American Top-40 WRKR FM 100.7 Racine WI December 19 1976.wmv

American Top- 40 With Casey Kasem was a long time staple on WRKR 100.7. The longest run was Sunday's 6:00 PM - 10:00 PM followed by Dr. Demento from 10:00 PM to Midnight. I believe during it's run the schedule time had changed to Saturday's then back to Sunday's Noon to 4:00 PM in the early 80's. I beleive it was once again changed back to Sunday evenings before disappearing from the station. This is a scoped version of the countdown from Sunday December 19 1976 songs # 9 to # 1. The local WRKR spots are not scoped to add to the history of this aircheck. This recording was made using a microphone, recording from the radio, so the audio is so-so.

I love your posts, but everytime I start to get into one of the songs, its over! :)

@noah1970 A lot of these airchecks were pre-scoped. I present them this way for two reasons. The first is it would take a fair amount of time in the studio to "reconstruct" the song (and hard to match the sound of the original recording be it good or bad) and the second is to keep the copyright thing away. I realize YT has agreements with a number of record labels (but not all). I include just enough of the song to preserve the flavor of the Aircheck. Yes it is easy to become immersed in them!

Nadia's Theme=The Young and The Restless theme song.

Love this... thanks for sharing.

BTW - Elton John did hit #1 with "Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word," but it was on the Adult Contemporary chart. The record ended up peaking at #6 on the Hot 100. So Casey's prediction was partly correct. :)
