This week's show: April 17, 1971 Does SXM usually refer to the Billboard date or the AT40 date for the '70/'71 shows? Both Premiere and SXM have referred to the shows from July 1970 through April 1971 by the chart date--so this week's show would have aired on the weekend of 4/10/71.

To bring the news of Dick Clark's death into the realm of Casey Kasem--check out the coverage on ABC's website. There's a clip where Casey talks about the impact of Dick Clark on popular music. The clip can be viewed at tv.yahoo.com/news/dick-clark-dead-at-82.html

That along with a weekend marathon of the $25,000 Pyramid or even the $10,000 Pyramid that IIRC was the original incarnation of the show, which I watched as a teenager every chance I got back in the day. As important as Casey Kasem is to our pop music culture, Dick has to be the most important man to that culture. RIP. Dick Clark.

Airing the AT40 show that Dick Clark guest hosted - even though month late - would be a great and fiting tribute. I hope it happens.

I realize that Premiere will not air the "AT40" countdowns where someone else filled in for Casey,but they should make an exception in the case of Dick Clark.

I will keep an eye out, but I am betting that GSN will air a marathon of 25,000 and 100,000 Pyramid. They always do unless they dont have the rights to air a show. But even then they do what they can.

1974 again? This is the third time in as many months they've played that year; we've heard it twice since they last played 1975 or 1976 and three times since they last ran 1973 (in fact, SXM has played 1973 only once since last June.)
Lately it seems that Premiere has done better at rotating years (avoiding overplaying some years while skipping others for months) than SXM has.

Lately it seems that Premiere has done better at rotating years (avoiding overplaying some years while skipping others for months) than SXM has. This has always seemed to be the case with SXM. They overplay certain years and ignore others at the same time. Case in point--they played, I believe 5 shows from 1970 last year (in the 6 months it was available) and ignored 1975 from March 1st to September 6th (roughly the same amount of time). Before that, they were responsible for the longest drought in either series, from 8/21/76 to 5/7/77 - a stretch of 8-1/2 months. Having an even rotation is clearly not a priority over there.

That's strange because their 80s Not AT40 countdown is in a really good groove right now of mixing up years. And spreading them out over different parts of the decade; the last three weeks, they've played or will play the end, beginning, and middle (1989, 1980, and 1985).

They might be making up for last year when they did not play 1974 in Feb, March or April (or Jan. for that matter).

Pardon my stretch to the Premiere broadcasts, but anyone know stations that will broadcast the entire 4 hours of this weekend's 1979 show?

Lately it seems that Premiere has done better at rotating years (avoiding overplaying some years while skipping others for months) than SXM has. The #1 song in this show is "TSOP", the Soul Train theme so SXM may have played this show as a tribute to the late Don Cornelius. In which case, both Don and Dick Clark are being paid tribute to this weekend and deservedly so.
