AT40 in your area

[Deleted]

What time does AT40 start in your area, also what version?

[Hervard]

In the list of choices, you forgot to include Monday mornings at two. TWO??!!

Actually, I don't know exactly how to vote on this, since I get both versions of AT40. The HAC version is aired on 94.9 The Coast in Benton Harbor, Michigan Sundays at 6am, which would be 5am where I live. The mainstream Pop version is on Chicago's WKSC Sunday at 7am.

No I didn't forget that option, did you notice the one that said "another day?"

We get the "Star 94 AT40" treatment here in Atlanta. Star 94, which airs AT40, is an adult-leaning CHR-Pop station, so they poke holes into the CHR version of the show for songs that don't fit their format, especially rap songs.

It's interesting that they don't put AT40 at a better timeslot during regular weekends (Saturdays, 8 p.m.-midnight), but will promote Ryan Seacrest like crazy during the end of the year. During the past two year-end countdowns, AT40 was played at least twice while Rick Dees' WT40 only gets played once but is in a somewhat better timeslot during regular weekends (Sundays from 8 p.m.-midnight).

Well if you heard the quality of Rick's most recent year-end countdown, I don't know if I would have played it at all!

It was truly a lackluster show without much enough effort. I just wonder if Dees took a vacation for a month, leaving his producer fill-in the holes. By the way, his producer shares Seacrest's studio in L.A.

That it was, seeing as how Rick was hardly in the show, and when he was it was recycled "comedy" bits from previous shows. There were no song mentions, even for number one as far as I know. Without a doubt, Rick did not do a thing for the show and the producers just threw something together.

I thought I read somewhere that Rick was going to be booted out of his office space (which belongs to Premiere) by the end of last year so maybe he was preoccupied with where he will be working rather than how he's been working?!

[BrettVW]

I wondered that myself, because I read that same article. Somehow he was able to continue working in his Premiere studio for 2005, but that was that.

Doesnt he own a ranch or something in North Carolina or something like that? One of the adult directors at our church in Orlando is related to Rick. He is like a 2nd or 3rd cousin or something like that.
