RARE & FORGOTTEN CHR/Top 40 SYNDICATED SHOWS.......

E

electroboy73

Hello, all. I'm trying to compile a list of rare and short lived nationally syndicated CHR radio shows. So, I was wondering if ANYONE has information (or at least remembers) some 1980's/90's CHR syndicated shows that I can't find any info on....AT ALL! I'm beginning to think I must've dreamt that these shows ever exsisted!

The first was a RICK DEES (obviously I know The Weekly Top 40 Countdown) but aside from that, there was
a daily radio show from about 1985-1989 (can't think of name) that ran for 1hr everyday (Monday-Friday). (At least where I lived in Augusta, GA it was on every weekday morning from 5AM to 6 on 104.3 WBBQ)
And another from RICK DEES....unless I'm crazy....I think he had an additional show on weekends...(aside from Weekly Top 40). In the 1990's It was for 3 hours and we got it in Augusta, GA on Friday Nights from 10pm-1am)

The next show was a 4hr Top 40 countdown hosted by DAVE SHOLAN (..sp) called...something like, National Music Countown...." (from about 1984-1990)

Another was an easy one (but can't find info on it)....JOEL DENVER's Future Hits (ran from 1984 until about 1993)

And last but not least was JOHN LANDER's "Hit Music U.S.A."

I would love any info on these past CHR shows as well as any other's you may think of.


ANY THOUGHTS?
 
Better late than never reply:

Here are some:

Countdown USA with John Leader - later Dave Sholan
Countdown America with John Leader - later with Dick Clark - eventually became an AC show
Dick Clar's National Music Survey
Rockin' America Top 30 Countdown with Scott Shannon (& Mr. Leonard)
Top 40 Satellite Survey with Dan Ingram
The Weekly Top 30 with Mark Elliott
The Weekly Music Magazine with Charlie Van Dyke.


Rick Dees' daily show was the Ameican Music Magazine.
