Premiere Networks has announced that Casey Kasem’s American Top 40 has surpassed the 600th affiliate milestone with the addition of iHeartMedia’s 93.7 The River (KYRV-FM) – Sacramento’s Greatest Hits. Casey Kasem’s American Top 40 – The 80’s joins the station’s lineup on Sundays from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. PT, beginning May 10, 2026.
Millions of fans around the world consider the name Casey Kasem synonymous with musical countdowns. The late Radio Hall of Famer retired from the helm of American Top 40 – the show he created in 1970 that became the gold standard of music programming – in 2003, and the franchise continues today with host Ryan Seacrest.
Kasem’s legacy lives on through Casey Kasem’s American Top 40 – The 70’s and Casey Kasem’s American Top 40 – The 80’s, which continue to entertain audiences nationwide. These full length classic American Top 40 shows from 1970 to 1988 are available to stations in their original broadcast form.
“This milestone is a testament to the enduring legacy of Casey Kasem and the timeless appeal of American Top 40,” said Peter Tripi, Executive Vice President of Affiliate Sales for Premiere Networks. “These classic shows continue to resonate with audiences of all ages, and we’re thrilled to welcome 93.7 The River as the latest station to bring this iconic countdown experience to its listeners.”
