Thanks for the clarification--that is the first explanation that made sense.

I'm so PO'd at XM 70's!!! I just finished listening to their American Top 40 broadcast from April 14, 1979, and they cut off the closing theme!!! RRRRRRR!!!! RRR!!!! Especially since it was the classic "Shuckatoom Song" that has become virtually synonymous with AT40's classic era. XM, how could you?  Huh? They NEVER used to cut any themes from the XM 70s AT40 shows, why did they do it today? I also noticed that the end-of-hour music has been cut short as well from more recent XM 70s replays of AT40, which also frustrates me. On the other hand, XM's sibling channel 80s on 8 has started to get a little bit better about running the full-length end-of-hour and closing themes in recent weeks. Please, XM, don't mess with our AT40 Classics!!! Don't take our "Shuckatoom" away!! Also, if this XM-Sirius merger goes through, I hope that somehow, some way, the new regime will find a place for Classic AT40 on their service. |

honestly, if the merger happens (and I am one who thinks and HOPES it will) I dont think AT40 will be on there. Both the 70's and 80's Sirius channels already have countdown shows and I don't think 2 on each would be very well received. Plus, they are a CC owned property and CC may be totally shut out of the satellite radio world if this merger takes place.

Out of curiosity, what countdown shows does Sirius play?

something on the 70's channel done by someone on that station. And Nina Blackwoods Big 80's Top 40 Countdown on the 80's channel.

I have access to both Sirius and XM. On Saturday mornings around 11A Central time,Sirius runs a Top 30 countdown looking back at a particular week from the 70's. I wanna say its based on the Billboard charts too,but they never really specify that. They're basically recreating a countdown from that era. Sirius and Nina Blackwood do the same thing on the 80's channel during the morning. They're still fun to listen to,and you get to hear some songs that aren't normally played. As for the problems with XM running AT40,I feel for some of you diehard fans out there because I know alot of you are probably trying to record this stuff,and the constant errors don't help. If I didn't have so many of these shows myself,I'd be bummed if I was trying to record something,only to have these occasional errors pop up. Still,from a strictly listening standpoint,it is fun to hear these shows and alot include songs that are not part of XM's regular rotation.

Bring back the Shuckatoon! Is there an email address for the XM 70s Program Director? I can't believe they are shutting down the show so quickly after the Casey sign off! They weren't doing that till the past few weeks.

I'm afraid to be the bearer of bad news.
On American Top 40 the 70s, and American Top 40 the 80s for the broadcast stations, Premiere radio does not offer the stations the ending hour music and the closing theme music.
The ending hour music only last a few seconds after Casey stops talking. It is followed by the national commericials that are offered with the show. At the end of the show, Casey will say his famous closing. Then Ed McMann will have the credits for the people who produced the digital remaster of this AT40. After Ed stops talking, the end theme will last about 2-3 seconds, then fades out.

I think tacomalo was talking about the XM shows where the 70s channel used to broadcast AT40 shows complete with end-of-hour and closing music, but just recently started cutting off both the end-of-hour and closing music. Maybe XM has switched over to the newly syndicated versions of the AT40 70s shows you were talking about, rather than using the original versions they started with. Oddly, XM 80s DOES broadcast its AT40 shows with full-length versions of the end-of-hour and closing themes, although they did not do so at first, at least not every week. I always thought XM was using the original versions of the AT40 shows, but who knows? |

It is possible that the closing theme music of each classic show is completely recorded by Premiere and potted down by the affiliate stations.
In their view ithe show's over and t's time to get the ID out of the way and go on with the music.
