If it's treated as a B show KZOY plays it Saturday at 1PM Eastern although it starts 5-10 minutes late & if you just want to hear the Lennon extras don't bother as they don't play extras. The other is KABQ Sunday at 2PM Eastern & they do play extras. Other guesses might be WPNC Saturday at 10AM Eastern & replay at 12AM Eastern Tuesday with extras & while WTOJ is playing Christmas they are playing the regular shows on WATN Sunday at 9PM Eastern because they play 4 hour 70's shows & they air before it. WPNC also plays the 4 hour 70's shows right after the 80's shows & replay them Wednesday at 12AM Eastern.

Forget about WPNC....They are playing the A show..... KZOY is best bet for show next in line.... KABQ for the complete B show

[at40fansince1984]

Another possibility is WHNR "Boss Hogg Radio" Saturday at 4PM Eastern. Since they have the slogan "No Rap & No Crap" they might play it since Run-DMC is in the 86 show.

Now since KZOY are playing the A show instead of the B, i guess i try that

[at40fansince1984]

If that fails there's WXXM Rewind 92 tonight at 9PM Eastern but I think they're playing all Christmas. I got both versions of the show but I want to hear the 4 all John Lennon extras.

No such luck with WXXM. They're not even airing the Casey Christmas shows (unless they're airing at another time).

Maybe most likely on Sunday since the first Xmas ones was in the 70s

[at40fansince1984]

There was one week they did the Top 30 one in their morning spot they just aired it an hour later since it was 3 hours instead of 4.

For those hoping to hear the 1974 show on WPAC's on demand stream don't bother I guess they forgot it was 4 hours & started at the usual 7AM Eastern time played #100-#97 did ads I guessed realized it was wrong & it was #82 when it came back & then they played the rest.

KOKZ in Iowa oughta play the full four hour part 2 of 1974. I usually rely on them to play complete four hour 1978-79 AT40s, and they did the first half of the 1974 show yesterday. (Note to all: AT40 from 1974-77 split their year end shows over two weekends each with a four hour presentation, while their regular shows were still three hours.)

[at40fansince1984]

WTOJ is also playing both parts of 1974 next Sunday from 8 or 9AM Eastern & (I think) replay it after. This week they played all of 1984 twice Saturday at 11AM Eastern & The Top 80 Of 1971 twice Sunday at 9AM Eastern

[at40fansince1984]

This Tuesday & Thursday WPNC is airing Casey marathons it will be 80's on Tuesday & 70's on Thursday. I'm not sure of the chedule.

[jdelachjr2002]

Just letting you know next Monday I'll be back to making two-part posts for the weekend AT40 preview with a surprise "A" designation for the '70s pair.

[jdelachjr2002]

Alright, for the first regular Classic AT40 countdowns of 2021, there are TWO '70s shows and TWO '80s shows so I will be making a two-part post for the weekend preview. Usually in most cases I start with the '70s first, then '80s but since I teased a '70s surprise last week, I will start with the two '80s shows first then the '70s.

The "A" show this week is from 1/19/1980 which has aired three times. Here is an edited repost from 2010:

I'll preview this weekend's '70s shows coming up.

[jdelachjr2002]

Now to conclude the weekend preview with this week's two '70s shows.

The "A" show for this week is from 1/4/1975! That's right, 1975 is an "A" show for the first time in the eight-and-a-half years AT40 has had "A/B" designations for both '70s and '80s shows. Up to now, the only featured years that required alternate shows were 1970, 1971, 1972 and four-hour 1978 and 1979. Now it looks like 1973, 1974 and 1975 now need alternate shows with probably 1976, 1977 and three-hour 1978 still being singletons. FYI, next week will feature 1976 and I can confirm that it is a singleton show so any singleton preview posts I make will definitely be rare in 2021. Stay tuned for further developments from Premiere.

Anyway, 1/4/1975 aired only once and that was in 2010. Here is an edited repost:
