I guess the first 1979 AT40: The 70's show for this 2020 year might be on Leap Year weekend. I wonder - even with we get any of the 4 unaired by Premiere 1979 AT40: The 70's entries this 2020 year - if the first ever AT40 show from July 4, 1970 will be played in July 2020 to tie in with the 50th. anniversary of AT40 around the fourth of July weekend (Maybe a bonus AT40 50th. Anniversary special hosted by Ryan Seacrest and appearances by Shadoe Stevens and the surviving members of the Casey Kasem family - Jean, Mike, and Kerri - as well that same weekend?) I somehow doubt it, unless it's March 3, last played in 2016. As @matt pointed out, 1979 shows don't generally get aired just three years after the previous spin (though four years isn't that long a time either). I just hope they get a 1979 show on soon, so it won't be too soon for the second 1979 show of this year to be the yet-unaired April 14 show - if that show is even on the schedule for this year. |

I don't think most of us want to hear anything from Jean Kasem at this point considering all that's happened since 2013. Mike and Kerri, yes. In any case the AT40 debut hasn't been offered as a regular option since 2010--the 40th anniversary of it--so it would be a logical choice. |

Seeing as this year is the Golden Anniversary of the first show, I can't see them not choosing it - especially, since they'd pair it with a later-70s show, for stations that deem it too old (but given that this is such a special anniversary, they should make the exception).

Premiere will more than likely air the very first show over the Fourth Of July weekend-A 50th anniversary celebration wouldn't be out pf the question either-It'd be great to hear Mike & Kerri Kasem discuss their father's legacy.

I wonder if the AT40 50th. Anniversary special could also invite surviving AT40 guest hosts of the past? I know Mark Elliott, Charlie Van Dyke, David Perry, Ed McCann, Joe Ciperao, Adrienne Walker, Bob Eubanks, Wink Martindale, Martha Quinn, Jack Wagner, Keri Tombazian, and Bumper Morgan may be still alive. Even music stars who guest hosted AT40 - Daryl Hall and John Oates, Debbie Gibson, Donny Osmond, Matt and G. Nelson, Richard Marx, and Jody Watley - might give happy 50th. to AT40 wishes. |

On the countdown from 2/18/78,Casey mentioned that Art Garfunkel,James Taylor,& Paul Simon marked the second time that three singers teamed up to perform one song after Paul Anka,George Hamilton IV & Johnny Nash reached the top forty twenty years earlier with "The Teen Commandments"-It happened for a third & final time in the fall of 1984 when Kenny Rogers,Kim Carnes,& the late James Ingram got together to sing "What About Me".

Not exactly so-In late 1993, Sting, Rod Stewart, and Bryan Adams hit #1 with "All For Love". |

And 10 years later, Nelly, P Diddy, and Murphy Lee hit #1with “Shake Ya Tailfeather.” Jessie J, Nicki Minaj & Ariana Gramde hit #1 with “Bang Bang” and last year Ariana Grande, Lana Del Rey and Miley Cyrus had a hit with “Don’t Call Me Angel.” |

Ken, Still starting Sunday at 9 am ET? How many minutes over 3 hours does the show run? Thanks. The supersized first hour ran right at one hour, compared to 56:50 for KOKZ yesterday. Granted some of the difference might be commercial load. The Supersized countdown is a WTOJ exclusive unless another station did it on their own. The show should run about 25 minutes long. And BTW, since I left the Stevie Wonder extra in the countdown where it normally appeared, there will be no extra in the 3rd hour. |

It's a SUPERSIZED Countdown! This weekend WTOJ / Magic 103.1 will air the February 18, 1978 countdown WITHOUT ANY SONG EDITS. By 1978, AT40 was regularly editing songs to make them fit inside a 3 hour show. Sunday morning at 9, you can hear the WHOLE countdown without any song edits. Ken, Still starting Sunday at 9 am ET? How many minutes over 3 hours does the show run? Thanks. About 25 minutes long |

A special like this would make more sense as a 1 or 2 hour special for the AT40 70s and 80s affiliates, similar to what was offered after Casey passed away. Nothing like this would be at all appealing or relevant for modern day AT40, but a potential special like this, while incredibly unlikely, would make more sense for stations still airing Casey. |

I second this, although I would love to hear it, there is NO way in Hades the current AT40 would have this much TALKING in a show, with the short attention span listeners have today. Heck, half the countdown now is no-nuttin' gimmicks. I can only hope maybe Shadoe, who's still with us, gets a shout out and a liner message. I do like the idea of a separate special sent to 70s and 80s affiliates only though. |
