Kal Rudman, Publisher of The Friday Morning Quarterback, Issues Statement on Casey Kasem’s Death
“Like few people in broadcasting before him, Casey Kasem found a niche, and never had any competitors. His unique skill was in researching incredible, unknown stories about the artists, and only hit songs, on his countdown show. A consummate story writer will usually make it big in the media industry, and Casey Kasem was among the biggest,” shared the man who publishes what is considered the bible of the radio and music industries.
“Kasem’s sound was another key to his success. His voice was absolutely the epitome of friendliness and warmth. It’s difficult to envision someone replacing him, but of course, you can never say never.”
“On behalf of the staff of the Friday Morning Quarterback, we send our deep condolences to the entire Kasem family.” ~ “The Man with the Golden Ears”
