History of "American Top 40" in Hartford radio market

KML0224

KML0224

As I listen to the classic edition of "American Top 40" with Casey Kasem on WTIC-FM 96.5 of Hartford, it has me wondering: What is the timeline of this show airing in the Hartford/New Britain/Middletown radio market? I'm 100% sure it aired on WKSS-FM 95.7 of Hartford/Meriden in 1987-88. Wasn't it on WDRC-FM 102.9 of Hartford in the early 1980s?
 
Throughout the seventies and well into the eighties, American Top 40 was sumulcast Sunday nights on WDRC-AM and FM. By 1987 I recall listening Sunday mornings, but I don't recall what station.
 
WCDQ program director Ken Devoe wanted to get AT 40 for his New Haven market station. Ken told me he couldn't get it because WDRC had exclusive rights for 35 miles from the FM transmitter site in Meriden.
