The Rest In Peace Casey Kasem Marathon begins immediately!

[Jeff Michaels]

Casey Kasem was my idol for radio. Without him, I never would have had the passion for it that I have.

Rest In Peace Casey!

WBME salutes the amazing talent of Casey Kasem with a HUGE marathon of shows. I picked shows that I am fond of for one reason or another as well as landmark shows. I did at least 2 per year as long as I had more than one to offer... Here is what will air:

After this, we will pick up where we left off in the other schedule. If you have a tribute or memory and would like me to read it for inclusion in the marathon, please PM me the tribute message, I will record it and insert it into the mix.

Times are EST and approximate.

[pointpark04]

Jeff, for the 8:15 show tonight, do you mean 7/10/76? There is no 7/11/76.

Thanks.

[Jeff Michaels]

Yeah, must be mislabeled in my folder.

[pointpark04]

Thanks for the clarification, Jeff. Looking forward to that show.

Edit: I think that the 10/3/92 show you have scheduled to play on Friday was a guest-hosted countdown, by Mark Elliot. Am I right?

[hifi]

Time is about an hour and a half off.

3:10pm: 11-15-75
5:45pm: 3-13-76
8:15pm: 7-11-76
11:05pm: 2-5-77

new estimated start time

4:40pm: 11-15-75
7:15pm: 3-13-76
9:45pm: 7-11-76
12:35am: 2-5-77

[pointpark04]

I see that part of the problem is that there isn't enough time between the two 1975 shows. The 1:40 show is only allotted an hour and a half instead of two and a half. And we're about 35 minutes behind too. Which means the 7/1076 show I want won't air until around 10 EST.

[hifi]

11-15-75 just started. At about 4:35pm

[Jeff Michaels]

Sorry about that. I see what I did wrong. Was pretty upset and sad when I did it, apologies! They will air a second time through...

[hifi]

No need to apologize, Jeff.  It's a fine tribute to Casey.

5:45pm: 3-13-76

Show started at 7:05pm, about 1 hr 20 minutes this time.

So, add 1hr 20 to 1hr 25 minutes to the start time of original posted time.

7-11-76 should start about 9:35pm EST

[albe]

You can always count on Jeff to do a fitting tribute

[pointpark04]

It's 9:57 ET. The 7/10/76 show just started. Figure on 2 hours 40 minutes run time, show should end around 12:35.

I see that this was from the Canadian Armed Forces Network, complete with extras and even weather. The first hour took an hour, so make the end time around 12:55 a.m.

Another edit: It appears we've picked up steam in the second hour.

[Jeff Michaels]

I try to edit out anything not AT40, except their station ID's, they are always so good!

[pointpark04]

Well, I jumped the gun. The second hour will last an hour, as well. So, this will be a full three-hour broadcast.

[hifi]

I would go with an hour and a half. It's better to be a little early (with Veetle) than to be late, when it comes to the start time. My time was based on the earliest that the player would drop the previous show and load up the start of the next show that I am waiting to hear. 
--------------------------------------
Adjusted start time 1 1/2 hrs...

TUESDAY:

5:30am: 3-25-78  <started at 5:30 for me

11:40pm: 10-4-80

[Deleted]

I'm going to be listening to the 1-16-82 show tomorrow.

[pointpark04]

At 10:30 ET, we were halfway through the 2/23/80 show. The 10/4/80 show should be bumped about 20 minutes or so.

Jeff, that 10/3/92 show you have scheduled looks to be a guest-hosted show by Mark Elliot. Are you still planning on playing that one?

Also, the 7/4/87 countdown you have listed could either be the regular countdown or the "Top Hits of the '80s so far" special that ran the same weekend. Which will you be playing?

Thanks.

[Jeff Michaels]

I'll look at the 92 show. Usually I label guest host shows, so if it is, I'll sub in something else.

The 87 show is the regular show.

[hifi]

I think I heard one of the tribute messages at the end of 2-23-80. You were saying something about Casey was also the voice of Shaggy. I did not get a chance to hear the rest before it dropped. Could you edit together the messages you already have and then fit them in to the end of the schedule right before the repeat?

[Jeff Michaels]

There are 3 different messages. Two that I did and one that Randall did. They are all in a rotation

[Jeff Michaels]

The 10-3-92 show was, in fact, a sub hosted show. I replaced it with one of his special editions. The Top 40 Artists Of The 1980's.

Must have mis-labelled my file. Thanks for the heads up!

Will the 1-16-82 show be played again? I missed a lot of it because the Internet was down at my house.

Thank you.

[hifi]

The 11-17-84 show had a really cool DIO - This Buds for you! commercial. Of course the Oxy 10 "The North Star" commercial is in there. I remember that one was on television a lot, in the mid 80s. Now on with the countdown...

[Jeff Michaels]

Was it original commercials? I know I have alot of original versions of shows just not always sure what is what.

[Deleted]

I'm going to be listening to the 10-19-85 show when I get home.

[pointpark04]

Jeff, thank you for the July 4, 1987 show. It's one of the few months of Casey's AT40 countdowns I didn't have.

[hifi]

I'm glad the tribute will air a second time. I missed a few shows due to sleep and other duties. Really enjoying the shows.

[pointpark04]

Is anybody else having trouble loading the Veetle WBME page? All I'm getting is "Unavailable", and I reload the page over and over, with nothing happening.
