^I'm going to guess that one of the two previous posts is correct...either we get the 12/20/86 show (or even the 12/27/86), or we get the Top 100 of '86 will be the year-ender.
Either way, I will guess that the next 1986 show doesn't wait until the end of December...

Prediction for next week's show: 1st Guess - 11/14/87 2nd Guess - 11/15/86 The '87 show would be a repeat from 2009, the '86 show from 2013. I think we get 1986 before the end of November, but probably not next week. A good chance this is the last 1987 show of 2016 if that's what ends up getting played... You got the right date, but wrong year...also guessing that weekend begins the Christmas offerings based on the selection.

I didn't think we'd hear that year again, especially as we just had it in October. Xmas offerings as the "B" show must start next week as KOLA would never play that year normally. Have they even offered it this year?

So that must mean that 11/14/81 is on deck for next week! Then, we'll probably get 1980 the following week.
Here is how my predictions for the remainder of the year stack up, based on the hints we've been given:
11/12/2016 - 11/14/1981 11/19/2016 - 11/22/1980 11/26/2016 - 11/30/1985 12/03/2016 - 12/04/1982 12/10/2016 - 12/10/1983 12/17/2016 - 12/20/1986 12/24/2016 - 12/28/1985 12/31/2016 - Part 1 of the Top 100 of 1982
The 11/30/1985 show might be really reaching, but I don't know what other shows would fit that weekend. I will assume that we get 1981 next weekend and 1980 the weekend after that, that would blow those two years out of the water. 11/27/82 was done just two years ago, 11/26/83 was done three years ago (so I guess that would be possible), it's a little too soon for 1984, especially since we got those two October shows close together, 11/29/86 was done last year (though they could possibly place 11/22 that weekend), and 11/28/87 was done last year.
1985 seems to be a popular year, since Premiere has overdone it before. A perfect example is:
3/16/13 - 3/16/85 3/23/13 - 3/21/87 3/30/13 - 3/31/84 4/06/13 - 4/04/81 4/13/13 - 4/17/82 4/20/13 - 4/26/86 4/27/13 - 4/27/85 (R) 5/04/13 - 5/07/83 5/11/13 - 5/09/87 5/18/13 - 5/17/80 5/25/13 - 5/25/85 6/01/13 - 6/04/88 6/08/13 - 6/09/84 6/15/13 - 6/12/82 6/22/13 - 6/21/86 6/29/13 - 6/29/85
Four 1985 shows in as many months, with all the other years having one or two airings. Plus, 1985, once in the lead, has fallen into fourth place, with three other years very close behind. So it is indeed possible that they could get both 1985 shows on. AMFMDX may not have meant the 1982 year-ender (if that is indeed what is coming up) as a new show after all. Anyway, those are my predictions for the rest of 2016. I wonder if AMFMDX knows how many new shows we'll be getting in 2017?

According to KOLA, November 14, 1981 will be played next week.
Not sure of the B; maybe the holiday shows start? (KOLA does seem to go light on 1980-81.)

As far as 1987 is concerned, the only possibility from here til 2017 would be 11-21-87. 11/28 aired last year. 12/5 was guest hosted by CVD. 12/12 aired in 2014, and 12/19 aired in 2013. If 11-21-87 does air, I'm hoping for the John Lennon tribute show from 12-13-80 in December .

If what you say is true, then unless 11/21 is played then there will be no 1987 A shows after September of this year, which seems like a pretty long gap. But 12/26/87 was aired in 2008 and 2011, and could be played again.

According to KOLA, November 14, 1981 will be played next week. Not sure of the B; maybe the holiday shows start? (KOLA does seem to go light on 1980-81.) And, do the 3 1960's Archive songs of that 11/14/1981 episode - "Sugar Sugar", "Wedding Bell Blues", and "Suspicious Minds" stay put since the last airing in 2008?

I think 1986 might be, well, 86'd for the rest of the year. As laura mentioned above. Premiere swapped in "You Spin Me Round (Like A Record) as an OE this week ostensibly in memory of Pete Burns . If 1986 was coming up soon they could have honored him by using "Brand New Lover", which debuted on the Hot 100 11/29/86, as an OE instead of YSMR (LAR), which was long gone from the Hot 100 by this week in 1985. 1986 hasn't been an A since Labour Day weekend. Not playing it as such for the rest of the year would make for a four month drought, which is pretty long. Though it's possible that Premiere might hold back on it in anticipation of playing it as the year end show; they've never played the full top 100 of 1986 before. I´m hoping for the 1986 Year-End-Countdown (30th anniversary !). I´ve NEVER heard the first part of this show, but I remember Casey calling this countdown "The Super Bowl of Music".
