Yes, Casey Kasem has been a source of enjoyment, inspiration, and pride [[in Detroit) to me for a long time. I enjoy listening to the rebroadcasts of his older countdowns on the internet from other areas. KGBO [[Sunday at noon Detroit time) is one of many stations that have either a 70s or 80s countdown each week that streams online.

Most of the DJ time sheets [[with the chart for the week) can be found here:

It can be fun to follow along with the countdown [[or not, if you want to be surprised).

I guess Shaggy will be retiring too.

Casey's rep has stated that "This is the time to end the AC show. That gives Casey time to do his other work – voiceovers, cartoons, you name it."

I think Casey retired from voicing Shaggy a couple of years ago.

Also, he can do a bunch of the 70's and 80's shows intros and commercials in one sitting. The AC show had to be done each week. His son does much of the voicework on the 70's and 80's shows.
