and following the Grateful Dead.

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.

SoCal station KOLA airs "classic" reruns of Casey's show from the 70s and
80s very Saturday morning, I assume it is a syndicated deal. The way it
seems to work is they broadcast an installment for the same week, but
different year, with Kasem's original intros and outros intact. So I'd
guess a large chunk of the series has been digitized and saved.

Radio Express famously kept AT40 going to its clients for upwards of six 
months after ABC canned it in the States (after taking over the rights to 
competitor Rick "Disco Duck" Dees).

I wonder if those promotional films survive...
