The Top 40 wars in London, Ont., heated up in the early '70s, with CJOE going after the well-established CHLO for hit music ears in the Forest City.
CJOE, a Beautiful Music outlet since signing on in 1965, dipped its toe into Top 40 in 1970 by playing rock in the evenings with an emphasis on "underground" or album music. CHLO countered by playing more album cuts, then CJOE fought back by going rock full-time and mixing album cuts with Top 40 tunes. This aircheck of Rick Janssen from the fall of 1971 gives you an good idea of what CHLO was doing to counter the CJOE threat at the time.
