I'm just curious, but where is 1974? It seems to be getting the shaft lately since April...

Curious why AT40 is only played on the 70s channel and no where else?

Curious why AT40 is only played on the 70s channel and no where else? It's also played on regular radio (check local listings, or see other threads that list where you can stream online). Regular radio also airs the 80's shows. These are part of the Premiere Radio Network. These shows are usually not edited, so you get the entire show. As for SiriusXm, they used to air the 80's show on the 80's channel, but when Sirius and XM merged a few years ago, they dropped it and went with their own countdown hosted by the MTV hosts from the channel. This show was what Sirius had been airing prior to the merge. On the 70's channel Sirius had aired their own 70's countdown, a top 30 show hosted by Dave Hoeffell. After the merge both shows were dropped for AT40, but the 80's channel went back to their original produced show (which is often loaded with factual errors).

Which 1979 program aired today? 8/11/79 Although I'm happy that Premiere played August 12th, 1978 this weekend, August 11th, 1979 would have been my 2nd choice as these were on there... AT40 originates in Hollywood, I'm Casey Kasem, and watch out for this song, this is the highest debuter in over a year, in fact, it's one of the 3 highest debuting songs of the past 5 years, last week at 41, this week at #18, here's the Electric Light Orchestra and Don't Bring Me Down...Highest debuting record of the week, ELO and Don't Bring Me Down... ...And here they come again. #17. Never in AT40 history have we had this situation, 3 acts with 2 songs apiece all in the countdown at the same time, this week, Donna Summer, Earth, Wind & Fire and ELO each have 2 songs in the countdown, and ELO's just happen to land back to back, at #17, their 2nd hit in The 40, Shine a Little Love...The Electric Light Orchestra at #17, falling a couple of notches with a former Top 10er, Shine a Little Love.

Guess that means 08.17.74? Sirius XM played that week a couple years ago. I'm thinking 8/24/74 this time. One of the members from the XMFan forums says that 22 out of the 40 songs are in SXM's regular rotation. That may be a record. Today, BMR is playing every top 40 hit from 1974, not just what SXM likes.

I concur and that will set up a piggyback situation with Premiere. On Labor Day weekend, there is only one 70s show that fits Premiere's normal criteria for choosing shows. They like to stay within the same month but also without going backwards with the date. Yes there are exceptions to that rule but not this time!

Since XMFan is putting AT40 the 70s up on their site (mikeargo), why don't I do it here? It might be better that way...

The problem is that they might play a different show from that year and some may not want to be spoiled.

Well, someone puts it up early on the XM fan site almost every week, so those who frequent that board know not to look it up if they don't want to know early, as is the case here. I often post up the playlist there. Sometimes it does have to be changed, for instance if they change years in midweek or one of two weeks is equally playable.
I also put up this week's AT40 (with Seacrest) early on the Pulse Music Board. I got that one old-school style: by listening to the countdown at the first opportunity and writing the songs down.

When I said 08.17.74 - I thought 1974 was what was airing this weekend (3rd August weekend)since I hadn't seen anything about what was coming up.
Yep, for 4th August weekend it should be 08.24.74.

Labor Day weekend... 1978!! Should be the first LDD show--8/26/78. Not the first (or second, or third) time I've heard it, but a good show nonetheless.
