Once again we get a weekend where two AT40 70s shows are offered and once again, WJER lists the date of the primary show on their website (4/15/1972) while actually playing the secondary show (4/19/1975).
I sent them an e-mail about the error as well as telling them what they did a month ago (they played the 3/18/1972 show despite having 3/17/1979 listed on their website), but I have a feeling they'll do it again the next time two shows are offered (and I'll keep sending e-mails until they get the hint).

If anybody recorded WJER, I could have SWORN they skipped 18-14, and they are down to the top 2 as of right now which seems early.

I'm listening to them live and didn't hear the songs in those places, though the second extra (Sister Golden Hair) was played.

They started it at 9:00 PM last night. After the Indians game too (though you couldn't hear it online as WJER ran regular music in place).

I finally got a response from WJER:
I take it the "We are currently working with American Top 40 to resolve this issue" part means that they're being sent a different show than the one they mention on their site; I guess I'll see what happens this weekend.

"Working with American Top 40 to resolve this issue"... Is that in reference to a missing segment or the wrong show being listed? Sounds like they're afraid/unwilling to admit their own screw-up (at the very least, downplaying any responsibility on their end), and trying to 'punt' the issue back at Premiere. From talking to my own local affiliate, it doesn't take much to do a spot-check on which show you've downloaded, to then either transcribe the contents onto your website or simply pay attention to which date of the show it was you just downloaded. How far ahead of time do they say which show they're playing?

It's likely about the wrong show being listed since I didn't mention the skipped segment (I wrote the e-mail right after the show started).
As to when they mention what show they're going to play, they post the info on Wednesdays (I just checked and it says they're going to play April 21st, 1979).

For the first time since October, WJER is playing the date listed on the site (4/21/1979), but they started with #32 when I was told a couple months back that they do play the four-hour shows in their entirety.
Time to send another e-mail.
