Pete B seemed to indicate that this weekend's B show will be Christmas At the Movies, an AT10 first aired in 2005. If so then they're changing up the holiday specials a bit as up until now they've usually played the 70s Christmas AT40s first, as well as possibly starting them a week early (maybe the year end show will be the last two weekends of December?) I doubt that. Since there are slim pickings for early January (since Casey usually took off the weekend after the year-end shows), they usually play the second half of the year-ender the first weekend of January (in this case, January 6, 2024).

How many different times did Casey tell the story? I feel like I've heard it 4-5 times in recent years. Five times on AT40s that Premiere can and does play: 10/30/76. 5/20/78, 11/1/80, 2/2/85, and 1/23/88. Plus at least once more on a 1989 Casey’s Top 40. I don’t know if he did so later. He did. On the 11/16/91 CT40. Al Jarvis died in May 1970. So he sort of passed the baton on to Casey who was born the same year that Al started his ballroom show as a DJ, 1932.

And Al Jarvis was born on July 4, the same day that Casey began his show in 1970 - which also happened to be the year that Jarvis passed away.

But I bet no AT40/CT40 guest host (like Mark Elliott or David Perry or Ed McMann or Charlie Van Dyke for example) sitting in for Casey told the Al Jarvis story.

Ironically, while Al Jarvis pioneered the concept of playing records by the biggest stars on radio, he ultimately wasn't the guy most associated with the "Make Believe Ballroom" concept. Martin Block began hosting a same-named show in New York in 1935, three years after Jarvis, and by 1940 was able to syndicate it nationally so most people became familiar with Block's version.
Among Al Jarvis' later endeavours were "Hollywood On Television", which aired for several hours near-daily in Los Angeles from 1949-53 (Jarvis left in 1951). In addition to pioneering the daytime TV talk show, it launched Betty White's television career.

WVLI Kankakee is now airing AT40: The 80's - November 14, 1981! Finally back on track after a week's screw up playing a June 1985 episode of AT40: The 80's!

For the weekend of November 25 I predict 11/28/87 a show that's aired only once and from a year that was last featured in late September.

Regarding the "Make Believe Ballroom",Martin Block's version was heard for many years on New York's WNEW-AM.

My guess for Thanksgiving weekend: 11/29/1980 (last played in 2019). I think 1987 can wait until December (next month) for another last played in 2019 show - 12/26/1987.

Going back 49 years to the 11/16/74 show, Casey welcomed station KOLA in Riverside, California as a new AT40 affiliate.
