Over the years KQV's weekly survey came in many forms. "Daddy" Dave Scott counted down the Tune-dex each week. The Finest Fifty became the Finest Forty and then later on it became the Hit Parade.  Listing 50 songs, later 40, 35 then finally 30, it always was the countdown of Pittsburgh's biggest hits. The front side always listed the hits and for a long time showed us pictures of the Fun Lovin' Five or the KQV-IP's,  while the rear often pointed the way to some of the hottest contests, promotions and fun things to do in Pittsburgh.
