Just tuned in and heard Don Bowman tell a Shelley Winters joke - then the Eagles with "Lyin' Eyes". Great song at #12 on ACC. I never thought of the Eagles as country, but the more I listened, see how it has all the elements. Amazing how you can think of a song differently even after hearing it several thousand times.

Sound is unstable. Need to reboot PC.

This sound issue started with the beginning of the AT40 12-15-73 show. The ACC show that played before had no issues. I'll assume that the sound issue is just this show, not Jeff's computer. I guess we'll find out when the next show starts...

I'll check but its probably the file. Though I've listened to that show, never had any issues.

Did my player hiccup or is the 6-25-74 AT40 missing songs 17 & 16? Edit - they played at the end of the 2nd hour. But there is spots where it sounds like the CD skipped or needed cleaned.

I think you mean the "5"-25-74 show that played this afternoon, and it must have been your player that had a hiccup. My recording has both 17 and 16. The show did have parts where it skipped some (like a stuck needle would back in the day). My recording was 2h 29m... if yours is less, then that would be the missing songs I assume. Hope that helps...

You're right I mean 5-25-74 but it did play them but after hour 2 played through 13 it then played 17 & 16 & then started the last hour. Glad to see the skipping wasn't just me. I've heard worse though like an Australian station that aired a show from a CD that did the station ID that it was recorded from & skipped so much that each hour took about 10 minutes with Ads included.

Anyone know when the current MERC started? Nevermind, Cash Box just started at 12:30.
Here's Saturday:
Cash Box 6-3-67 ACC: 4-10-1976 American Top 40: 6-22-74 Classic AT40 wShadoe Stevens - Mar 16 1991 American Country Countdown: 4-24-76 American Top 40: 7-20-74 Classic AT40 wShadoe Stevens - Mar 19 1994 Cash Box 6-11-83
And ACC: 7-24-1976 will likely start between 11:00 and Midnight EST.

This worked out good for me, I wanted to record the Top 14 of the 2-25-89 show. If it replays all the shows that it played the past 2 days, they'll be at different times than when they originally played, so I may be able to capture a few I missed... :-)

I give up, it's becoming too complicated.

lol... :-) I gotta admit, having a printed copy of the schedule helps me keep track much better... I can write notes about what I want to hear, where we are at on the list, etc... I'm still loving the whole thing :-)

Enjoy the 4th. From listening I've put together the estimated times of the shows. ACC between 2hrs 20min - 2hrs 30min(I'm guessing between 3hrs - 3hrs 10min when the 4hr shows start AT40 is about the same as ACC but both may be around 20 minutes more if they have the national ads with them SSAT40 is around 3hrs 10min - 3hrs 15min but will go up when the shows with more national ads start (after the 89 Book Of Records show I think) CB is more difficult as I've been guessing around 2hrs 15min - 2hrs 30 min for the 3hr shows & 3hrs 20min - 30hrs 30min for the 4hr shows Finally, the MERC shows are around 3hrs 30min - 3hrs 45min those on the longer side are the ones that aired live on WRFZ with the promos I'm also guessing that when the Weekly Top 30 with Mark Elliot starts they will be 2hrs 20 min - 2hrs 30min This does not include if the computer is knocked offline or decides to go back & replay parts of the schedule. I hope this helps you catch shows you want to hear.

That's great information at40fan. I write on my schedule about what time each should start but this is more accurate than my guess-timations. Thanks :-)

There are no 4 hour Cash Box Countdowns shows. The shows from the 1960's run about 2:30 and the shows from the 1970's & 80's run between 2:30 up to 2:50. What I have noticed is that most days about 8 shows run in a given 24 hour period (unless the computer hiccups). Clink on the link below for a look back at Patriotic stamps issued by the Post Office.
