Back in the 70’s when the radio stations received the show for the week it would come in on albums with que tones for the breaks. I was the most popular kid in the neighborhood because my dad worked at a station that aired the show. I didn’t get all the shows but I got many of them and I still have them today.

Your style will be missed..I know my time of 70’s & 80’s have gone by way too fast. The style of music never really matter to this man. All it had to be was a great beat & words.The way he presented the stars & others were of positive ways it brought it to radio be it AM music at first to FM….Voice & knowing of the music he played brought a way to know the artist. No matter his age wish he kept a voice out in the airwaves for music..Thanks Kasey…

I have to make a correction. While WNBC did carry AT40 from July of 1980 until November of 1983, after they dropped it, WPLJ picked it up, not Z100. I remember that happened Thanksgiving weekend and I remember WPLJ keeping the show into the 1990s. WNBC’s signal was a Godsend in many respects as there were areas where their signal reached and there were no other AT40 affiliates in 1980 and ‘81. Philly didn’t get an affiliate until late ‘81, south Jersey would lose their affiliate in Vineland (I believe) by then and the Reading and Lehigh Valley (PA) areas didn’t have one at the time, just to name a few. When our family went to visit North Carolina’s outer banks in the summer of ‘83, I found out I could also pick WNBC up there, too…during the daytime!

As a former AFRTS announcer, I remember how we eagerly awaited the arrival of the tapes of the latest AT40. It was the one program that everyone looked forward to. It’s not the same without Casey. He is the “gold standard.”

Wow! Not since Dick Clark had his stroke and Paul Harvey died have I been so sad! Although I must admit with the easy listening on the internet I have not listened to Casey for years I now realize what a great mistake this has been. I guess I took for granted he’d always be there!
Wow.. so sad.. I feel like an end of an era is happening!
Thanks for all the great years Casey.. wish you all the best in life!!
