  Sunday, December 7, at 9AM with Johnny Donovan, WABC debuts 
  a full Top 30 countdown show. In the past few months, there had
  been a countdown show, but it always started with the numbered
  song before the first blank space on the survey. Now, the full
  top 30 is revealed with some songs only being aired on Sunday
  morning. 
  #'s 27, 28, 29, 30 are only aired on Sunday morning and aren't
  on the printed list, with LW positions given for #'s 28 and 29.
  #'s 32 and 40 aren't on the printed list, numbers given on next
  week's Sunday countdown show. 
  Barry Manilow AC isn't on the printed list.
