I'm sure this has been mentioned.

BIMD you had to sit around and watch muchmusic for hours hoping the video you wanted to see would be played. I'd often have the VCR ready so I could tape it and watch it over and over.

BIMD muchmusic played music videos. MOD played actual far out requests, not just the countdown over and over.

BIMD when your favorite song came on CJ or Rock 107 you had to scramble to get to the tape deck and hit record because I'd have the tape perfectly positioned at the end of the last song that I scrambled to record. Inevitably I'd actually have it in the wrong place and cut off half the previous song, or I'd forget to stop it after and I'd tape like an hour of the radio after the song I wanted.

BIMD FFW on a tape player to find your favorite song was like an art. You knew that from song 1 to song 5 was exactly 18 seconds.
