Weekend of 9/26... as hinted by Peteski 9/25/76!!! www.charismusicgroup.com/Cue%20Sheets/1976-0925.pdfLast played 2020 w/extras: Hour #1: "Nadia's Theme (The Young & The Restless)" - Barry DeVorzon & Perry Botkin, Jr. Hour #2: Casey answers a question about the first #1 country hit on the pop chart Hour #3: "More Than A Feeling" - Boston Just the 9/25/76 show this weekend. No hint was intended by spotlighting the 9/29/73 program. Although, if you insist, the ‘fall specials’ comment noted Casey’s in-show promos in 1972 (last week) and 1976 (this week). Only one 70s countdown this weekend. Sorry for the confusion. |

Only one 70s countdown this weekend. Sorry for the confusion. My guess for the next 1973 AT40 show to be played in October: October 13, 1973 - Sometime in the first or second weekend of October 2024. |

Optional extras for 9/26/76 will be same as before. I don't remember what the answer to the question for the second one is, but presumably Premiere edited the song in.

I have a feeling we may hear some weather warnings this afternoon/evening (depending on your time zone) on WSQL. The mountains of western NC and SC are expecting to get a LOT of rain thanks to Helene.

Yes mga707 is correct. I am a 5 hour drive from there. By the way. I tried to change my photo to one of a banner for that station. I had taken a picture after a 100 kilometer...62 miles...bike ride that they co-sponsored earlier this year. Photo file was too big. Q102 IIRC.

We've had a good amount of rain the last few days, not even related to the approaching Helene. Strange trajectory is taking it west of the mountains, which doesn't happen that often. This has been the longest stretch of cloudy and rainy weather by far since moving here in 2021.

The mountains of western NC and SC are expecting to get a LOT of rain thanks to Helene. Before the show started tonight WSQL aired some information on the impending situation. If you listen to AT40 in the expected path of the storm you may need to make another plan as these stations will be in information mode (they should be) and maybe even off the air. But of course the weather is way more important than any regular programming. Stay safe out there. |

Over a dozen big disco hits according to Casey. Really though? He mentioned Diana Ross and Ohio Players but neither are on the disco chart. There are 7 hits that ARE on that chart. Neither "A Fifth of Beethoven" nor "Disco Duck" are on that chart either; but for different reasons, I am sure those are part of the over a dozen. Beethoven since it has a disco beat and Duck because in the story Casey says that Rick Dee's was putting together a disco record. But that only gets the number to 9.
One of those 7 songs that is on the disco chart is "Lowdown". My brother in law does not like disco. When we were listening to the 70s channel on the TV, that song came on. When he said he liked it, I said it was a disco song. He was adamant that it was not. I had to tell him that it was nearly put on the SAT. NiGHT FEVER sountrack which is full of disco songs.
It looks like Silver went back to trying to record hits the way they had been after "Wham Bam". Because they got no hits out of that. Should have tried that power pop formula again. That also sounds like Orleans formula which DID net them another such hit a couple years later.

WSQL also aired the official NWS updates at the start of hours 2 and 3, which pre-empted portions of the show. |

And Boz' hit was also on the "Looking for Mr. Goodbar" movie soundtrack. While that disturbing film was definitely NOT a 'disco movie', its soundtrack had a bunch of 1976-77 pop-disco hits on it, most notably "Don't Leave Me This Way". |

I'll go with 10/7/78 over 10/2/71 for next weekend. 10/7/78 last aired in 2020. 10/2/71 last appeared in 2018.
For the B show, I'll go with 10/3/70.
Every year between 1971 and 1979 has been featured as the "A" show at least 4 times this year except 1978.
1978 last appeared as the "A" show in the Spring.

10-7-78 can't be a Standalone Show, since it is a 4 hour show. Hopefully it could be paired with 1973, which hasn't played since July.

A better idea IMO would for each of those two years to be played as an A in October, since they're the two that haven't been aired as such in the longest, since June and July. |
