch Ryder , to reach a substantially larger teen audience than they could have achieved through solely working the record hop circuit.

Prior to July 31, 2012, CBET was the only CBC-owned station not to have any repeaters; transmitters in Sarnia and Chatham instead relayed CBLN-TV , which was CBC's London -based Southwestern Ontario repeater network, rebroadcasting Toronto's CBLT, but with variations in advertising and some programming. CBET is carried on cable providers in Metro Detroit and much of Southeast Michigan, as far away as Flint and East Lansing . In Northwest Ohio, CBET
4544-450: Was announced that the CBC would be selling its Riverside Drive studio complex to Clayland Developments Ltd. of London, Ontario for $ 1,425,000. The CBC will continue its operations at the complex, leasing 13,000 square feet of the 32,000 square-foot complex from Clayland on a ten-year lease. While employees would relocate out of areas not leased by the CBC, the transition is not expected to be noticed by viewers and listeners. The 1954 building
4615-464: Was growing. The Windsor market, however, was already being served by the Detroit stations across the border. That same year, Western Ontario Broadcasting Company, Ltd., parent company of CKLW radio ( 800 AM and 93.9 FM, now CIDR-FM ), applied for a television license for Windsor. The city's Chamber of Commerce approved the deal, feeling that the market was lacking in a television station that was distinctly Canadian in nature. The station first signed on
4686-605: Was not only in the spotlight in the CBC, but was also of interest to many other broadcasters and union leaders across the country. Two local half-hour news programs were produced when CBET presented the Windsor Evening News , anchored by Carole MacNeil , at 5:30 p.m. and the Windsor Late News at 11 p.m. (CBET would continue to show the Toronto-based CBC Evening News at 6 p.m.) In the mid-1990s,
4757-457: Was now fully integrated with RKO General's American broadcast interests, located in New York City , Memphis , San Francisco , Los Angeles , Boston , Washington, D.C. , and Hartford, Connecticut , among other cities. CKLW-TV transmitted its programming in black and white until 1968 when it upgraded its transmitter and began broadcasting in colour . Under RKO's ownership, CKLW-TV aired only
4828-549: Was operated out of TSJ's facilities in Columbus, Ohio , while WDTW completed the build-out of its studio in Taylor, Michigan , and hired full-time staff members. TSJ's owner Josh Guttman stated that he also planned for WDTW to pursue Spanish-language broadcast rights to local professional sports teams, as TSJ had successfully done in Ohio. On July 21, 2017, WDTW activated a low-powered FM translator on 107.9 MHz in Detroit, W300DI. That year,
4899-497: Was replaced by other programming. As of the 2011–12 season, these programs were Wheel of Fortune (which aired on the national CBC schedule at 4:30 p.m.) and Jeopardy! (7:30 p.m.). These preemptions are due to Detroit rightsholder WDIV-TV (channel 4), which airs both programs during the 7 p.m. hour. This ended at the start of the 2012-13 season, as the CBC decided not to renew its rights to Wheel and Jeopardy! when its contract to run both shows expired, and replaced
4970-444: Was room for a fourth Top 40 station in Detroit and that 1310 AM could easily climb ahead of the competition. With WKMH owner Nellie Knorr, he developed the formula that ultimately became a success. Joseph instituted a shorter playlist of only 31 records plus one "key song" of the week and a liberal sprinkling of oldies. Most Top 40 stations of that era played many more current records. WJBK, WXYZ and CKLW all had very long playlists at
5041-637: Was the first CBC station (and, prior to 2009, maybe the only station) to produce a 90-minute local, national and international newscast during the supper hour. During the 1972 football season, CKLW-TV aired the weekly Alex Karras Football Show , hosted by former Detroit Lion Alex Karras . The Baton/CBC partnership in CKLW-TV ended in May 1975 when, per the original 1970 arrangement, the CBC purchased Baton's 75 percent ownership stake in St. Clair River Broadcasting. Channel 9 became
