^ Re: #25 -- Isn't that song titled "Why", by Donny Osmond. Not familiar with a "Fly" song from his repertoire.

The program director for the 70s channel right now is Kid Kelly. Here's what SXM can actually uncover what he does (from the XMFan forums):
Daily: not much.
Weekly: Chop up American Top 40, eliminating any personality, context, facts or continuity from Casey Kasem's voice tracks.
Bi-weekly: collect obscenely large paycheck.
Monthly: Listen to 70s on 7. Make sure Earth, Wind and Fire, Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, ABBA or the Doobies are played within 10 minutes. When this happens, make a note to listen again in a month.
Never: update playlist, established and set in stone in 2008.
All done!

If anyone recorded 11-4-72, can they spare a copy? I don't have SXM and LOVE 1972...

I have to say, If I am elected as PD of the 70's channel, I would play each and EVERY song that was in the top 40 between 1-1-70 and 12-31-79. Plus have a special feature where once an hour we'd play songs released in that time that missed the top 40. Artists like Elton, Carpenters and such who had ALOT of hits would get played more than others but NOT TO DEATH! and we'd hear more than 4 or 5 songs per artist. AT40 would air untouched beginning to end! I look forward to your vote!

Could we not post what the top 40 songs are? We can look up the info ourselves. Also, how do you know what's in the rotation, Mellongraig? I thought you admitted that you don't listen or you don't have SiriusXM.

I thought you admitted that you don't listen or you don't have SiriusXM. All this comes from the XMFan forums - they know what songs are in the rotation (though I don't think they play every one of them) and they complain that they don't play all the #1 hits or artists that are ignored on the 70s channel other than the AT40 shows they play each week. But yet a lot of SiriusXM members subscribe anyway. And ponderousman, no, I don't listen nor have SXM. I do check the XMFan forums from time to time.

See that's the problem. I would guess that the majority of the people who follow this post DO have and listen to SXM, so we're already aware of its pros and cons. I could see if you had SXM and hated it and therefore the rants, but then if you hated it, why would you listen? As you said, despite its shortcomings, we still subscribe anyway. Obviously we aren't that concerned with the problems. Yeah, it could be improved, but still we listen. I found it a bit odd in a previous post that you said theat SXM edits nearly all of Casey from the AT40 shows. This isn't the case. They do edit out any song not from the 70's and occasionally they edit out a story for no apparent reason, but for the most part that's it for the edits. I don't know, it just seems to me if you don't listen to SXM then you really can't complain about it. Those of us that do have it and do listen obviously like something about it. Just my opinion.

As for SXM editing AT40. It should be untouched from beginning to end. I know they were editing out teases and break returns whenever they could. Not sure if that's still a practice but it shouldn't be. They also edit out End Of Hour and End Of Show music beds. Didn't do that before the merger...

Usually they do edit out teasers; many songs open with Casey saying something like "Now we're up to the latest hit from the band that...", following up on a tease that we don't get to hear (though in fairness most such clues originally led into commercial breaks that aren't there either.) Music beds at the end of the hour or show are cut out in favor of the SXM 7 jingle, though there was one specially scheduled broadcast (of a regular countdown) this summer which ended with them playing out the whole "Shuckatoom" theme. Usually closing themes are cut off as soon as Casey stops talking. And of course any extras, including Long Distance Dedication requests, that predate 1970 are deleted, which is especially noticeable on countdowns from early in the decade (extras from the 70s, with accompanying stories or dedications, are left in.)

I subscribe to SXM and (probably along with other listeners), have noticed that they edit the three hour shows to approximately 2:20 and the four hour shows to 3:00. Casey's full intros, along with several optional songs, are usually cut from the Premiere tapes. Don't know why the station programmers decided on 2:20, other than it's nearly 3/4 of 3:00 -- for consistency across original 3-4 hour shows. Just a thought.

I talked to Human Numan a while back and he said it made no sense to leave in a tease, the jingle, a pause, the in jingle and then the payoff right away. But 90% of the time, the payoff for the tease (story) is the second song in a segment. So you still have to wait. I told him at least one hour leave the whole EOH music playing and then the final theme at the end. Its not as if they need to cut things short for commercial purposes... I see why they cut out pre 70's songs, but to me, its stupid because its part of the show. Plus there's a story included, so its not as if a song is played for no apparent reason.

That is simply due to cutting out commercials. Mostly.
