KOKZ is likely to carry all four hours of 11/11/78 this Saturday (11/2). KOKZ is going with 11/11/78, but it is posted as if it is a 3-hr show. 4-hr shows usually start at 8AM central. I'm sure it will be changed.
WMGN is going with 10/30/71 this weekend.

That means no 1979 show from 11/24 or 12/1. Wondering if 11/17 might get played, which last aired in 2012. Methinks that they might have trouble remastering both shows. I can't think of any other logical explanation of those shows being avoided like the plague. I only spot checked my remastered versions of those shows, but I didn't hear anything outrageous that would stop them airing.

I only spot checked my remastered versions of those shows, but I didn't hear anything outrageous that would stop them airing. It’s a bit soon, but a guess is that 1979 may be the year-end show. That, or — given “My Sharona” is also on that show — we’ll hear the “Top 50 Hits Of the 1970s” special. Brian

I remember the 12/1 show had at least one production error in it, but that should be an easy fix. What was it?

Just thought of another theory about them avoiding the two 1979 shows. Some radio stations might not like to play many shows from that year, especially in the late part of the year. That could be why it always comes with a "B" show. In November and December, stations don't have a choice of two regular shows - however, there are stations that don't start playing holiday music until later in December. The two 1979 shows fall in that "awkward" spot, so that could be why Premiere hasn't chosen those shows yet.
One possible solution would be to offer the December, 1979 show after the New Year. Yes, that would be far removed from its original broadcast date, but because of what I mentioned above, that would be a reason for such an exception. As for the November show, that one could be pulled a few weeks back and played as part of the last twofer weekend of the year.

Segments 4 and 10 both had the outro jingle at the beginning, followed by the intro jingle...so if you're listening to the original show, you'll hear the outro jingle twice in those two spots. (That's the beginning of sides 1B and 2B on the original LPs.) But it's a super easy fix with an audio editor, which I have. I just never fixed my copy. The copy of the show itself outside of that, sounds decent, to me anyway. Not sure what the reasoning is for not airing those two shows. I'm sure there's one that makes sense behind the scenes.

1971 optional extras in 2014 were: "Oh My Love" John Lennon (originally from show) "96 Tears" ? & The Mysterians (originally from show) "Your Move" Yes (#66) For 10/30/71, I'll go with: "Got To Be There" (#89; debuted) "96 Tears" (#1, this week in 1966) "Family Affair" (NR) I hope "Your Move" stays. One of the best-known #40 singles of the decade. I'm with you. Thank God they left it in. There is a station at work that I listen to in Omaha called CD105.9 which is basically an album rock station that plays "Your Move/"I've Seen All Good People" quite often.

If the long, long 1979 'A' drought ends 11/17, that means 80s has to be a 1983 (11/12/83 last played 2012 or 11/19/83 last 2009) stand alone based upon Peteski's earlier post? And lasvegaskid rolls a pair of dice (by the dashboard light) and walks away a winner -- 11/17/79 and 11/12/83 soon to be on-deck.

I'm guessing the rationale is that, with the Elton hit, it's in the title, and also he's referring to himself (as opposed to denigrating someone else). Even famously conservative WABC, which had banned "My Ding-a-Ling" 2 years before, and which would even have problems with "Kiss You All Over" (!) in 1978, left Elton's B's alone (but they did delete the line about sniffing glue). How about that other Mike Chapman-produced one-hit wonder from fall '78, Nick Gilder and "Hot Child in the City"? Was WABC okay with that one? Yeah, they were. And with sexier '70s hits like "Pillow Talk" and "Love To Love You Baby", so go figure. But the Exile hit was banned for many weeks -- they finally added it after it had reached #1 nationally (but didn't play it in morning drive). Around that same time they half-banned "In the Bush" (only played it evenings and overnites). In '73 they banned "Cover of the Rolling Stone" for the drug references (tho' oddly they did play "One Toke Over the Line"!).

Odd that they banned cover of the rolling stone for drug references ,Here in the UK it was banned on the BBC due to it mentioning "rolling Stone" - the BBC were strict on anything that was a product due to thier non advertising rules (we never got to hear paul simon's Kodachrome either )

Right - other than that, no 1979 shows were ran during the time period in November/December when they offered only one regular show. Who knows - perhaps both shows will remain untouched.

That same year they also edited the 'dam*' out of Chicago's "Just You 'N' Me". And yet I seem to recall them playing the 'sexy' Sylvia and Barry White hits that summer.
