In this week's countdown from 10/19/85,Casey mentioned that MTV executive Les Garland was the announcer on Starship's "We Built This City"-Casey also pointed out that Starship's label,Grunt Records,had sent out special copies of the song to radio stations across the country-The DJ's from each station would simply announce who they were-I seem to recall that WCBS-FM in New York took part-Bruce Morrow aka "Cousin Brucie" was the voice that CBS-FM listeners heard.

There's little to no interest from radio stations to air Shadoe Stevens shows. The only guest hosted shows you're going to get is after they pass away. I'll use a current sports term to explain. Casey Kasem's NIL (Name,Image and Likeness) is worth millions. Shadoe and guest hosts have little to no worth. This is the current way of things. Sorry to break it to you. Not even Premiere planning an "American Top 40: The Shadoe Stevens Years" series with 1988-1995 AT40 shows Shadoe Stevens hosted. Maybe they can acquire the Casey's Top 40 era from 1989-1998, but that would have to mean that Cumulus/Westwood One's rights to the show (if they own it) would have to expire for it to happen. I think it could work for stations that play songs from the 90s on a regular basis (which includes classic hits stations nowadays along with mainstream AC stations).

It seems they resolved the issue in the second hour but the first hour they skipped a bunch of song and cut to commercials during songs. KOLA was one of my go to stations to listen to the Countdown but I think I’m done with that station.

Does Cumulus also own the rights to the 1988-1995 Shadoe Stevens AT40 shows as what I once heard about?

Even the custom version with blank DJ rap replaced by an instrumental part was sent to WBBM B-96 Chicago and used for B-96 DJ's voice rap custom at the time. By the way, here's what the special "We Built This City" version with no Les Garland spoken parts sounds like: www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtM3jjLP7AE

And I hope we get word on what the B show to go with 11/1/1980 is in a day or two. My guess for the B show: 10/31/1987.

Weekend of Nov 4th... 11/5/83!! www.charismusicgroup.com/Cue%20Sheets/1983-1105.pdfLast played 2016 w/extras: "Joanna" - Kool & The Gang "Owner Of A Lonely Heart" - Yes "I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues" - Elt on John"Union Of The Snake" - Duran DuranI wasn't expecting this one at all. My guesses for the following week are either 11/14/1981 or 11/14/1987 (1981 is more likely since we haven't heard that year since August).

Let's hope KOLA doesn't drop AT40: The 80's in 2024! How does a station having technical issues on any given broadcast have any connection to said station dropping the show? And if they did, so what? That would only affect those in the local coverage area who do not listen online. There are a multitude of other streaming choices.

I would not be surprised if "Twist Of Fate" Olivia Newton-John, which is one week away from the countdown, is an optional extra next week.
