With the loopholes, many tunes on Detroit based labels (Westbound, Sussex etc) were either recorded or mixed down at studios in Windsor. This gave the song a "P" for Can-Con, and it counted.
Once these songs no longer counted as Can-Con, CKLW took on a very vanilla sound like CHUM in Toronto and the glory days for The Big 8 were on the decline.
