BT40--ONLY ON XM70's!!!
SATURDAY, JANUARY 17, 2009 -- Until recently, XM Radio's 70's channel didn't receive a single solitary complaint about its airing of past "American Top 40" shows.
Until recently, that is.
Recent past 70's AT40 shows, however, have been edited--make that BUTCHERED--so badly, that I now have renamed the XM 70's feature BT40. As in "Butchered-American Top 40."
Oh, you think I'm kidding? The facts speak for themselves. The January 13, 1979 show that aired today on XM 70's had...
71 EDITS!
ALL DOZEN TEASES BY CASEY...EDITED OUT!
40 JINGLES...EDITED OUT!!!
ANOTHER DOZEN CASEY-ISMS ("35 hits to #1 and counting 'em down")...EDITED OUT!!!!
CASEY'S STATION WELCOMES TO START HOUR 3...EDITED OUT!
THE INSTRUMENTAL CLOSING TO HOURS 1, 2 AND 3...EDITED OUT!!!
THE SHOW THEME "SHUCKATOON" that began hours 2, 3 and 4...ALL EDITED OUT!
IF YOU'RE AS OUTRAGED AS I THINK YOU ARE, THEN PLEASE E-MAIL AND/OR CALL XM RADIO TO EXPRESS YOUR DISGUST!!!

The show won't sound like an American Top 40 show without all the jingles. What ends up would just be a bunch of songs with Casey talking in between. 
He must think we are all idiots. If all they edited was one of the jingles, I would not complain at all, and I think most of you wouldn't either. Rob I would suggest you send him the same list you posted above. 71 edits does not equal one jingle.
