Signs of the Times---Don't touch that dial

This is the old CKUA Building on Jasper Avenue. This is just a great old sign which has not faded to badly over the years. The station is moving into a new building a few block east of here soon. This station is a great one in that it plays a great variety of styles of music

[Maggiemae]

What,does CKUA stand for? Great to know it is still broadcasting!

[Pam Hawkes]

It's interesting to see these old signs and to know that the business is still running!

[Kerri]

Cool catch

It does look like that sign has been there for a long time but holding up well. Great capture.

[KAL]

Great sign and buildings with good history!

Nice, Brian. I'm enjoying your shots of the old ads. It's opened my eyes to the ads in my community & will probably get some posted here on the 365.

Love the old sign. CKLW the Great 8 was the most popular radio station in the Detroit Metro/Windsor area where I grew up.

[KWind]

I like the faded look of the sign.

[Graham Thresher]

The weathered look to the sign adds to almost a retro feel.

Love the Papa PIzza sign under it too.

glad the station still goes on-air. i, too, love old signs like this. but that is when the buildings are built far apart and people are able to see the ads from far away. nice shot, brian.
