Interesting that the 11/11/78 show has a story about crazy radio station promotions and the KGB (San Diego) chicken. It was broadcast shortly after the famous WKRP in Cincinnati episode about the Thanksgiving "Turkey Drop" promotion ("As God is my witness, I swore turkeys could fly!")
Casey also noted the efforts of Ted Turner, then a millionaire sports teams owner, to lure the chicken to Atlanta. Ted failed to do that, but otherwise in retrospect he was just getting started....

WQOK just starting the full 4-hour 11/11/78 show. Starting with Gene Cotton's forgotten "Like a Sunday in Salem", a song about the McCarthy era.

Hi,Pete-You're referring to "I Yust Go Nuts At Christmas" by Yogi Yorgesson-Dr.Demento plays that delightful ditty every holiday season.

I was hoping for November. But Premiere is overly emphasizing late 70's shows. This trend undoubtedly will continue in 2025. From January 6 - November 16, 2024, here's the breakdown of all the "A" shows: 1970 - 2 1971 - 4 1972 - 5 1973 - 5 1974 - 5 1975 - 4 1976 - 6 1977 - 4 1978 - 5 + 2nd half of 1978 Top 100 1979 - 5 It doesn't look all that lopsided. Almost every calendar year, every year gets represented 5 to 7 times as an "A" (except for 1970), and as long as "B" shows are available, there isn't any reason to think that should change. It's been like like that for years. |

I was referring to both the "A', "B" and Standalone shows. Many of us tune into the "A" and "B' shows weekly, so that's what I was emphasizing.

It seems that the late 70s are being featured more, which they are because station playlists have moved more towards that time period, thus Premiere has it set up for 1976-1979 to be heard more often than in previous groupings, by expanding 1973-1975 to get "B" shows. I should say, they're more likely to be played, but as johnnywest pointed out, the "A" shows have been mostly balanced. It's because of the current groupings that we hear the late 70s more. |

Kudos to Premiere for saluting Quincy Jones on this weekend's presentation from 11/11/78.

No Quincy Jones tribute for the OPTIONAL EXTRAS? I would have replaced "Ooh Baby Baby" with "Stuff Like That". Stuff Like That was played as an extra replacing Ooh Baby Baby in hour 2 on WSQL. Nice tribute to Q by Larry Morgan. Heard the Quincy Jones "Stuff Like That" tribute OPTIONAL EXTRA via WVLI, of course. |

Hi,Pete-You're referring to "I Yust Go Nuts At Christmas" by Yogi Yorgesson-Dr.Demento plays that delightful ditty every holiday season. And to what Casey said in the original 1973 Christmas show, in which he played the opening part of the record and then said: "You know, it starts out as a song, but then a little later it goes into a comedy monologue, which must have been pretty funny back in 1949 because it hit #5 on the charts. But it really doesn't make it today, so we'll "yust" move on to the next song in the all-time Christmas countdown". Premiere edited that out and the full record in. (They did cut down "Little Altar Boy", from what I'm hearing on WTOJ.) |

In this weekend's show, Casey mentioned the San Diego Chicken (Ted Giannoulas). I believe 2024 marks his 50th year, although I don't think he's made any appearances this year.
