Before the consolidation, classic "AT40" on XM aired uncut, with some
IDs and bumpers with Casey's voice today added to fill in the
commercial breaks and the end-of-hour music played out all the way to
the end. Now, there are those edits as described--but in addition,
Premiere also remastered the first years, which were recorded in mono,
and replaced the original versions of the songs with stereo versions,
which sometimes time out as planned but more often not. It also
should be pointed out that all throughout "AT40"'s run, particularly
in the last months before "AT40" went to four hours in '78 or '79 but
all throughout, songs would get edited even shorter than the single
version to come in on time with the given amount of commercial
inventory.
And I suspect the main reason that "AT10" and "AT20" are gone is the
fact that adult contemporary station playlists are becoming static to
the point of paralysis, with very, very few adds and three-year-old
songs still in current rotation (although hot/modern AC is obviously a
little better than that). They needed the long distance dedications
and extras to really tell one show from another, with the charts
becoming so static.
