WTF? Despite what their website says, WMGN is giving us... August 21st 1976?? I can't remember them ever playing an out-of-sequence rerun before. And it's from the same year they played (in-sequence) last week! I was really looking forward to 1973.  ... UPDATE: after a commercial break, we picked up the 3/3/73 chart at #35! ... UPDATE 2: after another break, we're back to Aug '76 again. Looks like Magic 98 hired a new weekend intern  |

How odd that BOTH "wrong" shows were from August of their respective years. I could understand if they just played the previous week's shows by accident, but they had to go out of their way to insert pieces of old August shows. Weird! |

WMGN aired both 8/21/76 & 8/12/78 the same day in 2018. It would be interesting to see if WMGN incorporates 8/17/85 from 2018 with the February 28, 1987 show tomorrow.
2NUR, which would normally air the '73 show, went with 1987.

I accidentally missed first hr of 4 hour 1979, are there any more stations airing 4 hours 1979? I forgot.. A couple of good bets: WTOJ on Sunday morning at 8:00 Eastern Time. WTOJ almost always runs the "A" show, and when it's a four-hour show from late '78 or '79, they run the full four hours, starting an hour earlier than their normal 9:00 Eastern start time to accommodate the extra hour. WPNC at midnight Eastern Time on the Tuesday/Wednesday overnight. WPNC can be a bit unpredictable in terms of whether they run the "A" show or the "B" show, but they always run the same show in each of the two time slots they run '70s AT40 in, and when it's a four-hour show from late '78 or '79, they always run the full four hours (unlike WTOJ, they start at the normal time and run an hour longer). WPNC ran the 1979 show in the first '70s AT40 airing on Saturday, so it should be 1979 again for the second airing over the Tuesday/Wednesday overnight. |

Didn't "On Bended Knee" by Boyz II Men also have three turns at #1 in late 1994/early 1995? Not in Radio & Records/CT40, where it had one run of six consecutive weeks on top, and I don’t think on the Hot 100. Maybe on the Billboard airplay chart used by Shadoe’s AT40 which of course ended right at that time? Yes, on the Top 40/Mainstream chart that AT40 used, "On Bended Knee" had three turns at #1. |

Last year, WPAC aired the 11/11/78 3-hr version on Saturday & aired the 4-hr version on Sunday. Yesterday, WPAC aired the 3/3/79 3-hr version on Saturday & should start playing 1979 at 4 pm eastern. ice42.securenetsystems.net/WPAC |

Maybe we should contact WMGN Magic 98 about the problem with this weekend's AT40 70's/80's broadcasts - Could this be the downfall of the radio station even with the revamped Magic 98 website or something? |

Not understanding 'downfall of the radio station'--you really think that a goof up on a weekend syndicated program could possibly cause a station to lose it's license? Trust me, it can't and won't. |

Listening to KMXG Mix 96.1 at 10:15 PM and no AT40 The 70's. Did they drop the show?

They probably 'upgraded' their computer system in addition to revamping their website - hence the technical/computer issues. |

We wouldn't mind or be surprised if WMGN Magic 98 played a Larry Morgan voiced AT40: The 70's/80's OPTIONAL EXTRAS instead of WMGN's own related to the AT40 70's/80's year extras if the computer system troubles continue next weekend. |
