AT40 Finally Arrives at Power 96-1
- Thread starter RadioDoogie
- Start date
So sorry, RadioDoogie....I posted a new topic on this same subject....without even seeing yours first. Ooops! My apologies. 
Wow how long has it been since Atlanta had the real CHR version....(8, 9, 10 years)? Not sure.
But, what's REALLY weird is that now, I'm noticing just how many songs on AT 40 that Power still doesn't play. I'm hearing a lot of songs for the first time that have been on charts for for weeks! Even way up the chart, songs like "Home" by Phillip Phillips will play for the first time, ever on Power...(via AT 40).
In fact, just in the last 45 minutes, they played:
MEGAN & LIZ/Bad For Me
THE READY SET/Give Me Your Hand
CHRIS WALLACE/Remember When
TRAIN/50 Ways To Say Goodbye
MIGUEL/Adorn
....(ALL of which have never played on Power before)
But, it's all just interesting to me and these are not actual complaints...(Per se'). Cuz trust me, I'm glad to hear AT 40 back on, in it's true form in Atlanta.
What's next? Tomorrow, maybe Atlanta will discover fire??
Thoughts?

It's all good. I noticed all of these are playing on Q100 20 at 97.9. I think Wondergirls f/Akon "Like Money" will end up on AT40 and Power 96-1's playlist eventually. Yes, it is great to finally have the true CHR version of AT40 back in the ATL again. We were pretty much without a national countdown show for the last two months. 2006 was our best year with the Weekend Top 30, Fox All Access, Rick Dees, AT40, and AT10. I guess this is the sign of the times. Countdown shows just aren't as popular as they used to be. I think they are great and were a vital part to the CHR culture I grew up in. Thank you Power 96-1 for putting AT40 back on the air.

IMHO If a local station program it music based on local music sales or local requests or club play using a real live llocal music programmer, that is GOOD! There is a difference between NYC, LA and Atlanta. There are way too many "satellite programmed" stations now so anything local is good.
I completely agree. I am all about local and am deeply saddened at all of the voice tracking and satellite programming as well. I think my point is that AT40 is something we all grew up listening to with Casey Kasem and it is good to finally have the program back on in Atlanta Radio. Who knows, if Power 96-1 had come years sooner, we may have had a chance to actually listen to Casey Kasem during the dormant 90s when AT40 didn't exist on Atlanta Radio.
Speaking of Casey, if CC flips 105.7 or 105.3 to oldies classic hits they could run Premiere's AT40 The 70s or AT40 The 80s on it.RadioDoogie said:
That seems to be the big shoes waiting to drop--will anyone pick up classic hits or some flavor of alt, and what will happen with the 105.x sisters. Heck, something will happen to 105.1, too.
I forget who said it but 105.1 is (should be) an Urban signal. Unban oldie with "blue eyed*" soul would be cool.
* Hall & Oates, Righteous Brothers etc.

Correct I meant 105.3.
