I remember hearing Casey Kasem on AT40 on Sunday mornings in 1971 on KRLA 1110 AM - a Top 40 station in LA. For that matter, I remember Casey Kasem doing basically the same thing - a count down show - on KRLA Sunday afternoons as early as 1968. Casey was the weekend and fill-in jock on that station, and it was only LA's #2 rock station in those days. Who knew Casey would hit the big time?
...in fact, on that 1968 KRLA countdown show, didn't Kasem use the Cash Box Top 100 Singles chart instead of the Billboard Hot 100 that was used on
American Top 40? Back in the early '70s, I never heard
AT40 on a Sunday morning, the local affiliate where I was growing up -- KFIZ/1450 Fond du Lac, WI -- ran it at 8:00 P.M. Sunday night. I think I might have even caught one of the late-late-late night runs on WCFL/1000 Chicago in '72, but that was only technically Sunday morning, in the real world that was late Saturday night ;-) ...
