This has ostensibly been a shaky week for the Kasem shows. The broadcast version of the '70s countdown was the landmark show from June 1973 when Billboard, whence the show's charts came until the '80s, started using its new computer to compile charts, resulting in some rather wild movement

PGage, to moi: They also distribute (to about 200 stations, they say) the repackaged versions of Kasem's '70s and '80s shows (I love the '70s ones, always will), and those will continue. Do you know of a way to listen to the 70's show online? I've actually found the show podcasted by

Scott Fouru, to moi and PGage: For awhile, XM Satellite Radio was running (and heavily promoting) the historical shows by CK. But after the post-merger programming homogenization, I think they have fallen off the schedule. They still list them on Sirius 70s on 7 and 80s on 8, along with XM 8

In recent years, Kasem's current countdown shows have been based on AC and Hot AC charts, not the Top 40/Hot 100 fare that The Metrosexuals (Seacrest, Billy Bush) do. Last time I heard American Top 10 (the AC chart show), the program was about 30% countdown and 70% dedications, artist/group

Interesting. I wasn't aware that Mr Jean Kasem was still doing original programs; in my perusal of the radio dial, both local and distant (when traveling), all I've heard is the program with Radio's Most Famous Metrosexual. For awhile, XM Satellite Radio was running (and heavily promoting) the
