As of this typing it is now at 15. WNIC will flip sometime this week. They made a contest of it. WRVF plays Xmas music on the November weekends. WHNN has not posted next weekends AT40 the 70s cue sheet.
Thus, no more Classic AT40 until New Years 2011 on those stations.

Locally, I never have to worry about losing AT40: The 80s, as WIDL is a Hot AC station, and WCRZ never does a full flip unless it's like only a few days before or the day of. In this interim time, they'll integrate Christmas music in but still play some regular music, and the Saturday night time slot for AT40 remains untouched - to date, I have never missed a show there due to Christmas music. Having said that, however, since Christmas Day is a Saturday this year, I wonder if things will be different for that weekend only. As of this typing it is now at 15. WNIC will flip sometime this week. They made a contest of it. WRVF plays Xmas music on the November weekends. WHNN has not posted next weekends AT40 the 70s cue sheet. Thus, no more Classic AT40 until New Years 2011 on those stations. WHNN typically does not post a cue sheet until at least Wednesday on any given week; I wouldn't be concerned unless it gets to be like Friday and there's still no sheet. That said, they don't strike me as a station that would flip this early in the game. Pity that WRVF flips so early, just because they do things a little differently, but from a purist sense, it's no big loss. The total number of stations playing Christmas music is now at 9; fortunately, none of them are AT40 stations yet. I have to wonder if any of these are secretly AT40 stations that we just didn't know about before. I'll check it out.

I e-mailed the program director of WBBG the other day; his response said they'll start the Christmas music the day before Thanksgiving, so three more weekends of AT40 for them before the switchover.

I've been in touch w/ music director of WRVF & he has told me they will not be changing over to Christmas music until closer to Thanksgiving.

No more 80's AT 40 shows from KKLI in Colorodo Springs for the next two months. They are now all Christmas music.

That's good news, since I've been having problems getting live stream that uses Real Player on my computer. I may have to update. As far as I know, WRVF's stream works on my computer.

WRVF is playing AT40 the 80s tonight. This is the first time in years, they did not switch to all Xmas on the first full weekend in November. WHNN has confirmed they will air the Nov 1979 AT40 show tomorrow. Even more surprising WNIC has not flipped to all Xmas. They may actually air one more AT40 the 80s Sunday night.

WNIC - 100.3 in Detroit is now Christmas, so I am sure AT40 -80 s is gone until late Dec/January. Dang, no local AT40 for me.

This is the latest WNIC flipped to Xmas. Usually they flip on 11/1.
WRVF 101.5 FM in Toledo is still playing 80s music. I'm assuming AT40 the 80s will air this Saturday night. WHNN will air AT40 the 70s this Sunday morning, as confirmed on their website.
Thankfully WQSR Jack FM in Baltimore streams AT40 the 80s Sunday nights. This will be the alternate in place of WNIC for the next 7 weekends.

Looks like we're outta luck here in Seattle. KJR-FM has usually stayed Classic Hits throughout the year but this afternoon they switched to all Christmas. I'm bummed.

Magic 96 FM, WMJJ- Birmingham has officially gone all Christmas this morning. Typically they start back with regular programming after midnight on Christmas night. So hopefully they'll be back online for the AT40 year end shows.

Wonder if any of these affiliates will carry the AT10 Christmas show reruns, which are again being made available this year, starting this weekend. Believe they are the same shows as last year.

WLIF in Baltimore goes all-Christmas starting the day before Thanksgiving, with this weekend being a "preview weekend". They say that "Even....American Top 40 will be Christmas", so I guess they'll be running Casey's Christmas shows for the next six weeks (through Dec. 26).

WRVF flipped to Xmas today. No more Casey on Saturday night unti 2011.
WHNN also flipped to Xmas. However, they will air the AT10 2005 Christmas shows on Sundays from 8 am to 11 am EST. This is confirmed on the WHNN website.
