Top 40 WPTR question.

T

thebeach33445

Hey Guys:

Well I have been reading all of the history posts and I am really enjoying them. I was wondering if you can help me out with this question. I have seen on some posts here and some other stories on the internet about when WPTR went from Top 40 to AC. I have read 1976, 1977, 1979, and 1980.

Can anybody help me clear this up?

Thank you very much.

T.J.
 
It is my understanding that WPTR officially flipped to its short lived A/C format in early 1980. The format lines between Top 40 and A/C became kind of blurry though in the late 1970s. However, it flipped to Country in late 1980, which lasted until 1988.
 
When I left WPTR in February 1980 it was still Top 40 but was beginning to morph into AC. From what I was told the transition to full AC came in March.
