They must be having some kind of glitch involving the iHeartRadio interview/Top 3 songs segments; the 70's shows that come on this time of night usually start between 8:45 and 9:15 PM, but the one on now (5/28/1977) started at 10 to 8 and there haven't been any ads other than the iHeartRadio jingles. So we don't get to hear Carlos Santana talking about Bozo The Clown and Ronald McDonald? Or Bryan Adams trying to say whatever it was he was trying to say? |

So we don't get to hear Carlos Santana talking about Bozo The Clown and Ronald McDonald? Or Bryan Adams trying to say whatever it was he was trying to say? They played a new interview segment earlier in the day on Wednesday with Phil from Def Leppard, which somehow could be the cause of the glitch; that night's 70's show (5/4/1974) started at 8:20 PM and ended at 10:40 PM, followed by dead air. BTW, it's still happening today: they were on #21 of the 5/17/1986 show at 12:35 PM; the next show (8/12/1972) started at 2:08 PM and looks to be ending around 4:30 PM. ETA: It's 9:57 PM and the 8/11/1979 show is ending, so there'll be at least two hours of dead air afterwards. |

Thanks to my speaker crapping out after being supposedly fully charged, I'm listening to this channel. Been listening for an hour and a half now, and I've noticed the optional extras are being skipped. I haven't heard a single one played yet, and I should have heard three of them by now.
So therein may lie the answer of this mystery.

So therein may lie the answer of this mystery. They haven't played the Optional Extras for several years. Last time I saw anything about extras mentioned in here was right after Christmas 2020, but they were in year-end marathon mode. The extras were never played then. But in the early part of 2020, the extras were still being played. I'm just going off of what was posted. Nobody mentioned anything about extras in here all last year, and with iHeart not switching to year-end marathons at times when they typically have done so in the past, leads me to think maybe it happened sometime last year, or possibly in 2020 before the last year-end marathon around the holidays. But I haven't consistently listened to this channel since getting all the original shows in early 2017. Well, no matter what, it's pretty clear this station gets next to no human attention. |

I'm listening to the show that's on now (6/14/1975*) and a Top 3 songs segment came on so it's been fixed; however, instead of playing an interview segment afterwards, they played one of those "history of a band" segments (featuring the Rolling Stones) and then a "soundtrack flashback" segment (featuring Purple Rain) so the interviews could possibly be gone.
*The show that was supposed to be on was 7/18/1970 (chart date) but I guess they felt they had to skip ahead a couple shows after they fixed it.
ETA: The next ad break had an annoying voiced woman talking about stuff on TV "this week" (actually stuff like New Years Rockin' Eve and a iHeartRadio Christmas concert), some guy doing pop culture news, and then the same Rolling Stones segment mentioned above.
ETA (11:11 AM): They're still ahead of schedule; the next show (8/11/1984) started at 11:05 AM when the start time is usually between 11:45 AM and 12:15 PM.
ETA (2:17 PM): They played two interview segments (including a new one with Bob Seger) so they haven't been dropped completely.

Just when you thought everything was back to normal, there's yet another glitch: After 9/6/1986 came on at 11:55 AM and aired without any issues, 1/6/1973 started at 3:22 PM and went from #40 to #36 before going to the ad break. It then comes back on... to #36 of the 1/11/1975 show, which came on before 9/6/1986.
ETA (4:35 PM) - After playing Al Green's Sha La La (Makes Me Happy) at #23, they go back to 1973 with Three Dog Night's Pieces of April at #21.

They just started 8/24/1974.
ETA (9:44 PM): After playing Sweet Home Alabama at #36 and going to break, 1/6/1973 returns with Rocky Mountain High at #35.
ETA (10:37 PM): After playing Hi Hi Hi at #22 and the WMMX Dayton station ID, 8/24/1974 returns in progress with Three Dog Night's Sure As I'm Sitting Here at #23.

ETA (10:37 PM): After playing Hi Hi Hi at #22 and the WMMX Dayton station ID, 8/24/1974 returns in progress with Three Dog Night's Sure As I'm Sitting Here at #23. Earlier today I heard them go from Inner City Blues into an iHeart jingle into Cat's In The Cradle from over three years later. It made me want to holler and throw up both my hands. Or just throw up. |

Sometimes I think they need to refresh the station by taking time off for a month and just play the year-end shows, then come back with a rearranged list with the duplicate shows removed.
ETA (3:30 PM): We go from #36 of the 9/14/1974 show and an ad break to #36 of the 9/1/1973 show.
ETA (4:18 PM): After #24, it's back to 1974 "already in progress" at #22.
ETA (9:33 PM): Went from #35 of the 10/9/1971 show and the ad break to #35 of the 9/14/1974 show.
I'm turning it off before 1971 comes back on, so I'm going to guess it'll come back on around 10:30 PM at either #24 or #23.

The glitching continues today, as 10/10/1970 takes a break to air the parts of the 10/13/1979 show that wasn't played earlier today.

I noticed that the 1979 shows are now played in full instead of starting at the beginning of Hour 2.
EDIT: Wait - I'm not totally sure about that. With all the glitching going on, and the fact that I can no longer access the daily show list, I'm not sure which show is supposed to be playing. It started off with the first two segments of an August, 1979 show, then flipped to one from August, 1978, which was still when they were in three-hour format. The question is, which is the correct show?

It started off with the first two segments of an August 1979 show, then flipped to one from August 1978, which was still when they were in three-hour format. The question is, which is the correct show? The correct show is the 8/25/1979 show; the reason why you thought they now play the 1979 shows in full is because it's one of the shows where they start at #40 but remove the LDD's, #1 Archives and any other in-show extras in order to do so (the two other shows that do this are 10/21/1978 and 3/17/1979). As for the 1978 show (8/18/1978 to be exact), it started around 10:00 AM, switched over to the previous 70's show on the list (8/14/1976), then went back to 1978 until the end when the 80's show started. The parts of 1978 airing now is the one that was skipped over when the show aired earlier today. The parts of 8/25/1979 that were skipped over will be heard when the 10/9/1976 show starts between 9:00 and 9:15 PM. --- ETA (4:36 PM): After Love is in the Air (#24) and the WMMX Dayton station ID, we're back to 8/25/1979 with Hot Summer Nights at #20. |

This glitch is so annoying and frustrating that I've pretty much given up listening to the iHeart AT40 channel altogether (well, that as well as I've heard all the shows on it about umpteen times). I was working on a project on my computer and decided to tune in to have a little background music, but when the show switched over August, 1978, and reading about the glitch, I decided the heck with it. Back to my good ol' YouTube playlists.
(Don't worry, I'm not going to continually rant about this like a certain poster over on the iHeart AT40 MB, LOL)

11/7/1970 just finished and we're now at the top of the list again with 6/7/1986; the 10/21/1972 show should be coming on afterward around 9:00 PM.
(And yes, the glitch is still happening.)
ETA: The 10/21/1972 show is starting now.
