#Former Pick Hit

NOTE: The date that appeared on the original chart as printed in GO Magazine 
was Sept. 24, 1968, a Tuesday. However, this chart debuted on the air on 
Wednesday, Sept. 25, so the date that appears above reflects when the chart 
actually took effect. Beginning with this chart, WMCA dropped its long-time 
features, the Sure Shot and Long Shot, in favor of a single Pick Hit. Former 
Sure Shots are designated as former Pick Hits.
