Oh, actually WRSR was NOT 97 Star. Thought the call letters look off. WRSR was actually Surf 106 in Nag's Head.

is it 11/6? perhaps my website needs some tinkering. Typo im sure. K'92 in Roanoke definitely had Casey. I think they even carried Casey & Shadoe for time, but thats way down in southwest VA. Norfolk VA?? I cant ever recall Casey being on Norfolk. Z-104 always had Dee's, even in the 80's. 97 Star (WGH)?? maybe? I know they carried Hit Music USA I don't know if K92 ever carried Shadoe's AT40, but they did run both Casey's Top 40 and Rick Dees when I was in college there (1993-97). Then I was in grad school in Norfolk for three years, but unfortunately I don't remember if CT/AT40 was on there. Either I didn't know when it was on or didn't care about a lot of the music contained therein--or both. |

Unless a CT40 or a later AT40 (second run) reveals otherwise, my bet would be that when Casey originally left in 1988, he never returned to Norfolk - not unless it was via either of the AC shows. WGH appears to have stayed on AT40 with Shadoe, possibly up until they flipped Country. I don't know if K92 ever carried Shadoe's AT40 Similarly, unless it turns up otherwise, I'm thinking no. Looks like (per the 80s book) K92 lost AT40 in 1983, originally to WROV (AM 1240), who had it through 1985. There's possibly a gap in 86, then WSLQ signs on with them on 5/23/87. From there, Q99 stayed on at least through 1989 (Shadoe reads them on 12/2), possibly/probably longer, though how much so I wouldn't know. |

Yeah, I think it was the 'age' appeal or lack there of. However as i recall, WHTZ DID bring Casey back. I certainly remember hearing Casey on Z-100 via webstream back in the late 90's. an that would of had to have been 1998/1999, maybe even early 2000's as I didnt have a 'puter capable of listening to 'stream's till that time. And i definitely remember trying to hear the year end show of At40 Top 100 of 2000 from Z100, but by that time they were geo-blocking the stream. However again, they buried the show at Sunday night (aka monday morning), was it 2am-6am??? Or 1am-5am?? So no one would ever listen (it was definitely after midnight sunday nite). An yes DC fell victim to the near demise of CHR radio, as CT40 road along on WAVA till it totally flipped Christian in Feb '92, at which time DC was left w/ no CHR. Baltimore had lost CHR and Casey the year before when B-104 flipped to Variety-104. Casey only returned w/ his 'other show's. Im assuming Casey's Countdown was on WASH FM?? Certainly it AT-10/20-AC was on WASH. The AT-20-HAC show was on WINC an B-101.5 which were rim shot stations to DC. When CHR returned to B'more in '97 on 102.7 XYV, they also picked up Rick Dee's. The only stations you could hear Casey's Top 40 on after WAVA's demise were Mix106.3 in Easton MD (another rimshot), an The Rock station WQCM 96.7 in Hagerstown. However that changed in 1994 when Z-104 picked up CT40, but even Z104 at its original Frequency 103.9 couldnt come in downtown. Z104 flipped to whatever format was on 104.1 (former Xtra 104) at the start of 1995, thus ending Casey's run, i'll say "near" Washington. WQCM had dropped the show in '93 an Mix1063 dropped it in '94 i believe. After that your only option to hear Casey was Q-94 down in Richmond. That station had picked up Casey somewhere in the late 70's/early 80s an kept it all the way up thru the Seacrest era to only just recently having AT40 depart that station an jump over to 103.7 now. Z-104 format would get dusted off an reborn again in 1996 but they picked up Rick Dee's a year later in '97 (not that anyone would notice Rick Dee's was on Z104 as they aired it Sat. 5-9am), only to lose Rick to WIHT when they came into fruition in 2001. once Seacrest hit the air on AT40, Rick was bumped to sunday nights on WIHT 10pm-2am just until the contract ended which had to have been somewhere in late november '04 or Dec. Last show i recorded off WIHT was 11/1/04. I know for sure WIHT wasnt airing Rick in late December, so no year ender. I did listen to an record AT40 off Q-101 WQPO out of Harrisonburg in 1998 an 1999. I dont know when this station was airing AT40 or if they had CT40 beforehand. But Q-101 deosnt really come in within the 'dc' area. The only place you can really pick it up is in Centreville, which is where i use to park my car an record the show. Q-101 however switched to AT-20 in the year 2000, which really made no sense to me, they were still technically a CHR. Even to this day they're still technically a CHR. Today they run Carson Daly's Daily Download countdown, CHR 4 hr version. I know they also aired Rick Dee's HotAC version for awhile What about the Frederick, Maryland area? I think there was a CHR station still carrying Rick Dees Weekly Top 40 at the time, but picked up Shadoe AT40 in Feb. 1994 just about 5 months before its demise from the USA radio airwaves! |

I remember listening to WHTZ via on line stream in 2001. They did air American Top 40 with Casey Kasem Late Sunday Night/Early Monday morning from 1 am to 5 am. I would end up falling asleep before the first hour ended.
Casey Kasem Top 40 CHR format countdown would not return to Detroit radio until the December 25, 1999 show which was the top 40 songs of 1999. WKQI changed from the AT20 Hot AC to AT40 CHR. AT40 continues to air on WKQI to this day.

WGH? Probably just AT40 in whichever form - meaning Casey until he left, then Shadoe. I'm seeing a bit of an off-and-on history for them - AT40 would leave them for WNVZ in mid-1982, but would return in 1986 when 97 was WRSR (a short-lived name probably intended to reflect their 97 Star billing), and stayed on there...I'm guessing until WGH flipped to Country in 1990. (Latest mention I have for them is 8/26/89, but I don't have complete records like Shadoe Fan does - I'm missing a few weeks in later 1989, and don't currently have stations noted for 90-94 save for a few assorted weeks.) I'm now going through 12/23/89, and he reads them again. |

I know that OZ-FM in Newfoundland, where I live, aired CT40 right to the last day, including the transition to AT40's return.
OZ-FM dropped AT40 in 2009 just after AT20 ended its run, and at the same time OZ-FM had switched to a 1980s+ rock music format, which flopped. Since 2012, OZ-FM airs pop and rock material from 1990s onward, and they presently air Rick Dees' Weekly Top 40 on weekends (previously, 97.5 VOCM-FM/Magic 97 and CKIX-FM (99.1 HITS-FM) aired Rick Dees' WT40).

" The original Z104 I heard had At40 sometime back in the 80's, although i cant say for certain (WZYQ). 1 of the former dj's i believe swears they aired it so i'll buy that. I dont ever recall them airing Shadoe Stevens AT40. I know they were airing CT40 all the way till their demise in early '95. I still have my recording of the CT40 year end show of '94 from z104. They were also airing Rick Dees as well. They started airing Rick in 1989 an kept that show all the way till their demise. CT40 as near I can tell started in 1994. I dont ever recall hearing CT40 prior to that. And since they had both CT40 (Sat AM) & WT40 (Sun AM), AND "Top 30 Hitlist"/"Hitlist Live w/ Elvis Duran" Sunday evenings, I can't imagine them picking up AT40 as well?!?!? That would just be overkill. But i can't rule it out either. Even then where would they put it??? Both morning slots taken. I dont recall exactly what time HitList live aired but seemingly sunday nite was covered by that show. Sat. night they had the Sat. night dance party. I spose they could of squeezed it in prior to the start of that?!? Can't say if they were actually still doing the Sat. Night Dance party in '94 though. The station was "Day Parting" by this time. Meaning they were a HotAC station during the Day, an turned into a CHR at night. Plus I thought AT40 was NOT available in the States during 1994??? I thought it was only sent internationally by then. So your saying that AT40 stopped being available in the states during the late summer of '94? And do you recall when Z104 aired AT40? Perhaps someone can find a station mention. Z104 did come back to life in 1996 as "Washington's Z104", but they never aired Casey. Just Rick Dees starting in 1997 somewhere. Although I never did hear them play the year end show? 97 of 97?! I recently listened to it for 1st time. I remember trying to catch it an all i heard them run was a 1 hour Dee's x-mas show during what should of been part 1; next week they just aired regular music. They definitely ran the 98 of 98, not sure what happened w/ 97. |

Perhaps someone can find a station mention. 7/9/94 was the last week Shadoe's AT40 was heard in the States on any kind of broader level - only a couple of stations (one in Alaska) were somehow able to keep going with it until the show ended in January 1995. As for station mentions, at that end of the timeline that would be a question for Shadoe Fan. As for their having AT40 during the 80s - actually, upon checking Pete's books, they had it for most of Casey's original run. As WMHI, they picked up the show somewhere around the beginning of 1973 - first mention is 2/3/73. They may have dropped it briefly in the mid-70s, or perhaps the gap was just an informational one related to when they changed calls to WZYQ in 1975 - last WMHI mention is 6/28/75, first WZYQ is 6/11/77. But then, as WZYQ, they stuck with the show all the way through at least up to when Casey left - last mention is 6/4/88. |

Here are the dates WZYQ were mentioned during Shadoe's era: 7-22-89(as a new station), 9-8-90, 6-8-91, 9-14-91, 2-15-92, 2-19-94(as a new station), 6-18-94

I can weigh in from the WHTZ standpoint. As mentioned earlier, they dropped CT40 in November of 1994 as they were at that point on an ill-fated format switch to alternative. (Eventually they wised up and brought back CHR.). "Casey's Hot 20" began on WMXV in NYC the following February, and lasted roughly a year. Casey was then gone from NYC until he was cleared on a Chancellor O&O, Big 105, when AT20 HAC began on 3/28/98. I forget when that station disappeared, but it was around the same time that AT40 reappeared on Z100. I believe it started in the aforementioned 1-5am slot Sunday night/Monday morning and then eventually migrated to 5-9am on Saturday mornings (or perhaps it was the other way around). When Seacrest took over, the show moved to Sunday mornings at 8am and about 3-4 years ago that changed to 7am where it's been ever since.

I forget when that station disappeared, but it was around the same time that AT40 reappeared on Z100. Looks like that happened the first week of December: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWPR-FM#Big_105_(1998)To add to that, it looks like the same station - at least, in terms of dial position - played both: 105.1 would have been WMXV for its year with Casey's Hot 20, and then would have been Big 105 (WBIX) for its eight months with AT20. |
