They did? At 11:55AM I heard Gonzo Gates signing off from his show. In any event, WPNC replays the show Tuesday night at Midnight (12AM-4AM Wednesday) Replay is already at #36. Not quite midnight. Ugh. They must have started at 11 last night for some reason. Well, I think they also have it programmed for their marathon later this week. Might be another chance to catch it then.

Once again, the only AT40: The 70's show played with the rare C.J. and Company "Devil's Gun" in it, 7/16/1977 was the song's second week but Bruce Phillip Miller guest hosted. I Still have that audio so I can easily slot it in Sunday.

Got plans for the weekend so I just heard the show. I wonder what the record for most cold ending songs in a row is. Got 6 in a row in this one, #35-30. 2 of them, "Telephone Man" and "Just a Song Before I Go" are part of a segment that also has a story in it and is only 5:37 with neither song edited. That's because both are very short songs by 1977 standards! Casey mentions one step by step mover but not the other. "Angel in Your Arms" has moved 13-12-11-10-9-8-7 as Casey said and it will add a -6 to that line for what has to be the record for that kind of a thing. Probably broken this century as that is much more common with the monitored charts. The one Casey did not mention was "Gonna Fly Now" which went 7-6-5-4-3-2-1. 1977 is the year for this type of thing. "Boogie Nights" would have duplicated that latter feat but for the monster status of "You Light Up My Life" as it went 7-6-5-4-3-2. And what has to be the most frequent mistake Casey ever makes when he says that "Got to Give it Up" is a live recording.

Question to Ken Martn about the June 29, 1974 rebuilt show :
Is that show was an official Premiere show as the intro seems to show and was there a Premiere cue sheet for it ?

Well after H3S1, WTOJ switched to regular programming.... SOS Ken!!! Perhaps Ken will replace an AT40 special set for July 4th Weekend – assuming one is scheduled – with the 6/2/79 program. Plus, with this weekend’s show offering a June chart date, the music would still be timely and relevant. WTOJ hasn't updated their website but this looks like a big no go Peteski. I am surprised they didn't give their exclusive special 6/29/74 one final spin though.

I would think all the heavy lifting has already been done Peteski and a little computer programming would be nothing when you have a feather in your cap gem like the 6/29/74 show to replay. Who knows when the opportunity to spin will come around again.

I'll go with 7/10/71 over 7/17/71 & 7/17/76 for next weekend. 7/10/71 last aired in 2015. Premiere featured 7/17/71 in 2016. 7/17/76 was the "A" show in 2017.
I'll go with 7/10/76 for the "B" show.

1976 just played two weeks ago as a "B", so I think it would be 1978 next in line out of the preferred 76-79 shows that are played every four weeks. Since 1970 is now in the mix, that is a possible pairing with 1978.

I bet "Devil's Gun" would have been fitting for a 3rd. Barry Scott Presents the Lost 45 CD if Volume 3 of this series was green lighted.

Hopefully one day all stations will be Supersized but until then, there is the original. WTOJ just starting encore 1977!! cb.streamguys1.com:80/wtoj.aacDoes this mean that in the future Premiere may have to expand the AT40: The 70's shows to 3 and 1/2 hours for original 3 hour 1970-1978 AT40 shows but keep 4 hours for 4 hour AT40 1978-1979 shows?

I think this will be a nightmare for stations that are steadfast in their programming, and strictly block off three hours for AT40 the 70s. Many of the stations will only do three hour shows for the period of 10-7-78 thru December 1979, when shows were four hours. They start with hour two.

I can’t see Premiere regularly supersizing 70s (or 80s, or any other) shows for all affiliates. As I understand it, that was a Ken Martin initiative only for his own station. At least he’s evidently willing and able to replay previously supersized shows (such as this week’s 1977 countdown) even as he steps away from producing new ones for awhile.
