In Oct 27, 1979 now it seems to be interesting story of Jimmy Buffet and Glenn Frey, that was reused from opt xtra last time around Sept 1979 in honor of Jimmy Buffet death.

A screw-up on The Drive (KDRI) this morning: After the break that followed "Good Time Charlie" at #10 in the '72 show, the #6 through #3 segment of last week's '74 show (Bad Co. through BTO) was played, returning to the '72 show for the last extra ('Clair') followed by Elvis and Chuck's Ding-a-Ling. The show ended 10 minutes early, and #s 9 through 3 of the '72 show didn't get played.

Any word on this coming weekend's AT40: The 70's A/standalone show to be paired with an AT40 Christmas show? My guess is 11/4/1978 (4 hours - Hour 1 optional).

1973 is a candidate as that is the show longest without play. Lots of great music in early November 1973. So from 11-4-23 to 12-23-23, we will have eight different standalone years as "A" shows with "B" going to Christmas Specials. Since 1972 and 1979 were just played this past weekend, it would be great to hear the other eight years--70, 71, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77 and 78 in those eight weekends.

This AT40 show was played in 2011 previously starting with hour #2 but has yet to be replayed with first hour optional!

Has it been announced somewhere that Premiere is starting Christmas shows this weekend? In past years, they haven't begun until the second weekend in November.

We haven't gotten word on this weekend's AT40: The 70's show as of yet also.

We do know at least one station is flipping late this week, and there may be others. My former local affiliate would flip the Friday before Thanksgiving.

Last year on the first weekend of November, there were still regular shows, featuring 1971 and 1979. So if history is an indication, it is likely going to be the weekend of 11-11/12.

Still nothing on this weekend's AT40: The 70's shows either standalone or an A and B pairing with or without Christmas AT40 shows?

I thought Standalones couldn't be a 4 hour show in this part of 1978. I believe they are Standalone shows from 1976, 1977, and through September 1978, due to some stations don't do 4 hour shows. So this may be Part A and Part B a Christmas show, as noted by dth1971?

So this may be Part A and Part B a Christmas show, as noted by dth1971? For a long time Premiere has made the Christmas shows the sole B's for most of November and December, for both the 70s and 80s. For stations that won't play shows that were originally four hours due to lack of time or unwillingness to play an incomplete show, their options are to simply play hours 2-4 of them, air the holiday countdowns, or put on some off-schedule countdown that Premiere has presumably authorized. The one time when I think this really can get awkward is with the year end shows, which are mostly spread over two weeks and many stations only play hours 2-4 of both halves, meaning that not only do listeners not hear the beginning but there's a gap in the middle. (Note that AT40 originally started making the two halves of the year end countdowns four hours each in 1974, nearly four years before they expanded the regular weekly countdowns.)
