WXXM Rewind 92.1 FM Madison, Wisconsin is now airing this Saturday morning for AT40: The 70's...the B show of September 23, 1978 (2 weeks before the show went to 4 hours).
Later today I can catch via WVLI Kankakee the A show of September 26, 1970.
For 9/23/1978: How's this for a pairing to start off the show? Dolly Parton's "Heartbreaker" at #40 and Meat Loaf's "Paradise By The Dashboard Light" at #39.

In case anyone was wondering, the Andy Griffith TV show referred to in the 9/26/70 AT40 due to Linda Ronstadt singing the theme song was called "Headmaster", and Linda sang the song "Only a Man". It had just debuted when this countdown was broadcast, but unfortunately it only lasted half a season.
(Incidentally I heard this today while listening to the countdown on WKGX from Lenoir, North Carolina, not far from Andy's native Mount Airy and thus probably Mayberry.)

"Headmaster" was subsequently cancelled by CBS due to low ratings-In early 1971,CBS presented "The New Andy Griffith Show"-They were hoping that viewers would make this show as popular as the original "Andy Griffith Show"-Lightning didn't strike twice & the show was off the network within a few weeks.

"Headmaster"--13 episodes, September 1970 to January 1971, re-run in summer '71. "The New Andy Griffith Show"--10 episodes, January to May 1971. Both CBS. "New Andy" debuted the week after "Headmaster"s last original episode aired, in the same Friday 8:30-9:00ET time slot. Doubt if either has ever shown up on any form of home video. Griffith would have to wait until 1986 for another hit TV series, when "Matlock" debuted for a nine-season run, 6 on NBC followed by 3 more on ABC. That was one more season than he had spent as Sherriff Andy Taylor on CBS from 1960 to 1968. ...and, who would've guessed, there's a "Matlock 'reboot' in the works.  |

Listening to the 1970 show on WVWP, H1S1 started right with the AT40 theme instead of the Larry Morgan intro. Aberration, station goof-up, or is that how it got sent out?

I'm thinking that's how Premiere sent the show to the affiliate stations.

The "Matlock" reboot to debut on CBS in Fall 2023 is postponed until possibly midseason thanks to the WGA and SAG/AFTRA strikes going on (Though the WGA strike may be settled with an approved deal this weekend and/or into next week). |

I think I heard that Kathy Bates will be starring in the "Matlock" reboot.

AT40: The 70's 9/26/1970 is on now on WVLI Kankakee, just a few minutes late following an Mantato Oktoberfest festival update from WVLI, and I noticed and heard no Larry Morgan intro to start the first hour. |

KOKZ going w/butchered 1978 KOKZ skipped the 3rd Jimmy Buffet OE. I heard it on WPNC and it seemed to be a Casey-voiced extra taken from another show - not a normal Larry-voiced tribute. |

Last week Jimmy's "Fins" was introed with a Casey story about Jimmy Buffett and Glenn Frey retreating to an island for some solitude only to find themselves and their music recognized by the island's residents. I wonder if the same story was used this week? There should at least have been some acknowledgement from Larry of Jimmy's passing, especially as "Cheeseburger In Paradise" (unlike "Fins") was not on or moving up the chart on the date featured. |
