Robin Seymour (DJ)
Robin Henry Seymour (born March 8, 1926 in Detroit, Michigan) is a former CKLW Radio Personality and Television Music Show and Host of "Teen Town (TV series)" and "Swingin' Time" in Detroit. Starting with a career in radio as a child actor on the Lone Ranger show and later as one of the country's top ten disc jockeys for a number of years, Robin's career spanned everything from the big band era to Motown to the British invasion to the psychedelic era.
The early years
After a stint with the Armed Forces Radio Network during World War II, in 1947 Robin began an 18-year career with WKMH-AM 1310, a typical suburban full-service radio station with facilities in Dearborn, Michigan. In those days, WKMH specialized mainly in middle-of-the-road pop music along with the usual hourly smattering of local news, information, and sports reports. The station was in its early years and Seymour quickly became its most popular on-air personality. His warm, confident demeanor combined with his disc jockey style appealed to audiences of all ages -- and ethnicities -- in the Detroit area, encompassing Windsor, Ontario, Canada and the surrounding vicinities.
