Remember when you were growing up, waking up on your weekends with no school and tuning your radio to your favorite radio station to catch Dick Clark's American Top 40, or Casey Kasem's Top 40 or even Rick Dees Weekly Top 40 Countdown? You'd listen for hours as they counted down the most popular songs that week, and would make en entire morning of it.
We're bringing that to Renegade Retro. Starting this Sunday, April 1 at 10 AM EST we present to you the Renegade Retro Weekly Top 40, a countdown of the 40 most requested/played tracks of the week gone by.
It's your opportunity to wake up on the weekend with no work and tune your radio to your favorite radio station and listen as we count down the most popular songs that week and make a morning of it! Relive your childhood and count them down with us!
Sunday mornings at 10:00 AM EST!!

Oh that'll be a cool feature. Can anyone do a good Casey Kasem impersonation?
You'll have to throw in a "Long distance dedication" in there and make up some silly story just for authenticity.
Oh this is totally awesome, TV9.
Yeah, Patty, someone will have to do a long distance dedication type thing and make this long story about how that person helped them out or how they truly love this person. I remember listening to those and crying a couple of times.
Yeah, don't pay attention to what number the Now Playing page says we're on, apparently there's a glitch in the script that if a station ID plays, it advances the count on that page. So it's ahead by 1 #, but what's airing is correct.

I was listening, but it was buffering badly, it's probably my stupid dialup connection. The station sometimes is fine but sometimes it buffers badly. Can't wait to get DSL.
Cable Internet doesn't Buffer hardly at all! Most problems I ever had tuning in was last night with Vamp's Robot Voice! Could barely make out what he was saying! otherwise the stream works fine!

And that wasn't the stream, just an overtaxed PC, with a giant DB, running processing for every song, the queued songs, the history, 10 PAL scripts running at once and sound processing....

All things considered though, Despite the overload, that Server PC has continued to pull it off with little or no glitches! Been a hard worker!

Caught the show in its entirety today. It's kinda cool to hear that my requests during the week resulted in Concrete Blonde and "Fortress Around Your Heart" securing spots in the countdown. Like Thom said, tune in, make requests and maybe the songs you pick will be included in the countdown!
