Here'a an excerpt from Pat Bergin's (a.k.a. Scott Carpenter) blog:

'Summertime was our major promotional push since we targeted the teen audience, and they were out of school. We'd show up everywhere, running concerts at Nathan Phillips Square, hosting free shows at the CNE bandstand and promoting the huge CNE grandstand shows. If a major group was headed to Toronto, they were on CHUM and we were always on hand to share the stage with them at the CNE or Maple Leaf gardens... wherever! From The Guess Who to the Osmonds to The Jackson 5, Three Dog Night, Chicago, T Rex, The Bay City Rollers... anyone who was anyone in the music biz found their way onstage with a CHUM DJ. I recall on many occasions walking out at the CNE and hearing 20,000 people cheer. It was unreal, and a little unsettling to be standing there knowing that every one of those people listened to me every night. My wife recalls how she, her sister and everybody she knew in school would take their transistor radios to bed with them, put them under their pillows and listen to my show. I have never experienced that kind of recognition since.' http://patbergin.blogspot.com/
