""Top 40" was the pre-eminent American radio format of the 1950s and 1960s. The AM
stations owned by Todd Storz and his father were principle developers of Top 40 radio.
There are quotations from the memoirs of several founders of the format; four of this
volume's five principal writers were managers or program directors at Storz stations"
