Old Syndicated Countdown Shows That Aired on Z-93

It seems like WLW had 'Dick Clark's National Music Survey' back around 1982. I thought this countdown was a top 30 or a top 40 though.

In the mid-'80s, WCLU had 'Countdown America', which was hosted by John Leader and later by Dick Clark. During the Dick Clark era, it switched from being a CHR countdown to AC. That was around the time WCLU dropped it (maybe 1986).

Does anybody remember that strange, honking music bed that 'Countdown America' had during commercial breaks that went on for like 5 minutes?
 
Another interesting countdown: Sometime in 1988, Barry Fox on WLAP-FM in Lexington used to host a countdown of that station's own top 30. This aired on a weekday afternoon. (It might have been Tuesdays.)

I don't think this lasted for very long. I could pick up WLAP-FM pretty well in Highland Heights, and I heard this countdown maybe once or twice.

WIZE was an AT-40 affiliate. My collection of AT-40 shows came from a closet at WIZE.

On the replays of AT40 on Mix 107.7, I've heard them mention them during the "AT40 can be heard on great stations like...". I even remember they mentioned a new station was Dayton's own Z-93 in March, 1987. Crazy they let this play on Mix, although the calls weren't mentioned or they were edited out.
Stereolane, when did WIZE drop AT40? How many years of AT40 do you have?
