According to digiguide POTPs is on from 1 till 4 starting next saturday ,with Dermot reduced to 2 hours. Is this a mistake or for real? Good news if true!

Radio 2 site listings seem to confirm it.. http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/programmes/schedules/2012/05/05

    Fantastic news! it sure has been extended next week promotes 3 Top 20 Charts 1965, 1974 and 1984.

    So my listening for Saturdays will be Casey Kasem on AT40 the 70s on Smooth 70s from 0900-1200 then POTP from 1300-1600 followed on Sundays by Kid Jensen Double Top 20 from 1800-2000.

    I just love the classic countdown shows.

    It could be just for one week because Dermots show is coming from the Cheltenham Jazz Festival next saturday,with Jamie Cullem sitting in.Maybe Digiguide made a mistake for the saturday after next..Anyway, we live in hope !

    It's just for one week only. There is a thread already open.

    As Darnall42 says above, tune in to KOLA 99.9 and hear at least an hour of AT40 the 80's, midday until four :)
