Maybe for the September 7-8, 2024 weekend we might get September 7, 1974? 1975 is due. 9/6/1975 last aired in 2018 as a B show (2016 as the A show). 1975 was last featured as the A show in June. Given that, I'll go with 9/7/74 over 9/13/75 & 9/6/75 for next weekend. The 1974 show last aired in 2017. 9/13/75, which last aired in 2013, should be the show for the weekend of September 14-15 if it is passed over next weekend. I'll go with 9/4/76 for the B show.

This week's countdown from 8/27/77 features a tribute to Elvis Presley-Casey played a live version of "Suspicious Minds". Which Premiere noticeably shortened. But at least it was heard in its original position in the show.

This week's countdown from 8/27/77 features a tribute to Elvis Presley-Casey played a live version of "Suspicious Minds". Undoubtedly, the sudden passing of Elvis Presley in August 1977 necessitated an adjustment to the 8/27/77 show, which was in the early stages of production at the time. And speaking of tributes to ‘recently’ deceased artists, a little more than three years later – with the death of John Lennon – and the AT40 staff rewrote their own program production manual.

BAD NEWS! I just did a check of WVLI Kankakee and Amercian Top 40: The 70's isn't playing in its 3 PM Saturday time slot, it's normal DJ played oldies/classic hits. Hope the station didn't drop the show as well as American Top 40: The 80's!
I just sent an email and message to WVLI about this, if I get an answer, I will post the response.
I might even have to call the radio station on Tuesday (Monday is the Labor Day holiday) about this if I don't get an email response or something like that.
UPDATE: AT40: The 70's started late after 5 PM but starting with hour #2.

Ken Martin: Hope your supersized 8/27/1977 AT40: The 70's show is ready for WTOJ this Sunday morning and includes the 7 minute "Suspicious Minds Live" by Elvis in it.

WTOJ had Supersized Elvis ready to go, twice; in the 2nd hour and again 30 minutes later as the extra (replacing Paul Davis) at the top of the hour.

Meanwhile, I listened to the 1986 show on WTOJ this weekend and it too was supersized in a different way: not due to playing full versions of the songs (I noticed several edits) but due to the commercial load or whatever it ran well over four hours.

Since 1976-79 are featured regularly, 1977 (this past weekend) and 1979 (weekend before last) won't be played this coming weekend, that leaves 1976 or 1978 for 9-7/9-8. Standalones aren't normally two weeks in a row, so thinking 76 or 78 will be paired with an earlier year--maybe 72 or 73?

Standalones aren't normally two weeks in a row, so thinking 76 or 78 will be paired with an earlier year--maybe 72 or 73? 9/8/79 wouldn’t be played anyway because it was guest hosted. They could have done 9/1 (we get 9/1/84 this weekend even though it fit last week’s dates better) If 9/7/74 is the A, then 9/4 or 9/11/76 and 9/9/78 are the likely B options.

Then for the next weekend, September 14-15, 2024, I bet 9/13/1975 will be played as an A with a 1976 or 1978 show as a B show entry.

Rumor has it this weekend's B show to go with 9/7/1974 could be 9/15/1979 and not 1976 or 1978.
