With Halloween coming up and November starting Tuesday, I am bumping this thread as for 2022 some AT40/The 70's and AT40/The 80's stations - mostly iHeart stations like Kool 108 Twin Cities, WXXM Rewind 92.1 Madison, and 3WS Pittsburgh - gear up for all Christmas music.

Yes, some stations will flip to all Xmas starting November 1st. With mid term elections, some stations will delay the flip until after election day, since political ad revenue still pouring into the stations.
WNIC did air the AT10 / AT20 / AT40 Christmas shows last year. However, the will not pay attention on the revised download of the show. Since, it will be only a 3 hour show, instead of the 4 hour AT40 80s show, the final segment of the 3rd hour show will get cut off for a couple of shows. Then, in January 2023 when AT40 the 80s returns on WNIC, the final segment of the 4th hour doesn't get downloaded for about a month. Either the segment doesn't air or the AT40 the 80s show from this weekend, will play the same #2 and #1 songs for about a month. WNIC is not a very reliable station for listening to Casey Kasem.
Since, I usually listen to AT40 the 80s online anyways, it won't affect me. HITS FM from Hillman/Oscoda, Michigan is my AT40 80s Sunday morning station and WFRO from Fremont/Sandusky, Ohio is my AT 40 80s Sunday night station.
I know WHNN in Bay City, Michigan and WLXT in Petoskey / Traverse City will not air Casey's AT40 the 80s from mid November until the end of the year.

That is ONLY good thing about this year's Election Day falling as late as it possibly can in the November 2--November 8 election 'window'. |

IIRC, the later Premiere versions *had* gone in and made corrections and upgrades to some of the versions played on those shows originally.

Mix 96 out of the Quad Cities flips to all holiday on Friday the 4th. They air the 80's show on Sundays at noon eastern time.

Yep, and WNIC went all-Christmas starting November 4 at around 10AM, when Jay Towers 'flipped it', so no AT40 80s on WNIC until January. I do listen to it in my car every Sunday while driving on terrestrial (because it's easier), but looks like I stream starting tomorrow. And thanks for the tips on the other MI stations - I will stream HITS FM or similar! |

However: Kool 108 FM Twin Cities still refuses to play the AT40 Christmas shows when it goes all Christmas music every year.

Perhaps a question best fit for Ken Martin, but which AT10 'Christmas At the Movies' show was the one played last weekend? I'm looking at the Charis site and the cuesheets don't quite line up to any I could find.

I'm looking at the Charis site and the cuesheets don't quite line up to any I could find. Based on the actual shows I have, I believe it was from 11/12/2005. I didn't hear the Premiere broadcast, so I can't say for sure, but it may be that one. |
