When I was growing up in Oakville, I used to frequent Lofquist's record store where one could collect the weekly CHUM/CKOC/CKFH/CJJD or was it CHAM charts. It was run by two little old ladies [old to a teenager. They had white hair] The store was located in the basement of a building where they had this old record player with a great set of speakers. They would gladly play the latest debuts to the CHUM Chart. I was amazed at their incredible knowledge of all the current recording artists. I later learned their secret. The store had a subscription to Billboard and these ladies would read the weekly reviews of all the single and album releases. This is where I discovered the Hot 100. I always remember seeing a full page ad in the magazine promoting AT40 shortly after its debut. Sadly, I was disappointed to learn that no Canadian or Western New York radio stations carried the show. Eventually 98.5, or 102.5 ran AT40 at 6AM Sunday mornings and CKOC did so Sunday evenings at 6PM. I was not happy when AT40 abandoned the Hot 100 for their countdown, presumably because there was too many rap records entering the top 40.
