When did the iHeartRadio Classic AT40 channel stop playing the OPTIONAL EXTRA segments that were part of the AT40 70's/80's show rotations? Well, that had to be a really-recent decision! They'd been very consistent with extras, but then this annoying habit of cutting short one show around the top of an hour to start the next one, could've led to that! They're getting rather 'seat of the pants' with that channel, if y'ask me... dL

When is the Memorial Day weekend Top 100 marathon due to begin next weekend? I want to catch the Top 100 of 1985 and want to make sure I don't miss any of it.

When is the Memorial Day weekend Top 100 marathon due to begin next weekend? I want to catch the Top 100 of 1985 and want to make sure I don't miss any of it. Last year it started on the Thursday before Memorial Day; unsure of the exact time. I would imagine 1985 will air sometime on Saturday or Sunday. If I happen to be around here when 1984 is on, I'll give you a heads-up. Most weekends I am super busy so my ability of getting on here is very limited. I'm sure several others will post in here what year is currently playing.

They're getting rather 'seat of the pants' with that channel, if y'ask me... dL Why rather "seat of the pants"? While I understand they can better keep track of how many are listening at what times through the data returned by the various forms of IHR, there's no real ways to find out if there's more-specific feedback from users about little things like if or when extras are played, or how they react to a sudden ending of one show in favor of another. Not using anything other than the website when I do listen to it, I admit it's all guesswork on my part... dL

Right now they're at #22 of the The Top 50 of 1984.
ETA: I'm going through the comments and where a person posts what each day's show schedule is, all the year-end shows scheduled in the last couple of days have been the Top 50 versions of the 1980, 1984, 1985, 1986 and 1987 year-enders. I hope this and the lack of '70s shows aren't signs that they're no longer going to air the full Top 100; I guess we'll find out soon.

At 6:30am EDT today, the channel finished 4/25/81 and flipped to 1/31/76. Maybe they will start the Top 100 countdowns later today?

Hopefully - looking back through this thread, the year-end marathon began on the Thursday before Memorial Day in 2016 also. With the changes to the station in recent weeks and months, I have no idea what they have up their sleeve. ETA: Looking at the comments/chat thread, the playlist posted for today doesn't include any full year-enders. The top 50 of 1983, followed by the top 50 of 1981 are on the list for today. Otherwise, more weekly shows, mostly from the 80s.

There was a year end countdown for 1981 just completed, but now the iHeartRadio Classic AT40 channel is playing the regular AT40 episode of 6/30/1984 this Friday afternoon.

For those of you that want to catch 1972 because Premiere hasn't aired it yet, you've got a few hours before it starts.

Did you know that if you have ad blocker software that the comments section on the iHeart Radio/Casey Kasem page is blocked? I just found out why I haven't been able to view the posted schedules as everyone else... today, I am using a computer which doesn't have ad blocker, and voila, the schedules and other comments can be seen. Speaking of the comments on that page... wow, Giovanni Tomaro is not one to hold back on explaining his displeasure for the iHeart Radio/Casey Kasem channel... especially his dislike for the year-end countdowns! Plus, I am spending this weekend about 20 miles from his home in Brecksville, Ohio... I hope I don't bump into him at Target, Lowe's or South Park Mall this weekend !
