As this was going on, Kasem was about to end his eighth full year working for Westwood One after having re-signed with the network in 1993. The relationship, however, had significantly deteriorated over the previous four years. Over the course of that period, Westwood One had been acquired by Infinity Broadcasting, which was later absorbed into CBS Radio. Kasem was not pleased by what he perceived to be missed opportunities for cross promotion with other CBS properties as well as being treated as a less important figure than some of the other hosts on the network. Westwood One, meanwhile, had a series of issues of their own with "Casey's Top 40"; while the show was still successful it had been dropped in both New York and Los Angeles, and the advertising revenue generated by the show did not justify the salary demands Kasem was making. The network also did not want to use the "AT40" branding.
