WFRO should be airing 6/2/84 at 8 PM Eastern Time tonight. For those that have been listening to WFRO lately, are they still omitting Optional Extras on their Sunday night shows?

I predict 6/20/87 for the weekend of June 22. It last aired as a standalone in 2012.

Does anyone know how many songs with the word "fool(s)" have made the top 40 after 6/13/81? There's at least seven: Why Do Fools Fall In Love - Diana Ross Find Another Fool - Quarterflash What Kind of Fool (Am I) - Rick Springfield Ship of Fools - World Party Nobody's Fool - Cinderella / Kenny Loggins Kissing a Fool - George Michael There was an April Fools Day spotlight on AT10 where they played about 10 “fool” songs and one of them was “Foolish Games.”

Still no word yet on this week's B show to go along with 6/14/1980? I wouldn't mind hearing 6/15/1985 (last played in 2020) or 6/18/1988 (last played in 2020 as a B).

It'll likely be one of those, as we just had 1984 as a B last week and 1983 by itself a week before that, 1987 next week, and 6/14/86 was guest hosted (though they could use 6/21).

With 1988 as the B this week, that means we should get a standalone from that year in July (8/6/88 is out since that was played last year), which would make only three such 1988 shows this year.

I'd like to see and predict 7/23/1988, it hasn't been an A show since 2012 and was last a B in 2017! It would be nice to know what the Premiere stance on the 7/30/88 show is. This was guest hosted by Hall & Oates. Premiere has been known to air guest hosted shows by well known celebrities that are deceased. Hall & Oates check the box on one of those two criteria. What I am curious about is whether Premiere would ever contact Daryl & John to see if they would allow the show to be aired. And if so, then we know that one or both of them declined on that request.

'Allow'? Why would it be up to H&O if Premiere wants to replay the show?
There are probably dozens of reasons why Premiere wouldn't want to run that show (short of one of the duo dying and playing it as a tribute ep), and I'd wager none of them hinge on asking their permission.

dukelightning, after reading the first part of your post, with the way it was worded, made me think one of Hall & Oates had died. Not seeing anything of the sort. And as far as guest-hosted shows go in the original Casey era, that particular show wasn't up to the level all the other shows were. The music was pretty good, and while the guys were satisfactory, IMO, the vibe was very different.

Weekend of 6/22-23.... 6/20/87 www.charismusicgroup.com/Cue%20Sheets/1987-0620.pdfLast played 2017 w/extras: Hour #1: "Rock Steady" - Whispers Hour #2: "Give To Live" - Sammy Hagar Hour #3: "Seven Wonders" - Fleetwood Mac Hour #4: "Can't We Try" - Dan Hill with Vonda Shepard The Hour 4 Extra in 2012 was "Don't Dream It's Over" by Crowded House. The WFMX airing from this last weekend had Los Lobos' "La Bamba" as the Hour 4 Optional Extra. EDIT: Looking back, Crowded House drummer Peter Jones died in May 2012, so "DDIO" was played as a tribute that same year, even though Jones wasn't in the band in 1987. "DDIO" had fallen off the top 40 by 6/20/1987, which made it an odd choice in a couple regards.
