 CHOM had a fairly big impact on the music that became popular in not just the Montreal area, but sometimes even North America. The playlists in the 70s & 80s were often more avant-garde than those in the rest of Canada. Bands from Europe (especially the UK) & the rest of the world often got a toe-hold in NA because of air-play on CHOM. I could give examples but I'd have to double-check my memory banks. I was a humble listener back then but surely this history has been documented somewhere?
