Guess I should have said Premiere and Sirius XM could broadcast - just that Sirius XM can't edit out all the stories.
Yeah, don't know how the finances would be split. Guess have to hope the network licensing fee and network advertising could offset - plus perhaps Casey, Don and others could donate some of their time for the legacy and history for the many listeners.
I bet there are some great stories to be told across 18 years.

According to their facebook page, Casey Kasem counts down the Top 40 from Memorial Day 1977 all weekend (including Monday 12noon- 3pm est) on AT40 The 70s!
Memorial Day was the 30th that year, so the 28th is the closest airdate.

Premiere played 5/21/77 last year and (since the cat is now out of the bag) is airing 5/28/77 next week...so no real need to go after SXM's airing, whichever show it may be.

Are you sure about Premiere? Airing a show with a May date the first weekend of June would break one of their recent rules. Maybe 6/4/77?

Based on what was revealed in that list, he/we are sure. BTW, there are no Premiere 70s shows from the first weeks of April, May, June or July this year. And the only shows with a 'single digit date' during that stretch are both the 9th day of months in 1977.

Perhaps today's show should have had the intro "This Memorial Day we play the highlights from a 1977 show". Edited out the Alan O'Day intro to "Undercover Angel", he just died so keeping the full intro would have been appropriate. "Hotel California" and "Dreams" we're both heavily edited. Not sure what else was edited, this is just what I heard so far.

But going in the other direction - Sirius Xm played the entire end theme. Was nice to hear.

We bought a new vehicle earlier this month and it comes with a 90-day trial subscription to XM. This is the first time I've listened to AT 40 on XM in awhile. It was even more heavily edited than I ever remember. As was pointed out already, the intro to "Undercover Angel" was edited to the point that Casey said something like "at number 14, here's Alan with Undercover Angel". Obviously he had some sort of story about Alan O'Day and had already said his name earlier and all of us listening probably knew Alan's last name, but it clearly sounded odd.
If they're editing this heavily every week, I don't see this as a compelling reason to pay for XM when my trial is up.

Checking Pete Battistini's book "American Top 40 With Casey Kasem (The 70's)", he does not list any story for Alan O'Day in the 5/28/77 show. But I agree the intro to Undercover Angel was awkward.
Was very surprised to hear the full ending to Shuckatoom. The editing by XM makes no sense at times.

I also consulted Pete's book to see what the story must have been, but it appears to have been just a normal introduction of the song that got the ax. I'd love to ask whoever at SXM about these edits and why are they so random.

The reason the introduction to "Undercover Angel" was edited was due to Casey's reference to an upcoming special. Here's the complete intro: "Y'know, on July 4th weekend, we'll be presenting another American Top 40 special -- we'll count down the 40 most popular girls of the rock and roll era. What you'll be hearing are some of the biggest hits of the past two decades. And every one of them was inspired by, or dedicated to, a woman. As a matter of fact, Alan O'Day who sings this next song in the countdown, wrote one of those hit tunes -- called Angie Baby. Here's Alan with Undercover Angel, at number 14."

Thanks for the full intro. They've left those in before, why edit it out now? Honestly I don't understand why they edit anything out. The show is a time capsule, I don't think anyone listening thinks that any events or appearances are actually still coming up.

". . . Honestly I don't understand why they edit anything out. . ."
Many of us have posed that exact question to the various PDs at Sirius (originals and replacements) over the past few years, and the typical response [justification] is: "The majority of their listeners DO NOT want to hear anything but the music, even on the AT40 shows . . . and hearing Casey's banter only detracts from their listening experience. Since there are ONLY A FEW 'purists' who want to hear the shows unedited and who care about the non-musical content, we edit all of it out of the shows."
Of course that logic was / is not applied to the many annoying DJs that Sirius brought to the decades channels. I guess the PDs did not care that most listeners don't want to listen to inane DJ blather when they tune in to hear their favorite music.
