You're Welcome Vic!!

[johnnywest]

Thanks for posting, Cartman! Unfortunately, neither of these shows air where I live, but it's still fun to read about them. :)

[cartman2002]

Thanks, I listen to these shows online at various radio stations that carries these shows

Cheryl Ladd had a top-40 hit??? Song was probably not that good since most likely nobody remembers it, but it does sound like something that might trigger an idea for an AT10 Spotlight.

[cartman2002]

You are absoultely correct since I heard it for the very first time last weekend and it sounded very bad it would have sounded better if the tune had a disco beat to it.

Also, got a trivia question for everyone here.

What TV series did Cheryl Ladd and Casey Kasem both did back in the 70's ?

[StephL]

How many people even knew that Cheryl Ladd was the singing voice for Melody in the series "Josie and the Pussycats"? The perception of her back then was that she was just a model on "Charlie's Angels" because she looked good & was willing to wear revealing clothing on national tv.

[cartman2002]

Drats!!!!, I thought I would stump everyone with the question.

[Vic]

"Think It Over" by Cheryl Ladd wasn't that bad!

Speaking of Josie and the Pussycats, AT40 host Casey Kasem did the voice of Alex Cabot in the cartoon series.

This chart was previously used in the old AT40 Flashback episode during the weekend of September 8-9, 2001 but was 3 hours starting with the episodes 2nd. hour; this was the same September 8-9, 2001 weekend that was the last weekend for then 80's/Hot AC WZZN The Zone 94.7 in Chicago carried Sunday mornings the AT40 Flashback show, the following weekend (a few days after the September 11, 2001 tragic events) the station switched to an alternative format and dropped the AT40 Flashback show for good (even on a weekend when many radio stations did not get the September 15-16, 2001 weekend's radio shows which included AT40, AT20, and even AT40 Flashback due to slow mail and a temporary air traffic ban due to the 9-11 events that many stations still carrying AT40 Flashback did not carry the weekend's AT40 Flashback episode which was from September 1985 featuring Casey Kasem's infamous "Dead Dog" Long Distance Dedication - except that the Rick Dees Weekly Top 40 show did arrive on time to all radio stations since it was mailed first before Casey Kasem's AT40 related radio shows get mailed out).

I knew this was the episode in the 2001-2002 AT40 Flashback series that the radio stations didn't get following September 11, 2001.

[Hervard]

^Not all radio stations (since I remember someone saying on the old R&R Boards that their station did indeed air the show). But Sunny 101.5 definitely didn't get this show. I figured they might re-run the previous week's 1983 show (which was also one week before the Dead Dog show in this series as well - go figure), but they just ran regular programming during that time. But that was the only time that Sunny didn't get the show, so that's cool.

And I bet Sunny 101.5 hasn't missed airing an AT40 The 80's show since it was picked up this past Summer 2007.

[Hervard]

Well, not for the four weeks I've been listening (according to the Program Director there, they have been running the show for several months. Not sure whether they picked up on it with the first show or not).

I hope next weekend AT40 The 70's airs the last 3 hour AT40 show from September 30, 1978 - The week before it switched to an expanded 4 hour format.

[cartman2002]

I really want to hear the first 4 hour show of AT40 but I don't think either one will air in the next two weeks

Hate to repeat myself, but XM 70's played that last week.

[cartman2002]

Do you have a schedule of which shows At40 are airing on XM?
