To expound, the original broadcast WOULDN'T edit any part of the #1 song. I'm very sure of that. Actually you can edit any song for the purpose of timing out the show.

Why on earth, WOULD the original broadcast, edit the #1 song? Doesn't make sense!

That is a decision the engineers and editors decided to make. They decided they WOULD do it

There was DEFINITELY some editing on the 12-15-79 Premiere broadcast. I remember listening to it on WBBM-FM, originally. There was no editing done on the original broadcast.

I did notice that JD Souther's "You're Only Lonely" sounded REALLY GOOD compared to the other songs in the 40 this week. There were some endings that were cut short yes, but I have heard worse. One I can agree with is the shorter intro of John Cougar's "I Need A Lover" in which I need an intro that won't drive me crazy! If the actual intro were played on that song, Casey could have named a list of famous women who were over 40 and still would have time to kill.

"Heartache Tonight" and "Escape" were edited on the 12-15-1979 show. If Premiere needed to edit the show, couldn't they just move the Archives to the optional extra?

On the 12/17/1983 show, it sounded like there was some looping going on during Talking In Your Sleep.

Edits were done to the 12-20-80 broadcast, 'cause I heard the show fully unedited, when it originally aired on WBBM-FM.

Wow you have a great memory. So what commercials were played in 1980? Here is an edit on the original show for next week or actually the week after. Walt Bailey's site has (cut short) after "Sundown" in the Top 100 of 1974. BTW, 15 songs on this wee's 70s show are in that survey, many of them in the bottom 50. So some songs will be heard 2 weeks in a row. Thought that was a no-no for Premiere.

Well, we almost get the same thing for the 80s, with several songs from last week's December 1983 show to reappear in the 1984 year-end countdown (including the #1 song, which tops both countdowns.) Premiere may often try to avoid that, but it's obviously not an inviolable rule.

Here is a strange editing fact about the first segment of the 12/15/73 show. On the Premiere broadcast, #40 was 45 seconds shorter than the original segment, #39 was 50 seconds shorter, #38 was 45 seconds shorter, #37 was 30 seconds shorter but #36 was a minute LONGER than the original segment. So sometimes Premiere really changes things up from the original broadcast. All told the Premiere first segment was 1:50 shorter than the original first segment.

I was wrong. Some songs WERE edited on the original 12-27-80 broadcast, IIRC.

This wasn't actually an edit of the show, but I wish Premiere hadn't shortened "Same Old Lang Syne", which was an optional extra in the 12/20/80 show. They cut out at least half of the story/narrative.

That is a decision the engineers and editors decided to make. They decided they WOULD do it Doesn't mean they SHOULD have. This is obviously an "oh s&&&" moment by the engineers and editors who didn't time things out properly and didn't know until the last minute deadline. Unbelievably sloppy. Also, the original show from 12/20/80 shows 12 minutes of local avail per hour. By combining segments, Premiere is probably down to 8 minutes of local inventory per hour? Did they not run network ads in 1980 to fill part of AT40's four hours?
