About AM 800 CKLW
AM 800 CKLW is Windsor's news and talk station. It broadcasts on 800 AM under the call sign CKLW and is owned by Bell Media. It calls itself Windsor's Information Station. CKLW is one of the most famous call signs in Canadian radio: in the late 1960s and 1970s, as "The Big 8", it was a powerhouse top 40 station heard across Detroit and much of the Great Lakes region, and it played an important role in the history of Motown and rock radio. On this page you can listen to AM 800 CKLW live online, free and without an app.
The Information Station
Today CKLW focuses on news and talk. Its newsroom covers Windsor, Essex County and Chatham-Kent, with local news, weather and traffic — including the Ambassador Bridge and the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel, two of the busiest border crossings in North America. Talk shows discuss local politics, the auto industry, health care and life in the region, with listeners calling in to share their views.
Sports
Sports is part of the schedule too, with discussion of the Windsor Spitfires of the OHL and the Detroit and Toronto teams that Windsor fans follow.
A border city station
Windsor sits directly across the river from Detroit, and CKLW's coverage reflects life in a border city, where many people work, shop and cross between two countries. The station's powerful AM signal still reaches far into southeastern Michigan and northern Ohio.
Listening from outside Canada
Bell Media's streams are mainly intended for listeners in North America, so the online stream should work for listeners on both sides of the border.
