I like the hot ac-only extras.

[upland1425]

Yes, I like them, too.
For the CHR shows, the AT40 team may probably have a strong pressures from the affiliate stations, especially All-Hits format stations, not to play gold songs but only current and recurrent hits.
For the HAC shows, they may have more flexibility in selecting extras since their affiliate station frequently plays gold songs in their regular programs.
In any event, I would like to listen to more good songs of more than 5 years ago as extras.
