Unlike ABC Watermark, AM/FM and Premiere both realize the value of linking Casey to AT40 and I agree wholeheartedly with this. If you read Rob's book, you'll see that Shadoe even admitted this.
I tend to emphasize Casey somewhat as I prefer Casey's Top 40 shows to the AT40 shows at the same time and my collection reflects this. Given the choice, I would have preferred the two stay together but things didn't work out that way. Shadoe's not bad (especially when compared to Rick Dees) but in my opinion he will never be remembered as much for his years at AT40 as Casey. Casey has a magical ability to mix a sense of humor and seriousness in his narration that is hard for anyone else to replicate. Perhaps Shadoe and Ryan Seacrest appeal more to the teenage-20s crowd but for me Casey's the one I enjoy.
