WBBG was another good one. So were Sunny 101.5 and Magic 97.5 when they aired the shows.

LThe Sunny I'm talking about was in Louisiana. Now I'm thinking maybe it was 106.9. Sorry. I have the jingle in my head. Terrible with remembering most things now

KOLA 99.9 have always been good for me. They don't air the extras very often, but they also don't miss bits of the show coming out of breaks. KOMA & WNSN were good as well, but both are now blocked outside the US. KCLH do crash the AT40 jingle and sometimes the first bit of the segment coming out of the breaks though.

I'd add CKRU to the list of dependables -- been listening to them every Saturday for several years now and they always play the extras, plus you get to hear a Canadian hit or 2 because they don't oversell the ad time. Their sister station CKWS was also great (and when there were 2 '70s shows they tended to split the difference) but sadly they dropped Casey a couple months ago.
Someone above mentioned Magic 98 in madison, and they're also dependable (and their "Saturday at the '70s" is excellent) but they don't play the extras.

Internet stream not returning as it should yet fine locally = not butchering. It's still butchering. You should be able to listen to the entire program no matter how you listen. Why even bother airing a program if significant amounts of content will not be heard? They may as well replace AT40 online with a block of songs for 3 hours. I feel the same way when TV shows air "in progress" after a live program takes longer than is scheduled.

WWZW for both 70s and 80s and they also do the full theme out at the end of the final hour

WWIS is a station I really like. They may start the 80s show on Friday afternoons later than they advertise (2 PM ET) and have their local news between the third and fourth hour (which can get lengthy depending on how many obits there are to read), but they don't have commercial breaks that cause the show to come on already in progress and they play all the optional extras (both 70s and 80s shows); they also play the full theme at the end of the show as well.

WMXW, in Binghamton, NY, was dependable when it hosted the '80s show (except one egregious time one January, when it aired the exact countdown three weeks in a row. I complained to the station, and the PD e-mailed me back, which was good. They were on the ball for a long time after that. Unfortunately, they dropped their '80s AT40 last fall, around the time another station (WBBW) picked up the '70s. I surmised that because both stations were owned by Clear Channel, they were not allowed to have both the '70s and the '80s running in the same market.
CKWS, in Kingston, Ontario, was dependable when they aired the '70s show on Saturday afternoons in 2011-12.. Unfortunately, I believed they dropped their broadcasts of the '70s. I enjoyed the station's oldies mix--featuring some good songs I had never heard before (Canada-only hits).

I like KTHI because I've been able to rely on them playing the four hour 1970s AT40s. I also like CKRU (Kruz-FM) from Canada. WWZW (3WZ), from Virginia, does a good job with both shows (I used to have problems with a repeated bloc of local commercials constantly interrupting the 1970s online stream, but that hasn't happened lately.) And while we've often discussed WQSR's occasional mistakes and problems, the location is convienent for me if I have to be in the car on Sunday evening.

I'd like to add B105.7 in Indianapolis, which has now carried AT40/80s for 2 years. They also play all 4 extras.
Plus, a nod of appreciation to WLS-FM in Chicago. Out of all of the radio stations licensed to the 3 largest US cities, only one broadcasts an AT40 show from Premiere.

I want to appreciate my local station KLOU and you know this year their going to be celebrating 25 years since they changed from the Hot Hits format and former at40 affiliate to the Classic Hits format they have today. The reason I bring this up is they changed formats a little after Casey left the first time. So its going to be 25 years this year since Casey left the first time.

KOLA 99.9 have always been good for me. Use ta be good, while I still like 'em for Casey Kasem, they have changed formats as of 2 weeks ago, their programming director Gary told me how it is done with a stupid song survey taken by people that not even actual listeners who say what songs are now listenable at present which determines what will get airplay, so these idiots are now on my crap list and will probably dump AT40 eventually too!
