Countdowns on Variety Hits stations

S

Scoobyfan1

The other day I was curious about something and I was wondering are there any Variety Hits/Jack stations in the US and Canada that air any of the major countdown show on the air right now i.e. American Top 40, American Top 20, American Top 10 or either of the classic American Top 40 shows from the 70's and 80's distributed by Premiere Radio Networks? In my opinion the fact that those stations play many songs from several different decades and from many different styles of music it would make sense for those types of stations to carry the countdowns.

I'd be surprised if any of the Jack-like stations have countdowns. After all, isn't Jack supposed to be the anti-radio radio... or what radio "isn't"?
 
WKIM (KIM-FM) in Memphis plays Classic AT40 from the '70s and '80s on Saturday nights and Sunday mornings. They play all 40 songs on the chart and the shows are 3 hours long.
 
Ugh.

The countdown show that IMHO would be the way to go with a Variety Hits Station would be The Random Countdown with "Dandy" Don Cheeseman. Listen to the demo (seems like two years ago that I first heard this after I was sent a clip via email). http://www.bsmedia.net/subpages/show_dandy.php

I don't think Randy Miller ever got this show on a station, but it has potential!

I LOVVVVEE IT!
Only thing is, he needs to tone down the cheesey metaphors, but just a little (I know, he's the "Cheeseman," right?). I don't understand half of what he's saying. Other than that, I LOVE that he starts with number 6. This would fit JACK like a tube-sock!

Actually, four hours long.

Jack FM in Meridian, MS plays Rick Dees.
 
"While He Was On the Cross, We Were On His Mind" this is Gospel Hits Y-104.9 FM WSLY York/Meridian.

I discovered that change earlier today. I'm assuming that their new format is Southern Gospel. Not too sure but I'll be checking into it.
