Since WXXM Rewind 92.1 FM went all Christmas music as of the afternoon of 11/3/2023, I have noticed Kool 108 FM Twin Cities, Minnesota didn't start its Christmas music sweep yet and played on the morning of 11/4/2023 the AT40: The 80's 11/5/1983 show.

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.) How many different times did Casey tell the story? I feel like I've heard it 4-5 times in recent years. I had a similar feeling listening to the extra "The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald" this week, but unlike another show, this time there was no mention that all three tragedies each took place on a Tuesday.

The Martha Davis "mom by day, rock star by night" story before Suddenly Last Summer was told word-for-word on the 8/31/1985 show when Shame was in the countdown, except two teenagers were mentioned instead of three.

Now WVLI Kankakee after airing 6/9/1973 from a 2018 AT40: The 70's broadcast is airing 6/8/1985 for AT40: The 80's! Maybe they had problems with getting this week's AT40 70's/80's shows!
I hope to call WVLI on Monday and find out why. I even updated the WVLI error thing thread about this as well.

Casey told a story in the 1983 show about Martha Davis of “The Motels” and her (then) teenagers. Sadly, I read that one of her daughters, Maria died of Opioid addiction. Sadly all too common nowadays.

few 1983 notes: David Byrne story on Talking Heads Bryan Adams had a Canadian group 1976, peaked #90 snippet soundtrack, biggest hits album: 3rd place: 1962, 1971 carole king tapestry, Michael Jackson - Thriller (non-soundtrack) in beginning he said 18 foreign acts, but later on he said 17 foreign acts...

I'd actually count 17 1/2 foreign acts, with Paul McCartney's duet with Michael Jackson being half-foreign. But that might have been a confusing way for Casey to word it. It would depend on how one counts it (since Paul was listed as lead and Michael as featured, I'd count it as foreign if you can't use halves.) Other stories included the Latin origin of the word "Delirious", the phenomenon of a total eclipse throughout history, and songs with literary allusions in their titles ("Tender Is the Night", "Suddenly Last Summer"). He also mentioned Def Leppard being on a strict daily allowance while on tour, and anyone who woke up late was fined $1 per minute, in what would be their last week on AT40 for the next four years, and Men At Work saying that they were considered new wave in America and just a good pop band in Australia in what was their final week in the top 40 ever. As an extra, there was the story of the Edmund Fitzgerald and Gordon Lightfoot's song about it, and the eerie pattern of ships being sunk in Lake Superior on the same day (Nov. 11-12) in the past. Casey told this story in November several times, including 1980, 1983, and 1985 (in addition to 1976 when the song was first a hit.) The 1980 and 1985 EF extras incidentially came in weeks just after and before weeks that Premiere has or will play this year.

1985 seems to be the latest example of a year which Premiere went unusually light on in one half of the year and heavily in the other. In the first half of 2023, 1985 was featured only in early February and late May (Memorial Day weekend.) Since then it's been played in July, September, October, and soon November.
1981 they've gone even lighter on in both parts of the year; it was featured in January and March, then not until August, and now again in November (when the only official "B" alternative is a Christmas show.)

Based on characters from the Archie comic books and 1968-1978 Filmation Archies cartoons. I even knew in 1990's-2010's Archie comics had the rights to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Sonic the Hedgehog, and Mega Man comic books.
