How many stations used Casey's shoutouts as legal ID's? I know WMC-FM 100 in Memphis used it for years.

Casey Kasem AT 40 shoutouts
- Thread starter ThePowerCow

I never worked at a station that carried AT40 but I like to listen to Casey on SiriusXM and listen for the shoutouts. Sometimes I will look up the stations mentioned to see what format they are running today.
When I was at KIYU in Galena, AK one of my jobs was to download and edit the shows.... we had dick cut a bunch of liners for us and one thing I'd do when hed call for a time out going into a break (which we filled with a psa, station promo and a song) is add a station tag to the segment closer "And we'll be right back after this time out ON KIYU" .. the on KIYU part was voiced just for us as part of a much longer liner "dont miss out on rock pop n soul...........XXXX on KIYU". id get a clean cut of that, tackk it on...... I'd also do that with return liners and if i had to fill with a second song, I'd use it as a between song liners.. Dick spoke in such a way that you could never really tell to the avg human ear that the into break or rejoin liners were two pieces after i customized them

Back in the 1970s, I worked for KACY/1520 in Port Hueneme (Oxnard-Ventura market) CA. We ran AT40 on Sunday morning and called the regular format "KC-152".
Custom TOH during AT40 was "This is Casey ... on 'KC' ... KACY, Port Hueneme."
Before I worked for this station, AT-40 aired on WIBV Belleville, IL. The station occasionally used it as their legal ID during that era.
...and, I was a snot-nosed punk listening to that each week while I lived there. Fun times.

It's one of the cooler things about listening to AT 40 reruns. Those shoutouts are like a who's who of radio stations gone by.
Agreed! They're one of the highlights of the program for me. It's so cool to think about some board-op spinning those LPs on-air...

Many of us were that board-op at some point in our careers!
