"But we found [other] stations like KOST-FM, which was more laid- back. We decided instead of doing just one show called 'Top 40,' we'd give stations a menu." Once the countdown kingpin offered stations a variety of shows to fit their new formats, many old stations jumped back on the Kasem bandwagon. Kasem now produces three versions of his countdown shows: "Casey's Top 40," "Casey's Hot Adult Contemporary" and "Casey's Adult Contemporary" plus a daily five-minute show, "Casey Kasem's Biggest Hits," which features top chart - performers from the last 10 years. Today, stations broadcast the countdown kingin in about 500 markets across America and on every continent. Here in the Southland, listeners can tune in to the show Sunday nights from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. on 104.3KBIG -FM. C.K., Gary Owens, Wink Martindale Dave Verdery, assistant program director Los Angeles Radio Guide - 13 and music director for KBIG, described Kasem as the anchor of the "big weekends" at the adult contemporary giant. "It's hard to stimulate listening at night on an AC station," Verdery said. "But we get letters from people who thank us for being the 'Casey station.' " Verdery credits Kasem with possessing "the master's touch" when it comes to putting together a countdown show. KBIG is one station that has sampled more than one item from the Kasem menu. "We programmed 'Casey's Countdown' for two years Liberty,wife & "Cheers" star Jeannie with Casey before switching to the 'Hot "The format is simple: play the music 20' show," he said. and tell human interest stories," he Kasem emphasized that though popu-explained.

"Long distance dedications" -1 began in 1964, and they remain a popular forum for lovers, friends and family to send a message via a song over the airwaves. During the height of Beatlemania, the popular KRLA DJ read a letter on the air from a 12 -year -old girl over George Martin's instrumental version of the Fab Four hit "And I Love Her." She described going to a Beatles concert where she got to hug her favorite Liverpool lad, George Harrison. Within a week, 10 record companies requested copies of Kasem's reading of the emotional letter. "LetterfromElaina"soon became a hit record. Over the years, Kasem has received millions of dedications, and he enjoys being a friendly voice listeners can trust with their emotions. Broadcasting is more than just a career for him - it represents the power of human interaction. "You have to invite radio into your lives." he said.
