What Happened to AT40 Year-End Part 2?

[StephL]

Checked a couple streaming stations, but they all played last week's show(100-51). Did I just have bad luck, or is this widespread?

[mst3k]

I got screwed just like you... I slept through most of the top 50 yesterday (which WFLZ did play), and hoped to catch it today online on OZ-FM. Lo and behold, they played #100-51. Maybe they're saving the top 50 for New Years Eve or something, but that doesn't help me today. >:(

[Cerebro]

Wow. Didn't realize so many stations may have played the wrong part. I usually listen to the show on OzFM (since it starts at about 10:30 A.M. on the east coast, don't have to get up early). They played last week's half. I managed to catch the tail end (#16 and up) on my local CHR, Kiss 108. I'm a bit bummed I didn't get to hear the whole thing. Anyone manage to record it?

WXKS-FM, Kiss 108 Boston played 50-1 Today...

This is the third time or so OZ has done this for the yearend show! I was quite disappointed too. I'd say they'll play it next weekend though, 99% chance, however, next weekend will probably be the final AT40 with Casey and they'd have to play that too!

Rob! I hope you were able to record the 50-1 show and also next week's too!

[Rob64]

yup i recorded the whole show! i'll send it to you

[StephL]

Looks like lots of us depend on OZ-FM. Does anybody here know if OZ or any other station plan to stream AT40 again before next week? If yes, PLEASE post the info here.

Otherwise, I might take you up on your offer, Rob64. AIM right? I would have to install that thing and figure out how to receive files. If you don't mind me asking, how big is the file and how fast is your connection?

[Rose "Payola" Nylund]

I doubt AT40 will air again until next weekend. More than likely they'll play the second half of the yearend show. The same thing happened last year, I think.

I was hoping that some station would play it on New Years Eve or New Years Day. If I remember correctly, at least one station did that last year.

Guess what, OZ-FM played part 2 this weekend(1/3-1/4). Now I will have to find a different station that broadcasts Casey's last show.

As I suspected. Again, I'll assume that next week they might play his final show or something but I'm not as sure as I was last week when I predicted they'd play part 2 of the yearend show this weekend. I think the station likes Casey (as they'd talk about him on their morning show lots) so I can't see them just cutting off his final show. They might even switch over to one of his AC shows or something. ;)
