That story about "Rock Around the Clock" completely overlooks the fact that the reason it finally became a hit was because of its use in the film Blackboard Jungle. Which happened because actor Glenn Ford's son, a budding record collector, had the original 45 and liked "RAtC", which was on the B-side. Ford was filming the movie (which was about teachers vs high school delinquents) and brought the song to the attention of the producers, and the rest is history.

UH OH! WVLI Kankakee is playing instead of 11/4/1978 the 6/9/1973 AT40: The 70's show!
I just sent an email to a person at WVLI Kankakee about this!
Even after 4 PM WVLI still airing the 6/9/1973 AT40: The 70's show (which was last aired June 2018, of course!)

In the spring of 1974,"Rock Around The Clock" was re-released & peaked at # 39 on the Billboard Hot 100-I'm thinking it was popular once again for two reasons:a).It was the original theme song from the TV series "Happy Days" which premiered on 1/15/74 & b).It was played over the opening credits of the 1973 movie "American Graffiti" which became a huge hit at the box office.

The station aired 70's & 80's shows from the summer of 2018 in March 2020.

Which happened 2 months before WMGN dropped both AT40 (70's/80's) shows for good, leaving Casey AT40 fans in Madison, Wisconsin heartbroken until WXXM Rewind 92.1 FM picked up AT40: The 70's and AT40: The 80's in August 2020.

WPAC only aired the 3-hr version of 11/4/78 this weekend.

Does WPAC no longer air the full four-hour shows? The download links started with the second hour when I played them yesterday and when I turned it on just now, it also started with the second hour.

Has Pete B dropped any hints as to this week's "A" show?

Since there's no real precedent of WPAC missing the first of four-hour 70's shows, I'm chalking it up to it being simply a mistake on their part and not some morbid harbinger of them dropping the series. But, YMMV.
