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. In KOLA's case it would mean that we probably wouldn't be able to find out the 80s shows nearly two weeks in advance. Otherwise not much, as with the help of this board there are a number of options for both the 70s and 80s that can be chosen in whatever time slot is most convenient, as well as those that air B shows, 4 hour shows, optional extras, etc. Though while in this day and age you no longer need a local station playing it to hear it, it's worth noting that I only discovered these AT40 replays 16 years ago when I stumbled on them via WQSR in my car.

I'll go with 10/31/87 over 10/25/86 & 11/3/84 for the B show this weekend. All 3 shows aired 5 years ago. 10/27/84 was the B show last year.

With a 1986 B so soon after the last standalone from that year, 1984 and/or 1987 may be coming soon. (We get 1983 by itself next week, and 1985 last week.)

This week's optional extras:
A: November 1, 1980:
Hour #1: "The Stripper" - David Rose (AT40 Archive extra) Hour #2: "Celebration" - Kool & The Gang (#77) Hour #3: "Breaking Up Is Hard To Do" - Neil Sedaka (AT40 Archive extra) Hour #4: "Hungry Heart" - Bruce Springsteen (NR)
Premiere restores all three original Archives extras, but as seen here two of them are optionals. Bobby Vinton's "Roses Are Red (My Love)" stays in its original place in the show. "Hungry Heart" is another of the "entered the Hot 100 in the top 40 next week" extras, which leaves "Celebration" as the only carryover from the last time this was aired.
B: October 25, 1986:
Hour #1: "Shake You Down" - Gregory Abbott (#63) Hour #2: "Don't Get Me Wrong" - The Pretenders (#51) Hour #3: "Stand By Me" - Ben E. King (#49) Hour #4: "Is This Love" Survivor (#74; highest debut)

Premiere optional extras for 8/22/81 'A' show: Hour #1: "Start Me Up" - The Rolling Stones Hour #2: "Super Freak" - Rick James Hour #3: "Arthur's Theme" - Christopher Cross Hour #4: "Tempted" - Squeeze Extras are same as when last aired in 2014. Premiere optional extras for 8/25/84 'B' show: Hour #1: "I Just Called To Say I Love You" - Stevie Wonder Hour #2: "Flesh For Fantasy" - Billy Idol Hour #3: "There Goes My Baby" - Donna Summer Hour #4: "Lucky Star" - Madonna Extras are same as when last aired in 2019. Has "Crazy Train" by Ozzy ever been an optional extra? It's a 1981 release that is getting a lot of exposure in an Applebee's commercial and also in football stadiums. It's the start of the song that is played in all of these instances. I think I heard it while watching 3 different games last weekend.

This will be the first airing for this show in 11 years (November 3-4, 2012) -- nice to see Premiere finally insert the 60's archive songs for this show. Don't mind seeing the Air Supply extra go away, but I would've preferred "Suddenly" over "Hungry Heart". Just one man's opinion...

Giving this weeks 1980 show a re-listen from 11 years ago, some thoughts....
Last aired in 2012, the 11/1/1980 show 1) didn't have the usual end-of-hour music at the end of Hour 1 and 2) didn't have the usual music fanfare to open Hour 2. Will they return this time around?
Also from the 2012 airing, the end-of-hour 1 tease story (after #32) ended up being about #29. In context of the original show, was that tease ripped from after #31? That would explain the lack of a proper split-logo break between #'s 31 and 30.
Good call on swapping out the Randy Meisner extra, as they were able to leverage it for the 8/16/1980 show Premiere played in August following his death this Summer.
Also, H3S2 has the Al Jarvis story for those who haven't heard it in a while.

Also, H3S2 has the Al Jarvis story for those who haven't heard it in a while. I think the 2012 airing had the same weird edits they did for the 10/17/81 show, where they moved the first song from hour #2 ("Physical" in that case) to the end of hour #1 and omitted the 60's archives along with the end of hour dark disco music, etc. 11/1/80 first aired in 2007 and 2008, so I'm assuming those edits were done for one of those first airings as Premiere was playing around with how to handle the 60's archives because by 2012 they were no longer doing stuff like that.

Also, H3S2 has the Al Jarvis story for those who haven't heard it in a while. We could have heard it twice in the same weekend if Premiere were playing 10/30/76. But that was aired as a standalone just two years ago, and so was unlikely even if we hadn't just had a 1976 standalone two weeks ago. (In 2012 10/30/76 and 11/1/80 were aired in back to back weeks.)

Also, H3S2 has the Al Jarvis story for those who haven't heard it in a while. In the original airing on 11/1/1980 Casey said the following after outcuing the hour-one archives song (The Stripper): "This is American Top 40 in Hollywood, California countin' down the most popular songs in the USA. I'm Casey Kasem. We'll continue in a moment. 31 big hits ta go ta the #1 song in the land." There was no teaser after that archive song for the story told at #29. Casey's teaser that begins "A lot of recording stars have made it as movie stars, but . . ." came right after Casey outcued "Never Be the Same" by Christopher Cross at #31. There was a commercial break between #31 and #30 with split logos. So, yes, what was heard as aired in 2012 by Premiere had been altered, for whatever reason.

Quickly checking UMD there are two things about 10/25/86 (which was the day the Red Sox collapsed in the 10th inning of Game 6 of the World Series ) that are special, one of which I'm not sure I've ever seen before: 1. All four droppers had been Top 10 hits (Walk This Way, Dancing On The Ceiling, Words Get In The Way and Love Zone) 2. There are NO songs that never got out of Hour 1
