The Edge Fat 40 with Guy, Sharyn & Clint
The Edge Fat 40 with Guy, Sharyn & Clint was broadcast on The Edge from 2 pm through 5 pm on Saturdays. It featured a countdown of the 40 biggest songs, as calculated by a mixture of online music rating website musiclab.net.nz and votes for that week's Smash! 20.
Unlike their weekday show, The Edge Fat 40 is not available as a podcast, as voice breaks were mostly filled with discussion about just played or upcoming songs, or current promotions.
