I am a subscriber to Shadoe's YouTube page and just saw this interesting promo. Looks as if his shows may soon be offered to radio stations? youtu.be/QcvQw8dTP7s |

And we all know it takes just one that streams for people to have a chance to hear those shows. One number that really grabs me when I see that video is '110 countries'. Just reiterates how much more popular AT40 with Shadoe Stevens was with the 109 countries not named the United States than it was here in the USA.

I wonder how hard it will be to sell these shows over the Casey era episodes. Since Birmingham is limited with "variety" music stations, I don't see Magic 96.5 dropping the Casey shows for Shadoe. But you are right, hopefully a streaming station will air it, so we can all listen in. |

What I'd like to know is the following:
* When will we hear these shows for the first time over terrestrial radio?
* What packages will be offered? That is:
-- Will it be only a "Shadoe Steves-only" package (i.e., 1988-1995 episodes), and the Casey Kasem-era episodes will continue "as is"?
-- Will stations that air 1980s "Casey Kasem" episodes be offered a "B" option, with said B option being a Shadoe Stevens episode from 1988-1989?

I find that good they will be offered & will be happy if any streaming stations air them. When Casey left AT40 in 1988, I was more dedicated to Billboard so I stayed with AT40 for as long as they could hold on. Besides I'd love to relive this period once again.

Brian Pure speculation, but my guess is it will be offered as a seperate package from the Casey offerings. Not only due to the host change, but also because the musical offerings are, for the most part, nowhere near what the Casey 80s package offers. 1989 does not appeal to the Classic Hits/AC market like 1980-1988. We don't even know if this is Premiere (although the nomenclature used at the end of the video makes me think it is) |

As many on this board have speculated, it would figure to only be a matter of time before the 90's shows (AT40 or Casey's Top 40) start becoming available in some form or another. |

We don't even know if this is Premiere (although the nomenclature used at the end of the video makes me think it is) Yeah, hard to say what exactly will happen, but since there's only (essentially) five full years of 1990s shows available (1990-1994), it would make sense to offer it as a separate package for those stations that want it that way (e.g., an AC station that starts its "oldies" library with the late 1980s). Then again, I can see a late 1988 or 1989 show being offered as a "B" show for stations that want it ... classic hits/oldies/AC stations that play all of the 1980s, rather than just up to about 1986-1987 or so. I mean, we're getting "B" shows already for the 1980s package, with what I'm guessing is (usually) 1980-1981 shows being offered in tandem with a year from later in the decade. (Although this week, we get 1988 as the "A" and 1983 as the "B," so maybe the current concept is a test ground?) It'll be interesting to see how it'll all be packaged and offered once it happens. We'll just have to wait and see. That said, I cannot believe that late 1988-1989 music is that much stylistically different than 1980-August 1988. It is as though the music magically changed the day Casey was no longer at the mike for AT40. I also have to believe that Premiere Radio Networks is probably going to be the syndicator, and not because of on what was at the end of the video. I mean, they DO own the rights to the entire AT40 franchise, including rerun rights, right? Brian |

Good to hear these shows are finally being offered! It is about time, after all. Wonder how all the rights got sorted out (between Shadoe, Premiere, Billboard, etc.)
Don't get me wrong, I love AT40 and Casey Kasem but Shadoe has been ignored for far too long, almost as if he was being overlooked as a part of AT40 history.
EDIT: PS Hope this is the real deal, and not a fake video. I have not been able to confirm elsewhere.

As many on this board have speculated, it would figure to only be a matter of time before the 90's shows (AT40 or Casey's Top 40) start becoming available in some form or another. This is just me, but if I were managing an oldies/classic hits station that had both the 1970s and 1980s programs, I would play a Shadoe Stevens show if offered as a "B" show. And depending on the 1970s offering, I'd partner it up with an early 1970s show. Meaning in December, the possibility is for a December 1970 show and then a December 1989 program (as that week's "B" offering). To show just how much music has changed in 19 years. But again, this all depends on how the Shadoe programs will be offered and what choices radio station programmers will have available to them. Good to hear these shows are finally being offered! It is about time, after all. Wonder how all the rights got sorted out (between Shadoe, Premiere, Billboard, etc.) Don't get me wrong, I love AT40 and Casey Kasem but Shadoe has been ignored for far too long, almost as if he was being overlooked as a part of AT40 history. My guess is that Shadoe -- and perhaps Kasem's children(?) -- had something to do with negotiating things with Premiere. Brian |

Unless something has changed in the past couple months, I don't believe that Premiere /iHeart has ownership of the Shadoe Stevens shows. This may be Shadoe himself and another distributor capitalizing on the popularity of AT40 and '90s nostalgia. I would be extremely surprised if this was being done by iHeart.

It's been said many times on this board that Premiere owns everything AT40, so would think that includes the Shadoe Stevens' years. It would be good to know for sure though from an authorative source. EDIT: here's a link to that end - at40fg.proboards.com/thread/219/at40-80s-weeks-show?page=705 |
