On the copy of the 8/11/90 show I have, many of the outro jingles have been altered to include "Pepsi" in them. For example, one jingle goes "All Over the World...Pepsi Counts 'Em Down", where "Pepsi" replaces "'D' Shadoe".
Is anyone aware of another show like that?

not for AT40, but funny you mention that one. Thats the only show I have left from all of the ones that got thrown out.
American Country Countdown for the year end shows and special presentations had jingles to the same music as the regular ones but some of the jingles were "ACC Special."
Dees also had a couple of shows where the "jingles" were done for that show exclusively. I know the Platinum Plus Special was one.

I believe that's the international version of theAT40 jingle, with Pepsi inserted in the outro jingle.
I remember hearing those when my Dad was still based in Clark Air Force Base in the Philippines in the early 90's.

Yes, that's true, Alfred... that is the international version.
Pepsi sponsored AT40 in Europe during its 90s run and even Rick Dees WT40 later when it replaced AT40, so in case of AT40 some of the jingles were altered...
International versions didn't carry commercials the way US versions did... although when it comes to Rick Dees (I remember listening to it few times in Croatia in 96 and/or 97) there were only Pepsi commercials and station jingles inbetween segments!

Correction on what NENAD mentioned above:
Pepsi sponsered the international version of AT40 only from 90 - 91.
In 93, 94 and the first 2 weeks of 95 it was SONY MUSIC who was the sponsor for the show.
If a specific radio station still aired Pepsi spots in 92 and upwards, it was just a local thing that has no official sponsor work behind it.
And if somebody asks why not the 3rd and 4th (final) AT40 in 95 ?
There was no more sponsor for these last shows. The big sponsoring deal was i.m.o. the main reason why AT40 extended it's international run after ending in the US in July of 1994.
Too complicated to cancel all these deals along with a big load of international affiliates. So they decided to complete the Sony deal until January of 1995 and end the show 2 weeks later at the end of Stevens' contract.
