I bet Premiere does an extra change to include Fins which would enter the chart the very next week 9/8/79 as a Jimmy Buffett tribute. Probably the next time 1979 comes around as an 'A' selection. Although "Cheeseburger In Paradise" and "Margaritaville" extras might be added in their respective years when they come around again. Don't forget "Come Monday" on a '74 show. By far JB's best semi-hit single, IMO.

Sept 1, 1979 has been using updated jingle package though, well except each hour beginnings, and hour 4 closure. Maybe this could change sometime by early October. This was in the middle of "transition" with AT40. The previous weekend (8/25), the new stereo bumper jingles debuted, while "Shuckatoom" stayed on as the show opening theme, and top-of-hour theme. Then, come 9/22, "Dark Disco" would debut as the opening theme, top-of-hour theme, and closing theme, though it would only be used as the opening theme for four shows, as "Shuckatoom" returned as the show open theme on 10/20/1979. "Dark Disco" would remain as the hour open and show close through 4/17/1982, and heard sporadically until its last appearance on the 1/7/1984 show. Then, on 1/14/1984, all jingles were replaced.

As of this 9/2/2023 weekend AT40: The 70's (and AT40: The 80's) has returned to its Saturday afternoon time slot on WVLI Kankakee.

That's too bad, as both "Young Blood" and "Hold On" (Triumph's song with that much-used title) are true 'lost 45s'. Oh, well...

While neither was a big hit, the one-two 'punch' of "Saturdaynight" at 38 and "Girl Of My Dreams" at 37 on the 9/1/79 chart definitely heralded a new sound. I don't think either would've made the 40 six months earlier. That fall I saw Bram Tchaikovsky at a local club. They were good. Casey erroneously calls them 'he' on this show.

"Girl Of My Dreams" is a fantastic song!-Should've been a way bigger hit.

Kudos to Premiere for playing "Cheeseburger In Paradise" as the Hour 1 OE for this week's A show from 9/1/73-That happens to be one of my favorite Jimmy Buffett songs.

Since announcing the sale of station, WRTH has returned to airing both shows on Sunday morning. WRTH will switch to a religious format in about 2 months.

Premier will play it later on. I think the next 1978 AT40: The 70's show - mostly a standalone or, if 4 hours, A show - will be either 9/16/1978 or 9/23/1978 or 10/14/1978, and that "Cheeseburger in Parade" song will be an OPTIONAL EXTRA to pay tribute to Jimmy Buffett.

Is WPAC going to play the four-hour AT40 from 1979 this afternoon at 4pm?
