The following is representative of what is happening this week when trying to listen to the 70's show. Show is supposed to start at 4pm Pacific/7pm Eastern on Sunday.
Results: worc - 1979 2nd hour wupe - 1979 2nd hour am580 - playing 80's instead of 70's krib - not playing at40 wctb - not playing at40 wbet - playing 80's instead of 70's
That means none of the above are playing the proper 70's show.

I believe that KRIB out of Mason City Iowa has dropped the show. They have another station owned by the same company called Super Hits 102.7 that they may have moved the program to. I found their website but had no luck finding a programming schedule.

WBET is playing 1979 now, so not sure if there was a glitch earlier or not.

WCTB airing 1971... fairly good stream quality... hopefully, "Third Time Lucky"--I've been chasing this 1971 show for two days!
Please! Just one show next weekend!

Next week is just one show from each decade, the 70s being April 29, 1978. And if you miss that then you'll get most of the same songs from Sirius XM, which is likely to play the previous week.

OK... finally got all this weekend's AT40s shows... If any radio station program directors see this forum, a suggestion: In the future, if you can only play 3 hours of AT40 wouldn't it make more sense in a two-countdown weekend to air the 3 hour earlier 70s countdown option rather than airing the "Top 32" of AT40 the 70s??? Just stating the obvious here!
In any case, thank you for airing these classic AT40 shows. I enjoy them all!

What a mess once again when there are 2 shows, expecially when 1 of them is 4 hours. Yesterday, I never even found 1971. Some stations listed did not even air AT40 anymore. The ones that did aired the 3-hour 1979. I finally did find the 4-hour 1979 in the wee hours of the morning. Today when trying to find 1971, I found one station playing 1972 and another playing 1986 for whatever reason. The last station listed for this hour did play 1971, but I missed the 1st 20 minutes of the show. This. Of course, one of the best ways of 'policing' what stations still play AT40 is, ultimately, us reporting on any changes and updating accordingly. The worst case scenario happens when a normally dependable station drops the show at the last minute, which leads us to scrabble up and down the dial and across the internet. Does Premiere maintain a list of what stations carry the shows, and if so, is it available to us? This week was doubly screwed up by having the 1979 show as the 'A' show, which many stations (as I saw while I was surfing over the weekend) tend to default to.... which leaves us doubly disadvantaged into finding that rare 'plays all 4 hours' station as well as finding a station that'll still play a 'B' show. I don't know about others who record, but this weekend was a big hot mess, especially if you have to patch in parts of shows you missed due to time changes or stations dropping out in the middle of a recording.

One of the best ways to help us listeners would be for the stations that carry At40 shows to post the date of the show on their website, ahead of time (earlier the better) and play the show they post. Especially when it's a 2fer! Many do, but for whatever reason sometimes don't update it in a timely fashion. WSNV has posted up the cue sheets early, but didn't last week; they still have the April 1972 cue sheet from the previous weekend posted. (For the record, yesterday they played 3-hour 1979). At least this weekend will be straightforward, with only one 3 hour show.

98.9 FM is playing 1975 instead of 1971 or 1979.

How about if somebody just posts the shows the following Thursday or whenever there is no more chances to listen to the show?
Maybe have them at relatively low bit rate as well so people would have still have incentive to listen to them live on the weekends. Commercials could be left in as well even though they are usually local. To start it off, I could post both of last week's show at 32k if anybody is interested.

Radio Gold 1971 should repeat on Tuesday. First time I heard the intro chart date announced on this station! The 4/17/1971 show? What time? Is this the right site: www.radiogold.de/ ?
