* SomethingCompletelyDifferent:
** During the Bowman era, Bowman frequently did his trademark one-liners, often including artists he was about to introduce as the butt. However, the many specials he also presided over as host are done straight; instead of incorporating his typical (now) politically incorrect humor, Bowman comes off as authoritative and displays his genuine knowledge and love of country music ... and specials such as the "B-Sides Special" and "Top Male Artists 1949-1976" were among the very best of the early ACC shows, and are part of the show's longevity. [[note]](Both specials were timeless, and easily could have been made available for checkout by public and academic libraries.)[[/note]]
** During the Kingsley years, he would usually only read letters in the two designated request segments, but on one show when Blaine Larsen's anti-suicide ballad "How Do You Get That Lonely" was climbing, he read a letter from a fan who said how much that song moved her right before its spot on the countdown.

* GuestHost: During his tenure, Kingsley would often take one or two weeks off per year and hand the mic over to someone else (usually a DJ at a major market radio station). Incidentally, Kingsley was a guest host about a half dozen times during the Don Bowman era of the mid-1970s, usually when Bowman's touring schedule didn't allow him to make the trip to Los Angeles to record the program; other top country acts of the day – including Red Stegall – hosted ''[=ACC=]'''s special programs during the 1970s. Today, Donna Britt, executive producer of ''[=ACC=]'', handles the guest duties when Brooks is absent.

* CommercialBreakCliffhanger: Like its parent show, ''[=ACC=]'' often teased an upcoming extended story or feature with a teaser before going to commercial. The payoff would often come after the break and another song. Currently, Kix Brooks uses interview clips to tease upcoming songs, as well as snippets of songs upcoming in the countdown.
