 (This is Not an official site, the official site is at40.com) AT40: 1970s and AT40: 1980sIn late 2006, Premiere Radio Networks began producing a show similar to the old AT40 Flashback. Instead of the 1980s shows, enitre shows from the 1970s were made available for radio stations to air. The only catch was that only 3 hour shows were available to air, meaning only shows before the 1978 switch to 4 hours are available. In April 2007, Premiere made 1980s shows available once again. The format is the same as the 1970s show above. Unlike the 1970s shows, these shows can be 4 hours in length if the stations want to air them. The first hour of the show does not have national commercials. Both shows have a format similar to the current AT40/20/10 family of shows, where there is an optional extra during each hour. (Optional Extra is a song that can be cut out of the show for more commercials if a station so desires). However, for these shows, Casey Kasem does not intro the song. Regular Casey fill-in Ed McMann does the talking. Usually the optional extra is a song that was popular near the time of the show, but not quite in the top 40 at the specific show date.A list of the 1980s shows aired is available.
