We have had interest in sharing shows among listeners. To see how popular this interest is, I will start a program called "Listener Depot" where listeners can upload a show for broadcast Mondays at 8am and 8pm. I'll start this February 1st if there is enough interest. You can also upload your created show as long as it fits our format of 80s 90s and 00s. To upload a show visit the Depot on Google Drive I have setup at this link: drive.google.com/drive/folders/1M4kE8zpQrVgVV2Uzy4GQNlkCulzxhjtRYou can also contact me via email now at thexwgxx@gmail.com If you want credit on an intro for the show, then email me and let me know what show you are submitting.

Wow, this is a great response, we already have 4 submissions! I will be downloading, saving and clearing the Depot as often as needed to make sure there remains enough space.

Not sure what Jeff's getting at but I'm not keeping the files in the folder as there is a limit of 15GB. On that thought, appreciate the uploads so far, but I would prefer .mp3 format of at least 160kbps. I'm getting professional .flac files which are a bit large for me to work with easily. I will convert the ones I have already, but again please send .mp3, many thanks!

There's been times I've listened to things I've been sent but I usually air them on the station. If any of the people give any Christmas programming I'd be interested for next year. For the most part my station will mainly play countdown and other shows Jeff Michaels has done.

I do have a semi-Christmas Rick Dees On the Line show from December 1989. There are a few Christmas songs in it. I am about to upload one more show for the pile, a newly restored Dick Clark National Music Survey from 2-11-1984. There will be plenty of 80s shows to play for Listener Depot for a while.

Some observations from today's Listener Depot Weekly Top 40...
This is the first one of these I've heard that still had the original network ads included. All others have either had the ads stripped (such as when Rick had shows available on his website) or were heard as re-airings on one of the few stations playing his old shows. I'm also pretty sure I heard a few vinyl pops along the way.
The Sure Shot, "Love Takes Time", was the highest debut on the Hot 100 that wasn't going straight into AT40. (It debuted at #73, while Janet's "Black Cat" went straight into AT40 at #37.)
Very easy Countdown Challenge segments (both the new one and the one they called a winner for, the latter even before they identified it). Anyone not know what the new Challenge was?
Rick called "Everybody Everybody" the #1 dance hit all over America...but, that must have been a reference to its relative standing among Pop stations at this point, as it clearly wasn't a reference to the Dance chart itself - it spent 3 weeks at #1 there, the last of which was over a month ago by this point.
CLOSE...BUT NO CIGAR: Rick predicted that next week, Cheap Trick would have a Top 10. They stopped right there at #11.
And how about this in the middle of the Top 10? #7 was Bell Biv Devoe, with the follow-up to a hit whose title shared a name with the band at #6 (Poison). Then Prince was #5, and his biggest hit would be sampled for the follow-up to the hit by MC Hammer at #4! (His biggest hit of course being "When Doves Cry", sampled for MC Hammer's next hit "Pray".)

Admittedly, I forgot about this being a thread. Anyways...a bonus of sorts. Call it a "best of both worlds" offering, if you will. As we know, one of the many things Shadoe did in addition to AT40 was that he also served as the announcer during two runs of Hollywood Squares. When John Davidson hosted the show (1986-89), Shadoe would also be a regular square during the game for its later two seasons. Turns out, during its second season, Rick Dees and his wife Julie would also be on for a week's worth of shows. One of those was posted a couple years back... It also happens to be timely since we'll be going to this same time period on the Premiere side soon enough.

I think that is why Shadoe got the AT40 job, his work on the nationally televised Hollywood Squares.

Thanks @snuggles for the show, I enjoyed it very much. Forgot about that Willie? guy that would crash the studio all the time and mess stuff up. Even though it was radio, you could "see" in your mind what you thought was going on. Pretty funny stuff. Rick had a touch that none of the other countdown hosts had, humor.

I also enjoyed the WT40 show from 09/90 last night. It was a show I hadn't ever heard before.

Thanks for the update on that, I think the show is a week behind on the chart being used. It appears to come from this R&R, check the back page: worldradiohistory.com/Archive-RandR/1990s/1991/RR-1991-06-14.pdf

That would put it on the same timeframe/schedule as CT40 - which would make sense if this was also a Westwood One show. Was it? Surprised that AC seemed to take a bit of a chance on The Rembrandts - it may be just me, but their song seems a bit "hot" for the format from an act without a hit track record (which, say, Styx and Rod Stewart both had).

It was refreshing to hear the Dave Koz and Lisa Fischer tracks, something you didn't find on regular top 40 chart.

Lisa Fischer, actually, went to #11 on AT40 (she was also #1 R&B on the 6/29/91 show and about to get there as of the R&R week above on their chart as well).
Something about her voice and the way the song was produced put in mind a sort of vibe that Toni Braxton would continue on with when she started having hits.

Yes I had Lisa Fischer as an extra on the Shadoe show, I really meant Dave Koz was not usual Top 40, but just grouped them together. She sounds a lot like Wendy Moten as well.

Cool show, National Music Survey from 1984. Unusual how Dick Clark had a contest announcement after the #1 song.

I enjoyed Dick Clark National Music Survey 1984 very much. About NO13 NENA :Gabriele Susanne Kerner, better known as Nena, is a German singer and songwriter who rose to international fame in 1983 as the lead vocalist of the band Nena with the Neue Deutsche Welle song "99 Luftballons". In the same year the band re-recorded this song in English as "99 Red Balloons". In 1984, Casey Kasem's radio show American Top 40 introduced a "mixed" version of the song, "splicing" the German and English versions together. It was also a huge hit in many other countries, it is one of the best-known German rock songs in many parts of the world.Nena's re-recording of some of the band's old hit songs as a solo artist, produced by the co-composer of most of them, her former Nena band colleague and keyboard player Uwe Fahrenkrog-Petersen, rekindled her solo career in 2002. Combined with the success of the Nena band years, she has sold over 25 million records, making her one of Germany's most successful music artists. "99 Luftballons"aka 99 Red Balloons song has become established as an anti-war song in Europe. I went to SHIBUYA-town hall october 6th 1984 in tokyo, they played the 99 Luftballons song four times, one by german-version and other one is english-version, partly because they had few songs. and i still like this song so much★.

That was a really great add @deessleaze I thought it was part of the original show as Dick Clark is famous for bloopers. I loved his TV shows with Ed McMahon.

Nothing like hearing Neil Diamond's cover of "Don't Turn Around" to start your Monday morning. Hats off to Ace of Base for finding the right groove on that song.
