96.5 TIC and American Top 40

I don't live in the area so I don't normally get TIC, but last Sunday night I was able to pick it up via Tropo here in the Boston area. I couldn't help but notice that they still have 80s reruns of Casey Kasems American Top 40. I'm quite surprised they still do. How long have they had it for? I noticed that most of the music played on TIC is from 2000 and up. They don't even play a lot of 90s music. Do you think the show could move to WRCH?

When does it air on Sunday nights? I remember hearing it was on either Saturday or Sunday mornings but only aired the top-30 in that timeslot.

WTIC-FM 96.5 of Hartford airs a condensed 3-hour version each Sunday at 9 PM. They always air the 80s edition. I also heard the show via WTSA-FM 96.7 of Brattleboro, VT when I stayed in town the night of May 28th/29th. Oddly enough, they aired a different year from what WTIC-FM aired! WTSA-FM aired it on Saturday evening. I think they air a 70s version of the show on Sunday evenings.

The show is in wide syndication. heard on many station through-out the US/Canada & even some overseas stations. The reason for the 'different' shows is because there is normally an "A" show or primary show given to affiliates as well as a "B" show for stations who may not wish to air the "A" show. I think theres 1 or 2 stations that actually air both. It's also possible the station forgot to update their automation an simply replayed last weeks show.

I wish they run the four hour show.I catch the 1970's version on 1220 WQUN AM on Saturdays at noon I was so happy that they picked up the show.Its save me looking for a webstream. .Be warn when the Q university sports season starts.The show will get pre empted or get cut off during the show for their sports coverage. . Maybe the Whale get the show from TIC and run the full 4 hour show and maybe I will tune in more to WDRC.I listen to the complete 80's show from out of state stations.

I wouldn't count on WDRC-FM 102.9 to run the show, since it would clash would their current format. As for the entire 4 hours, I wouldn't count on it. WTIC-FM 96.5 has run only 3 hours each week, as long as I can remember.

I'm fairly certain that the 80s edition also runs on WTSA-FM 96.7 of Brattleboro, VT. I heard it when I was there overnight on May 28th/29th, I don't think they stream their station online, however.

I agree.There is plenty streams online to listen to.

Are they still airing the show?

As far as I know, they still do. However, with the edited down presentations on the AT40 youtube channel and Sirius/XM 80s on 8 playing their own countdown (based on the Billboard charts), there's little need for the WTIC-FM show these days.

IHeart radio has a Classic American Top 40 station running 24/7. They flip from countdown from the 70s to one from the 80s. At the top of the hour, the ID as an HD-2 station in Austin, Texas.

I don't listen to 96.5 very often, but it seems like they don't play much in the way of 80s music anymore. Maybe they should drop the show all together and let Kool Radio pick it up since they already carry The 70s version. Kool plays plenty of 80s music. There are a few stations that carry both the 70s and 80s version of AT 40.
