I know WTOJ is going all-Christmas on Friday November 3, so we should be starting the Christmas shows that weekend as well. Here is a reference from 2 weeks ago: It will be nice to have just one show starting November 4th (assuming Premiere does the "A" show from a specific year, and "B" show as a Christmas Special.) For me, just finding the right time to listen to two shows is a challenge at times. Wondering if Premiere will keep 1976, 1977 and 1978 as standalone years in January. For the 70s, there's just one week with a stand-alone (of the three weekends remaining) before 2023's Christmas programs begin.

Here is a reference from 2 weeks ago: For the 70s, there's just one week with a stand-alone (of the three weekends remaining) before 2023's Christmas programs begin. That was posted after the 1979 show (for the weekend of October 7-8) was disclosed. So there were three weekends left, during which we got 10/16/76 (the one standalone), 10/26/74 and an as yet undisclosed B, and that finally leaves the weekend of October 28-29 which will have an A from 1970, 71, 72, 75, or 78 (how's that for narrowing things down?)* and a B. For all of November and most of December it's A's from whenever and holiday B's for both decades, until the year end shows start. *We got 10/27/73 last year (though I guess they could play 11/3, since we're getting a show from the start of November that weekend), and we just heard 1974 and 1979 A's. The only year we can rule out for next weekend due to no more standalones is 1977, and they just played 10/29/77 last year (for the first time since 2009).

Here are my guesses for the AT40: The 1980's standalone A shows paired with B shows for the November-December 2023 months:
November 4-5, 2023: November 5, 1983 November 11-12, 2023: November 14, 1981 November 18-19, 2023: November 16, 1985 November 25-26, 2023: November 29, 1980 (Last aired in 2019!) December 2-3, 2023: December 1, 1984 December 9-10, 2023: December 11, 1982 (This is due for another playing.) December 16-17, 2023: December 20, 1986 December 23-24, 2023: December 26, 1987 (Last aired in 2019, of course!)
And for the New Year weekends of December 30-31, 2023 and January 6-7, 2024: The Top 100 of 1983 spread over 2 weeks.
Sometime next week on the AT40: The 70's thread I will make my November-December 2023 AT40: The 70's standalone with Christmas shows guesses.

On the 1982 show Casey answered a listener question about real people mentioned in hit songs and came up with 12 that hit #1. He missed 2 that come immediately to mind, both in the same song: "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey" by Paul and Linda McCartney. Did he revisit the question to add them, whether it was on his own or thanks to a listener? Another song with lead vocals by Paul was about an actual person but was a lot easier to miss because the name was changed in the title-"Hey Jude" was written for Julian Lennon.

I do remember Casey later said someone wrote in and reminded them that Admiral Halsey was a real person.

After all the years this has been on the air, I still don’t know why they can’t show episodes with Charlie Van Dyke and Shadoe Stevens. Being that the shows with Casey have been on rotation for several times now, it could make a lot of sense. Larry Morgan in his intros could say at the end: “With special guest host Charlie Van Dyke” or “With special host Shadoe Stevens”. This way we get new shows and best yet, shows from 9/88 through 12/89. I mean, in the new AT40 with Seacrest, they have guest hosts (usually musicians) many times. Why not with this 80s series?

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.
