1979 show starting right now on KDRI 'The Drive' Tucson. Only 3 hours, though. 100.7 The Otter in Oregon also appears they will run the 1979 show at Noon East/9 Pacific; also the 3-hr version.

Optional extras for the next two weeks:
A: Top 100 of 1978:
Part I: (last weekend of December) Hour #1: "MacArthur Park" - Donna Summer Hour #2: "Le Freak" - Chic Hour #3: "You Don't Bring Me Flowers" - Barbra Streisand & Neil Diamond Hour #4: "Stay" - Jackson Browne
Part II: (first weekend of January) Hour #1: "Theme From Close Encounters Of The Third Kind" - John Williams Hour #2: "Back In The U.S.A." - Linda Ronstadt Hour #3: "Right Down The Line" - Gerry Rafferty Hour #4: Montage of #1 Songs (was in original show)
This will be played as four hour shows usually are, with the first hour optional for each. So most affiliates will be missing an hour at the beginning and in the middle, but it won't be the previous Premiere-edited version where 50 songs were squished into three hours.
B: Top 80 of 1972:
Part I: Hour #1: "I Am Woman" - Helen Reddy Hour #2: "Me And Mrs. Jones" - Billy Paul Hour #3: "Papa Was A Rollin' Stone" - The Temptations
Part II: Hour #1: "Old Man" - Neil Young Hour #2: "I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing (In Perfect Harmony)" - The New Seekers Hour #3: "Anticipation" - Carly Simon

That show was a train wreck, wasn't it! It was indeed refreshing to hear the full eight-hour version back in 2018 - and the station that I listened to ran it in full!

The song I most associate with Ian Hunter is his own "When The Daylight Comes", which was never released as a single, but I remember hearing on the radio fairly regularly in the spring of 1979. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNdeiHyQo1MIan Hunter also gave us "England Rocks" in 1977. In 1979, it was rewritten/recorded as "Cleveland Rocks" on his "You're Never Alone With A Schizophrenic" album. The Presidents Of The United States Of America covered it in 1997. That version became the opening theme for "The Drew Carey Show". "Cleveland Rocks" was the flipside to Ian Hunter's only solo Hot 100 single "Just Another Night". It peaked at #68 in 1979. Wasn't there a version of that song called "Chicago Rocks"? I seem to remember hearing that one in the early 1980s (probably on WLS and/or the Loop or basically any rock station in Chicago) and it sounded a lot like the Ian Hunter song.

Now that WXXM Rewind 92.1 FM Madison, Wisconsin is back to its classic hits format after it's annual all Christmas music sweep, what AT40: The 70's year ender could the station play this Saturday morning? The station played the 1972 year ender at the end of 2021 and start of 2022.

No, I listen every Saturday morning and give out if it is the A show or B show played.
