CFQM Moncton just started 1981. I may have to switch to this station for Fridays.. The sound quality of this stream is amazing.

I was also pretty disappointed when WWIS played the wrong show this afternoon, and I am listening to CFQM this evening. But I will be back with WWIS next week because while CFQM plays extra's each hour, they aren't the Premiere songs, they are "Canadian" extra's.

HERE ARE MY OPTIONAL EXTRA PREDICTIONS (if needed) for the 10/15/1983 AT40: The 80's EPISODE: 1) "Crumblin' Down" - John Cougar Mellencamp 2) "P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)" - Michael Jackson 3) "Just Got Lucky" - JoBoxers 4) "On The Dark Side" - John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band a/k/a Eddie and the Cruisers (a curveball pick of a song that only got to #64 that 1983 year, but a year later was reissued and made it to the Top 40 reaches and making it to the top 10!)

Listening to 10-10-81 on KKLZ. I just heard "General Hospi-tale" by The Afternoon Delights. It sounded like a really poor man's version of Blondie's "Rapture". 1981 had its fair share of stinkers, but that one has got to be in the top 3 for me for "Stinker Singles Of 1981" How that that song peaked higher than BOC's "Burnin' For You" is beyond me !

Predicted extras:
* "Crumblin' Down" -- John Cougar Mellencamp. At No. 42, surprisingly NOT the highest Hot 100 debut this week. (That'd be "Say, Say, Say" by Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson, which we hear this week.) * "Break My Stride" -- Matthew Wilder. * "Major Tom (Coming Home)" -- Peter Schilling. Outtake from David Bowie's "Space Odyssey."
Curveball pick time ... although Alabama ("Lady Down on Love") and Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson (covering the Eagles' "Take It to the Limit") were admittedly possibilities, I'll go for one that peaked at No. 102 and never made it past the Bubbling Under phase, but now is a classic hits radio staple:
* "Dancing With Myself" -- Billy Idol. This being a punk rock song that I always thought -- paired with "White Wedding" -- was part of his demonic rock phase. But it is one of his best-known songs and that accounts for a lot. (And incidentally, Waylon and Willie would peak a week or so later at 102 with "Take It to the Limit.")

Three words: Luke and Laura! You may be too young to remember, but "GH" was truly a pop culture phenomenon in 1981. Sure helped Rick Springfield's career as well! But I agree that the song is really just a third-rate "Rapture" rip-off.

If someone could find my post from early 2016 it actually tells you what we're doing with AT40 at WODC. I haven't learned how to go back and copy and paste a previous post and then apply a comment. But the post generally said that if AT40 becomes a one-show the choices would be pretty much what they are now in the a.m. I am hosting a new Sunday night show called "Sunday Night Class Reunion"----highlighting certain years. So far there's been 1986, a multi-year reunion (1990, 1991, 1992 to pay homage to our iHeartRadio Music Festival artists with hits during those years), 1976 and Sunday night (10/9/16) it's 2006. Next week 1996. Another 70s coming, too. The beauty, of course, is playing some of the songs you would normally hear only on AT40. We'll see if it catches on. I'm the creator, producer and co-host, so AT40 can still be slotted in at some future point in the Sunday p.m. Looks like the next specials won't be until December 2016, January, May, July and September 2017. Assuming Christmas is done like any other year on WODC, the "Reunion" show will go on hiatus until January. But AT40 stays through Christmas as usual and returns after Christmas with the holiday specials, then the regular shows. We'll see what formulates in the near future. What's for sure is we remain committed to Classic AT40 every Sunday morning like we have been since April 3, 2011! And who knows what "extras" await at WODC!

What's for sure is we remain committed to Classic AT40 every Sunday morning like we have been since April 3, 2011! And who knows what "extras" await at WODC! Thanks, lasvegaskid and SFGuy: I have mapped out a plan for the shows, provided that AT40 will be both a day and night show going forward, which I think might be the case. With that, ALL of the 4-hour 70s offered will play, day or night. There are usually around 6 of those a year. I would like them at night to keep the Sunday night presentations at 4 hours to be consistent. There could be a 4-hour 70s in the a.m. paired with a late-80s in the p.m. and vice-versa, or a handful of 3-hour 70s in the p.m. The desired spacing for each time slot would be a 10-to-12-week span between the same years, and the same for p.m. You could, however get a 1985 in mid-Feb for an a.m. and a 1985 again in the p.m. in mid-March, and that's OK. Just good spacing between years in the same time slot is the plan. Plan B: If AT40 becomes a one-time-on-Sundays show, still all the 4-hour 70s will be selected, and the best possible 70s and 80s variety will air throughout the year. AT40 EXTRAS: The local spot breaks are no longer time-limited to accommodate the national spot load on AT40, so our regular spot loads air, meaning the show, with all extras, would run about 15-17 minutes after NOON. Programming management has demonstrated they don't like that, so extras have been lopped off as of late. Expect NO EXTRAS for the a.m. airings until the show is actually allotted that a.m. time-slot again officially. As I have said before, there is no problem running late at night, which is why I have scheduled the show to (officially) end at 11P, so that the national spots will never run after midnight. That's the reason for a 7P start for 4-hour shows and an 8P start for 3-hour shows. So ALL EXTRAS will air as usual for the p.m. shows. Something interesting for this week. The extras on both shows actually show up on our playlist close to the shows, so if you listen one hour before and for a few minutes afterward, you will have heard them. You still get the song extras, just not from the show itself. That happens on the night show, too. But to keep the show extras on I was able to delete the songs from our playlist. Easy to do on a Sunday night, but not in the early afternoon. A very funny situation was Quarterflash on the countdown at #4, then scheduled as the first song after AT40 ends on our regular playlist. I had to jettison that one! This might happen a lot, but you would never know, of course. AT4080s is so aligned with our playlist that it is a constant danger to have charted songs come up again in short order on the station. So for now enjoy two shows on Sundays! Based on some "predictions" posts here, which usually are correct, I see a 70s/80s combo coming as early as next week.
