optional extra watch 12/9/1978

[jdelachjr2002]

Hi all,

This is the weekend that the few "AT40 '70s" affiliates not airing non-stop Christmas music will air the four-hour editions of the 12/9/1978 show.

Premiere never seems to move an Archive song or an Hour #1 original extra into the first optional extra slot thus us AT40 freaks have to search the few radio stations airing the four-hour AT40 in hopes that at least the first op extra (which is the Eagles' "Please Come Home For Christmas" interestingly enough) will be played.

The four-hour options are as follows

KLFM 8PM-Midnight Friday
WELK 7AM - 11AM Sunday (they probably still air the '70s I think)
KTHI 10AM - 2PM Sunday
KMCQ Noon - 4PM Sunday

I think these are all the options we've got. I can try to record KLFM but the other stations are not to be found on DAR.fm and I need guarantees that somebody can record one of the Sunday options if they happen to play the Eagles extra. I'm sorry but I don't know if there's any other way to get that elusive extra.

At least this is the last regular four-hour '70s show of 2012.

Yep - Hour 1 isn't over yet - there's one more segment left to go.

Woah, it was 8:02 AM Pacific, 9:02 Mountain and KTHI had the 1st Premiere Optional Extra, "Please Come Home for Christmas" by the Eagles, so much for someone else's theory of them not getting played passed the hour.
