Unusual chart: We have a #15 debut and a song falling off the 40 from its #18 peak ("Different Worlds"), but a 'static' top 10 (no new songs) without much movement. Only three of the 10 songs move more than one spot up or down. And 14 songs at their peak positions.

Listening to 10/13/79 on WSQL, and I'm curious, since Premiere features no commercials during the first (optional) hour, why someone (Ken Martin?) would feel compelled to remove split logos and/or move Casey's teasers? There are no commercial block time constraints. Why mess with the flow?

There are no commercial block time constraints. Why mess with the flow? My guess is show consistency and no need to reformat the show if the first hr commercial policy ever changes. Plus I'd assume local affiliates are free to ad their spots in that would be national time.

Okay, thank you. Fair enough. Although "messing" with the flow of the first hour of 4-hour shows is a relatively new occurrence. The first hour used to play happily along, moving seamlessly from "Casey's Coast to Coast" to "American Top 40" and on into the next song. In this 10/13/79 show someone deliberately cut some of those split logos out of the first hour. Also, in this show someone edited the teaser for (and the story about) James Brown's "Please, Please, Please" to remove Casey's commentary that referred to the song peaking at #95 on the pop chart, and replaced those pieces with Casey uttering words to the effect of "never reached the Hot 100." What is that all about?

Sadly, even this show has the 'Bowlderized' edit of "Bad Blood" in it. SO stupid and unnecessary, and NOT done in the original show! ![>:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/superangry.png)

And this weekend it starts at 9 PM Eastern time, for a five week period due to US and Australian daylight savings times.

What is that all about? Are these changes different from the 2016/2019 Premiere airings, or are you comparing it to the original broadcast? (I've only heard the 2000's SXM broadcast, so I have no frame of reference)

Just like Premiere has done to "Fight the Power" by the Isley Brothers for the AT40: The 70's airings of 7/12/1975 and 7/19/1975 censoring the Bull(CENSORED) word.

Just a reminder for those who listen to the '70s show this evening on KLFM: The four Australian states (including Victoria) that observe DST 'sprang forward' this past Sunday, October 1. So today's show will begin one hour earlier than it has been since April. This doesn't affect the Darwin station that carries the show, as the Northern Territory (the capital of which is Darwin) does not observe DST.
