It will take some time to get through all of this, but this show might cover the demise of the Top 40 era on AM 1270, along with the WXYZ-FM phases over at 101 FM. If you can find old copies of the Free Press and the Detroit News online, it might also be mentioned there.

Worth discussing over on a Tech forum, not here, is the story down in the corner (would like to see the full article) about Magnetic Video's Variable Speech Control "Copycorder" device. Mag Video later become CBS/Fox Video, a large scale VHS format movie duplicator/distributor.
