Prediction for next week's show:
1st Guess - 10/15/83 2nd Guess - 10/19/85
If we get 1983 next weekend, then the '85 show is my guess for the following week. I suppose that 1980 is another possibility, but I'm not banking on another '80 show until November...

How ironic that Casey would mention that the Bee Gees were the top act of the 70s and then play "He's a Liar". Because I think he is a liar when he says that. In my book, Elton John was the top act of the 70s. Of course I don't have any books that I wrote but Joel Whitburn does and he always lists Elt as the #1 artist of the 70s. Carl Carlton is just a week away with his 7 weeks at #2 on the soul chart from tying the record on that chart. He will get that 8th week at #2 and then settle for tying the record which was set by Betty Wright with "Clean Up Woman" for most weeks at #2. So it was not just the pop chart where the records for most weeks at #2 or #1 for that matter, were being tied or broken in this time frame.

Any word on the 1981 extras? kchkwong, you got three of the four OE's correct this week. The other OE is Barry Manilow's "The Old Songs", which is the first hour extra. Then, it's Foreigner, Olivia, and The Go-Go's in that order.

I bet WODC will pick up the new 1981 show next weekend (and possibly 1986 as well), after going with the 70s the past two weekends. But they've only done single shows, so I'm not sure they'd pick up 1986. (WMGN will likely air it, and KOLA has already confirmed.) I'm sure jmack19 will post predictions shortly. WODC opted for 1986, and nothing else.

It increasingly looks like it, though I wouldn't rule out them playing two shows on some weekends at least under special circumstances. As for what they do play, they seem to be skipping between the (later) 1970s and 1980s with no consistent rhyme or reason (such as consistently choosing A or B shows or a particular decade or set of years.) The only clear rule I can think of for WODC now is nothing from before 1976, though they might well continue to reliably play full four hour 1978-79 shows when offered. Maybe trying to space out the years (i.e. not repeating a year only two or three weeks after it was last offered) is a big factor in their choices.

They don't call them Sunday Night Specials for nothing.

It does appear that the station has dropped the Sunday night airing for the time being. WODC has been airing a locally produced program called "Class Reunion", which highlights a year from the past.

I wonder if WWIS didn't get the copy of the 10-10-81 show on time.

This is from KOLA; it's not clear yet if 1983 is being aired as a standalone A, or as a B. Since this would be just four weeks after it was last an A, it might be paired with something else--like 10/18/80, from a year that was last heard in August, or 10/19/85 (1985 was last an A a week before 1983 was.) Incidentally, 10/15/83 is the first of Premiere's AT40 rebroadcasts I ever heard, when it was first played in 2007.
