I was wondering if you guys and girls could post the stations that you listen to AT40 on?
I try to listen on the weekends, but it seems that stations keep changing their times and dates, and some have even dropped it altogether.
I'm trying to create a 'list of sorts" that have the station, time and date of the AT40 broadcast.
I do have the nenad website bookmarked, and it's a great site - but that site needs constant updating.
I really appreciate any information, and if you have the link, could you please post it!
Thanks a bunch!

Thanks a bunch! I do agree that affiliate stations keep changing the on-air time of the syndicated shows (as well as their link to the webstream), and therefore, that we should share information with regard to the stations and on-air time schedule of AT40 70s, 80s, or the current one. However, rather than creating another list or website for that purpose, I think that we should better contribute updating the existing sites like nenad's great website (or wikipedia's lists for 70s and 80s) by providing them with the latest information. Of course, we should appreciate it if Premier will post the lists on their website and keep them updated...

As far as I know, WQSR has continued to air the 80s show w/out incident in its sunday nite timeslot. The only change around here has been no airings of the 70s show.......instead, Lite102 decided to carry AT-10's xmas shows, since that station went all x-mas around thanksgiving. I expect the 70s show to return tommorow morning on Lite102.

Thanks for your input everyone.
I guess I'm also interested in WHICH particular stations everyone listens to on here - I like to record the shows, and always try to find a stream that has a good, quality sound.
Sirius XM always sounds nice, especially without the commercials - but I like to listen to the terrestrial stations as well, since it's almost always a different countdown from Sirius XM.
I also thought it might help others like myself who like to reference a thread on here when trying to track down AT40 sites.
Shadster - thanks for the links - I found some 80s references on Wikipedia as well as your site - but the 70s references on Wikipedia kept taking around in circles. (and I wasn't referencing Seacreast)

I'll add this west coast station in Central Oregon to this list. KQAK (The Duck) airs AT40 the 70's on Sundays beginning at 8:00 PST. I first found it late last spring and it has been there every week since. I haven't heard the 80's airing in the area yet.

Actually I think the audio quality on XMSirius SUCKS! I much more prefer the over-the-air heavily processed sound from the terrestial stations. The only interenet stream I'll record is from rick.com.......an even then, if I can MAKE It down to RIchmond to tape Dees off-air, I will. But usually its off the website.

Shadster - I kind of agree with what you're saying.
I would love nothing more than to record off the radio, which I've been doing since I can remember (early 1970s).
My problem is I live in a part of Cape Cod where all the radio station signals are not very strong - the Boston station (Oldies 103.3) is VERY weak, but I can still pick it up on my radio - but it's not good enough to record directly (unless I record it off it's website, and it's just not the same).
Otherwise, I HAVE to listen and record most of myh AT 40 stuff off the internet - terrestrial stations, as well as Sirius XM.

with the sirius XM merger, I can finally hear the AT40's 70's shows which sirius didn't have. I agree the quality sucks on satellite radio, laregly due to the stream rate and the codec used, it isn't mp3, but a unique compression scheme from lucent technologies which shows terrible artifacts with some audio, and virtually no stereo separation. hell, my mp3 stream sounds better then that.
still, while I really don't have the patience to record them, as no doubt XM/sirius will run them to death anyway, it's just nice to actually HEAR them, driving around in the car. I'm glad for just that.

I do have the nenad website bookmarked, and it's a great site - but that site needs constant updating. However, rather than creating another list or website for that purpose, I think that we should better contribute updating the existing sites like nenad's great website (or wikipedia's lists for 70s and 80s) by providing them with the latest information. As I mentioned couple of times before, I am aware of constant changes that stations do... but as I alone work on my site and trying to keep track with any updates through google, wikipedia updates and other sources, it is almost impossible to be on the "real-time update" side with all the changes regarding updates and schedules. Therefore, I really appreciate any (and all the) help that I can get from any of you with the incorrect or update information on my website that you can provide, so I can keep the website and the list as up to date as possible. So, as long as you help me (and very much thanks to all of you that already do that!), I can help you with the updated site So, feel free to send me a mail (through my website) as soon as you find out anything of interest... Thanks once again for/to all the support(ers)!

Nenad - I've been checking out as many web sites as I could today that carry AT 40 with streaming online - I'll send you an e-mail when I get finished.

I think WRBQ in Tampa may have removed "AT40: The '70s" from their lineup. The station went into an overhaul during the holidays and they added Tom Kent to their lineup.

The new PD (who also does middays) announced on the air that "AT40: The 70's" is still being carried and will return this Sunday at 8:00 AM Eastern (he said they had gotten a lot of phone calls and e-mails asking about it).
