Heads up for anyone planning to rely on Hits 100 Aruba's Tuesday evening rebroadcast of this weekend's "AT40: The 70's" show!... Yesterday (October 18th), I tuned in at 1:10 pm Eastern time and caught the tail end of the #4 song on the October 19th, 1973 show ("Let's Get It On", Marvin Gaye), then all of #3 ("Ramblin' Man", The Allman Brothers Band), then local commercials -- and then the intro to #9 ("Heartbeat - It's A Lovebeat", The DeFranco Family)!!! From there, they played everything perfectly in sequence, including repeating #4 and #3, followed by the third Optional Extra, wrapping up at 1:55 Eastern time, about 13 minutes later than one would expect if the show started exactly at 11 am Eastern... So unless the engineers rectify the problem for the Tuesday evening rebroadcast, there might be a bobble at the beginning of the third hour -- it's possible that #13 through #10 played, then #4 and #3 were accidentally inserted, then it carried on with #9 onward, or perhaps #13 through #10 were skipped entirely, and the hour started with the extra #4 and #3, followed by #9 onward! Tough to tell with the late finish; the show might have started late above and beyond these bobbles! Let the listener beware...  |

We may have lost WOGL as they are now airing the new Scott Shannon show on Saturday mornings. We will have to see if AT40 has a new time or if it airs on the HD2 subchannel tomorrow afternoon

CKDX still lists AT40 the 70s from 4-7 PM on their website, but they're still doing normal programming.

We will have to see if AT40 has a new time or if it airs on the HD2 subchannel tomorrow afternoon You are so unfortunately right. No Sunday sub-channel shows either. What a terrible shame for a station I heretofore really respected.
As if WOGL isn't enough of a blow, WBBT 107.3 FM Richmond VA seems to have followed course, replacing AT 40 with the same new Scott Shannon offering.
And don't forget, the program recently disappeared from KTHI 107.1 FM Boise ID.
Finally, how about the switch in decades from '70's to '80's by KVPI 92.5 FM in Ville Platte/Lafayette LA.
These are "troubling trends" indeed.
E.T.A. No show is playing on KQMA Phillipsburg KS today--what the H-E-Y! Might simply be a time-change issue. This station has always been a consistent & loyal affiliate for AT 40. I'll be very surprised if this is a permanent development!

I posted this one months ago and quite a few others since, but the list isn't being updated and the posts of new station finds and changes from several members go back several pages on both threads now. Doesn't hurt to remind though...especially w/ stations being lost. Bad news about WOGL and WBBT |

I tried KQMA at 4.45pm ET & 5:11pm ET when they air the 80's and it was just back to back hits. Sadly, they may have dropped the show as well |

Thanks for raising our spirits with this latest station find.
It was a rough weekend, with the Halloween goblins and ghouls having their way -- giving us too many "tricks" and not enough "treats".
Cheers to your continued dedication in providing new outlets to catch these classic countdowns!

Does WBBT still run AT 40 The 70s at 10am eastern time Sundays? Listening at 10:15am and it's Scott Shannon. EDIT: Sorry. Just saw the posts above re: WBBT bummer!  EDIT 2: KQMA is running AT40. Great quality stream at 128kbps! Here is the KQMA link I'm using (copy and paste into player, adding http:// before link): 24.225.20.103:8000/stream.m3u |
