Either that's the A show or the B show. I'm guessing the A, as almost every other year has been an A since 1982 last was, in late August. The one exception is 1980, which could also conceivably be next week's A, in which case KOLA would probably opt for 1982 as the B. 10/18/80 was last aired in 2011 and 10/25/80 in 2013 (same year as when 10/23/82 was last played), so either is plausible. (However, to date Premiere has never paired 1980 and 1982 as A and B.)

Prediction for next week's show: 1st Guess - 10/19/85 2nd Guess - 10/25/86 Next two weeks are going to be dicey as far as guesses go...I would have had 10/27/84 as a lock for the last weekend in October if '84 hadn't already been played this month. So, we'll go with an 1985 show that hasn't been aired since 2009. The '86 show hasn't aired since 2011, and I can't come up with another great option for 1986 until December... 10/25/86 re-aired last year as a B show.

Yes it did--didn't look very carefully at my list of shows when I posted this...

Fun fact: the version of "Major Tom (Coming Home)" being played as an optional extra in the 10/15/83 show is in German.

Either that's the A show or the B show. In the past I think November has been the cutoff for 1982 stand alone shows. Since this is so close to that, I won't be shocked if it is the only option. I think that cutoff you're speaking of is due to the holiday season and the offering of Christmas specials in November and December...

I think that cutoff you're speaking of is due to the holiday season and the offering of Christmas specials in November and December... I think you're right. To my knowledge, the only 80s shows now offered as standalones without holiday specials as alternates (which are at least a few weeks away) are from calendar years 1983 and 1984. Though October 1982 is IMO enough in the musical heart of the decade that it shouldn't need a B option (same goes for 1985 and 86, as I've said many times). If it's the A next week, then the B would likely be from 1984 or 1985; if they deviate from the calendar a bit then 10/17/87 would also serve that purpose (10/24 was guest hosted.)

We're only in the second year of "B" shows, and since the start of 2015, outside of Christmas offerings, 1982 has never been a standalone (though I would agree that at this point in 1982, it could easily be offered as such).
My guess is 10/17/1987 would be the "B" show, and 1987 was just aired four weekends prior, so some stations may opt for 1982. (Though I'm wondering if Premiere would offer the same show as a "B" two years in a row - so far I don't think they have.) They've offered "B" shows this year after airing them as new "A" shows last year (4/9/1983 being an example). It's possible 10/19/1985 could also be paired with 10/23/1982, though 1985 last aired six weeks prior.

KOKZ is killing me today with the choppy stream! While, surprisingly, WWIS, about whom I've often complained in regard to their 'choppy' stream, was nice and steady yesterday!
