Has the current run of AT40 now had a longer run than the original run?
I could have sworn I read on another thread that the current AT40 (introduced in 1998) could outlast the original run in October this year.

I believe that's true. I put in the dates for the original run (Jul 4 1970 to Jan 28 1995) into a website to get 8975 days. I did the same for the revived AT40 (Mar 28 1998 to Nov 5 2022) and got 8989 days.

From a different thread. It was two weeks ago that they got there: 2022 will see two, technically three, benchmarks: When we hit the week of February 19, Ryan will have surpassed Casey's original 18 year, 1 month run. When we hit the week of April 9, the show's second run will have passed the entirety of the run of the first, as it aired Stateside. (The original first run on U.S. radio - not including exceptions - was July 4, 1970 to July 9, 1994; with the second run beginning March 28, 1998, it hits 24 years on April 2.) October 29 is when the show's second run will pass the entirety of the first run, with the last six months-and-change international included. To be the longest-tenured host altogether, Ryan would have to make it to December 4, 2027. This contract would put him within two years of that - though I see no inkling that this 3-year extension is going to be the last one, which means this thread title is perhaps a bit misleading in that regard. (P.S.: Yes, 2/19/22, 4/9/22, 10/29/22, and 12/4/27 will all be weekend show dates.  ) |

Aside from first show-to-last show stats, is there a tally comparing how many shows Ryan has hosted vs Casey? Surely Casey has a slight lead, given how often Ryan has guest hosts.
