The new show isn't up yet on iHeart Radio due to technical difficulties which I'm told weren't finalized until a few hours ago. Hopefully this show will air either Tonight or Tomorrow.

Is that right? "Be Without You" as a non-Optional extra, and so early in the show?

That's what it says in the cue sheet I got.

This would be the first time in...years, that such an old song would be a non-optional. Makes me wonder if there'll be an actual story/reason for it as opposed to just being a time filler.

Sigh...why does it seem like every time I DO have an opportunity to listen on Wednesday afternoon, they have technical problems? The last time this happened, we were stuck listening to the same show for, almost, three straight weeks. I just can't win...

Can anybody let me know if AT40 gets played Tomorrow? I have to go to work.

Hopefully the recent news about Casey Kasem isn't the cause of this delay.

Wed. 9:44 p.m. EDT - Old show ends. Then: Optional extras for the new show played for hours 1, 2 and 3.
9:54 p.m. - Silence
11:50 p.m. - Silence ends. Optional extra for hour 3 of the new show plays.
11:53 p.m. - Old show plays, 40-38.
12:07 a.m. - New show starts at #37.
3:19 a.m. - New show begins again with #40.

Yes, "Be Without You" was played after #39. No story. Just the "AT40 Extra" intro and no outro.

The station's still screwing things up. I'm listening to the broadcast that started at 7pm. They skipped the second segment of the first hour (#37 thru #34). >:( Have other airings been missing segments?

[musiciscool]

Was trying to listen to the show now, and silence again. I'm not sure how long the silence has been going on today.

When Ryan was introducing Kongos, he said they were the first Top 40 band from South Africa in 10 years. He didn't say who the last band was, but I think it was Seether with "Broken." (I think "Rise Above This" was only on the Hot AC AT40.)

[richie]

The 2 breakouts were too close together. Top 20 same as last week with every song on the move
except for the top 3. Ryan again thinks he is moving down the chart, instead of up. He said there
is a barrage of international acts on the chart right now. Also that 2 of the hottest DJ's were
coming up: DJ Snake and Martin Garrix. Justin T. doesn't know if he'll be performing the Michael
Jackson track on tour.
I predict a new trend: songs with whispering. (Problem)
I shall not miss Show Me or John Doe.
