I'll take Simpsons Butterfinger & Greyhound ads over the Trojan condom, AOL Instant Messenger & for the series The L Word ads that were aired twice each break in the 2000's one last week anytime. Not to mention it's all dance music unlike the 2000's having Kelly Clarkson, Avril Levine, Maroon 5 etc. upsetting the jams.
I didn't know the station was featuring syndicated Hot Mixes as it's been a while since I last tuned in. Used to hear these types of mixes on B96 Chicago during my youth (usually during lunch hours or the 5pm hour) although at the time I didn't know these were syndicated mixes and always figured that a local DJ was mixing live.
In addition to the Mainstream mixes, there were other Hot Mix styles, such as the Crossover (Hip Hop/R&B), Hot AC, Modern (Alternative), and even Country. There were also Retromixes, ranging from Mainstream (70s/80s/Disco/Pop), Old Skool (70s/80s/R&B/Funk), Resurrection (70s/80s/New Wave/Alternative), and older Hot/AC or the 70s/80s.
There's a few more Hot Mixes on MixCloud, though I only could find 3 links to full shows. Hot Mixes on MixCloud.txt (4.8 KB)
jstread: well It would be great to listen to Downtown Julie Brown and American Dance Traxx again. Anyways thank you for your work. You are the best!

adam31: Amazing how Shadoe spoke of a hurricane also (Andrew)! History repeats itself.

caseyfan1969: Here's hoping that the Thursday 2007 is from the 20th (since the show from the 13th was aired in 2001)

at40fansince1984: think I'd rather hear Blast From The 70's instead of Blast From The Millenium. He also needs another word for songs but brilliant especially when some he plays are far from it.

caseyfan1969: oh, darn, then i guess i missed that 10/20 show.

adam31: My records show that it was scheduled in 2022 but not played.

at40fansince1984: In 1995 CT40 was only half-erect on Trojans but by 1997-they were full hard-on but when they had Rupaul do a ad didn't that make REAL men go to another brand?

at40fansince1984: Anyone else listen to shows & airchecks on archive.org & wondering what's up. They were hacked & had information stolen & are offline & have been for almost a week.

roadrunner: I realized that Walt Bailey´s oldradioshows side wasn´t working the past days. But now it works fine again

at40fansince1984: A shame LL Cool J fell out on 10/10/87. 10/3/87 was the classic of Casey saying a list of R-A-P slang that he did updates on 3 more times once on AT40 in 88 & twice on CT40 in 1989 & 1990.

adam31: You can get your fill of Casey saying R-A-P artists names today!

at40fansince1984: Here's the 3 Doctor titles NOT played in the medley. Theme From Dr. Kildare (Three Stars Will Shine Tonight) Richard Chamberland 1962, (System Of) Doctor Tarr & Professor Feather Alan Parsons Project 1976 & Dr. Heckyll & Mr. Jive Men At Work 1983

at40fansince1984: I wonder if there's a 2rd part of the Halloween Blast From Special because he never played the mentioned Charlie Daniels Band & Meat Loaf which would've been beeter than the Justin Bieber & Olivia Rodrigo GARBAGE!!

at40fansince1984: In the CT40 show today before #8 he mentioned WDBR Springfield Illinois. I remember hearing Shadoe on them so I guess after it ended they switched to Casey. He also mentioned KHTR Pullman Idaho but the KHTR I remember in the 80's was in St. Louis.

at40fansince1984: Does the 11/13/82 MERC include Jeff's Outtake blooper after the show?
Nov 11, 2024 10:40:02 GMT -5
adam31: Did Rick say Def Leppard was #38? Also Interesting to hear a Taylor other than Swift to have a first on the WT40...
Nov 11, 2024 12:17:51 GMT -5
at40fansince1984: Oops it skipped over the Blast From The 90's
Nov 11, 2024 15:24:46 GMT -5
adam31: I used to think Pennywise was scary, now he looks like Bozo compared to the thing in Terrifier. I Don't think that will ever be on ABC TV.
