Just a couple of quick points...
I think one reason CBS-FM had so many "vintage" NYC jocks was so many of them stayed in the area and were available, sometimes just for lucrative part-time work.
WJMK/Chicago also had at various times Ron Brittain and Fred Winston from the AM era. Landecker was there quite a while and Biondi has been there even longer. KRTH in LA had Steele and Robert W. Morgan, which was much more than a token few. The superstars of the Top 40 era in LA would have Morgan and Steele Nos. 1 and 2.
There were on-air reunion weekends in Chicago and Detroit before CBS-FM did the promotion. I think Buffalo may have had one, too.
WTAE/Pittsburgh did an all-time listener-voted Top 300 countdown in 1973 and I'm sure they weren't the first.
