From Muzik's December 1996 issue That's How It Is was advertised only as being on Mondays at Bar Rumba rather than with a specific date. It is possible that during this period That's How It Is may not have always been on. This affects all dates after 7 October 1996. Note: Muzik changed to this format for their November 1996 issue, and then from August 1997 they only listed the Top 50 Nights Out so That's How It Is doesn't always get mentioned.
