* From 1986 through 2012 (plus a one-off in 2016), ''Radio/TheBobAndTomShow'' released albums that compiled popular recent skits, guest appearances, songs, etc. at the rate of at least one per year, as well as GreatestHitsAlbum-style compilations for particularly popular characters or topics. All of them went out of print within a few years and their topical nature rendered reissues out of the question, even more so for the collections made before the show went national in 1995, because they included many Indiana-specific skits/songs. Worse, two early titles (''A Day at the Race!'' and ''Good Morning Saudi Arabia'') were cassette-only releases.

Also, sometime around 2022, the albums that are available on Apple Music were replaced with new releases of them, losing a few tracks in the process.

I’m making the same correction that someone else made on the show’s trivia page.

** The second program of the original 1970-1995 series – aired July 11, 1970 – is thought to be lost, although later, a "July 11, 1970" program was supposedly created featuring segments from shows aired in July and early August, 1970.

** The second program episode of the original 1970-1995 series – aired July 11, 1970 – is thought to be lost, although missing the master tape for its third hour. Many years later, a "July 11, 1970" program de facto "third hour" was supposedly created featuring segments from shows aired in July and early August, 1970.



** Although all programs from the Shadoe Stevens-era (1988-1995) exist, they are not owned by Premiere Radio Networks, owners of the ''American Top 40'' franchise since 1998 (when they were known as AM[=/=]FM Radio Networks); instead, they are owned by Cumulus Media (successors to the show's original production company, Creator/{{ABC}} Watermark; interestingly, Cumulus now also owns Westwood One, owners of ''Casey's Top 40''). A video uploaded by Shadoe to his personal Website/YouTube account in 2015 suggested his episodes would soon be syndicated, but this never came to pass.

* Creator/BigFinish has had this happen twice. ''Series/TheTomorrowPeople'' had a series of audio dramas featuring the original 1970s cast. Five series of audios were released, and during production of the 6th series, their license was revoked and Big Finish had to remove all sales links from their site. A similar thing happened with their continuation of ''Series/SapphireAndSteel'.
