Well this was nice. And Shadoe will be very welcome next Wednesday. Tuesday's AT40 with Casey I will have to miss, however, as I'll be a poll worker for Election Day, and that's a 6 AM - 9 PM job at a minimum. Oh well... MERC will be from 11/11/89 as Jeff ran a 70s show in syndication this week.

What's the plan for extras for those shows?
Both, of course, have (if available) America's Top Hits packaged with them, while Casey Lite (as it were) will also have the "optional" extras from 2005-2009.

Yes America's Top Hits and the usual extras will be part of most of these shows. Sometimes ATH is featured on both.

It appears MERC did not run as scheduled at 4am Eastern due to a scheduling automation error. I think I have corrected and it should run at 4pm as scheduled.

I woke up to find that MERC did not run at 4am Eastern due to an automation error. The program I'm using, while quite neat in many ways allows more than one event to be scheduled at the same time. In this case Music and MERC. Strange!
Sorry! Automation in radio should be banned lol. It should run correctly at 4pm and I will run it at 4am and 4pm tomorrow before Shadoe.

I'm not home now but aware AT40 did not run. Hopefully I can get it all running correctly for the evening airings. The growing pains of a new station!

Hmmmm. Seems like there's some kind of Tuesday-specific error there. Either it doesn't seem to like MERC when that's scheduled in advance for whatever reason, or there's something else pertaining to how Tuesdays are set up.
I know nothing about actually using automation programs, but the exact same problem two Tuesdays in a row raises the possibility of not-coincidence.

Thanks for the thoughts, Mike! I may have to clear out all my schedules this week and build them from scratch. Thankfully not as hard as it sounds.

Do these fall into place by automation time-check or are they manually scheduled for start time? "Don't Stop Believin' " managed to sneak in here before Shadoe - the station time reads 1:59:51, just 9 seconds before the hour! I'm guessing if the time was 2:00:00 or any later that it would not have got in. More quirks of automation, at work...

Yes that is automation for you. I have a flag that gives the top of the hour 2 minutes leeway, but it never cuts a song off. There is a slight lag between station time and the time it goes out "over the air". Also, for some reason the times played are GMT not EST. haven't figured that out yet.

The Tuesday AM curse continues as MERC is not running, I will check later to see if Casey is going to run this morning however like last week the PM airing will prevail. Good Morning!

Well said, I feel the same way. Want things to run when they are supposed to. I even rebuilt all my automation schedules. The silence was automation turning off by itself. I have scheduled MERC after Casey (which I hope runs, as I have to leave before 8). I will be at the studio monitoring tonight's run. MERC is showing on the log for 11:47am EST start

The curse continues ... No MERC... I will check again this PM ...and thank you for bringing Casey and Shadow back (sure beats all the repeats that Rick Dees does with his Weekly Top 40 retro shows).

I wish I use the same software that you do so I could figure out or help figure out what was happening. I have thought about downloading that software for wbme, but now I'm not so sure LOL.

Thank you for the good comments on the shows (when they do run correctly). I think the software just does not like Jeff Michaels and his show lol...The software does have a lot of potential and I am positive I will figure it all out soon. Only been on the air two weeks now and already learned a lot. Things are getting better day by day. How was WBME when it first went on the air? Probably better I'm sure I will start MERC manually soon after 4pm EST if the program does not start it like it should. MERC will get run today somehow!

Out of curiosity, are guest-hosted shows on the table, or not till later (at least)?
Only reason being, for Casey 2.0, we have three years left to get their first turn, and all three have guest-hosted shows in early December. (Technically, all except 1999 do - 1999's is instead Thanksgiving weekend.) If that doesn't matter, then those could fall any which way. But if those are being held off, then I'm thinking I can guess which of the three is least likely to go next.

May be off a week or a special may run

In that case I think I can guess the order of the remaining three.
