Yup. A lovable guy from Arkansas, a civil engineer by trade, took on that digitizing task years ago after Casey handed the original show off to Seacrest. Premiere Networks, the current owner of the format and of Idol-boy's daily pseudoformat for pop radio, sends them off to north-of-200 stations between the 70s and 80s shows. I admit to being a fan, having once won (vinyl 33 record) radio-station copies of the show in the mid 70s for correctly picking the #1 song, but don't like 80s as much as 70s.
