Throwback Thursday – All Hit Music Me

When I was a kid, it was the height of cool to drop by a record store and pick up the CKOC street sheet to see that week’s top 40 songs. CKOC was Hamilton’s all-hit radio. If you were in Toronto, it was CFTR. Any top 40 radio station worth its 45s was putting out a little top 40 chart every week.

So, it was an absolute thrill to appear on a few of them during my time on the air at CKSL, London’s version of ‘OC and ‘TR. I believe this one with Paul Young and contest winners was my first.

CKSL Street Sheet containing the hit songs of the week featuring me, Paul Young and two contest winners on the cover. I look svelte!

Side note: I thought I was morbidly obese at the time. Seriously. But I digress.

I recall also making the cover with Corey Hart and some of my colleagues, and once on my own when I had super-short hair, to promote my Saturday night show. Radio stations spent a lot of money on promotion back then. Things were different! And I’m so glad I got to be a part of it.

  1. Lisa. I tell the story of winning a prize from CKSL 141. Waiting to see Rich Greven outside the Wellington Studio, Listeners were fans of the Jocks…A fan of Radio, remotes were always a pleasure to see the face behind the microphone. I remember seeing Gowan in Victoria Park and SL was the station. I work with Rockin Ray Michaels on The NEW D-Moos.com(formerly CKOC)..Country Gold Show on Sunday 8-9pm…LIVE Radio the way it used to be…Rob
