Bob Kingsley's Countdown Classics

[skyseth]

Here's the answer from KFYZ to a listener who noticed the shows are still not featured on this weekend's schedule :

" we do not hve any further information to offer at this time; unfortunately the show is suspended until further notice "

Thanks for sharing... it was good while it lasted :-)

At least WSM-AM still has the Country Top 40 every week... this week they're playing 8/16/2014. I expect once 2024 ends they'll go to a different year to run for 2025.

I'll have to check my library, but to my knowledge 2015 is complete, so they could run every show...presuming it'll still air.

Still haven't seen anything about KFYZ. As they say, nothing lasts forever (in this life). Always enjoy and appreciate things while you have them. Same goes for the Premiere series. We don't know how much longer those will air. Could be several more years, could end next year, we just never know.

Although it is not a pure country show, i thought you could be interested since The King appeared several times in the Country charts :

" Oldies RadioZ983 (KFYZ) will salute Elvis Presley with a 6-hour Anniversary Tribute Special, hosted by actor Lance LeGault, starting Friday August 16th at 11am CDT - .Nothing But Old 45's will also feature an Elvis Special, Friday at 6pm and Sunday at 11am CDT."

ACC is back on KFYZ! The Wednesday show is the 1989 Elvis Country special.

Might be one of the first to contain the new theme music and jingles, as this aired between August 11-16, 1989 as a special show. Let's hope Thursday Don Bowman's ACC shows on KFYZ return.

Indeed they have. Now currently playing 8/17/74.

Interesting end to this week's show. They say Merle Haggard is at #1. However, that week's BB issue has Conway & Loretta at the top.

The song at #1 in this week's 1981 show would drop to #26 the following week. 😬 But that's how the country charts were back then.

Meanwhile on WSM-AM CT40 is doing 8/30/2014 today, and unlike the last few years (2012 and 2013) when guest hosts filled in, Bob Kingsley worked in preparation for the Labor Day 2014 weekend this time around.

Yes, Mediabase 24/7 still has that rule where songs that are below #1 and don't have a bullet for three weeks become recurrent (going back to the days where Mediabase data was part of Radio & Records until 2006 when Billboard acquired R&R).
