Watermark Inc.

Watermark Inc.

Watermark Inc. was a radio syndication company that was founded in 1969 by Tom Rounds and Ron Jacobs. Watermark's best known programs were American Top 40 and its spinoff American Country Countdown. Both shows were created by Casey Kasem and Don Bustany.

Watermark also syndicated other shows including 'The Robert W. Morgan Special of the Week,' 'Alien Worlds,' 'Soundtrack of the 60's,' (hosted by Murray The "K" from 1980 to 1981, and Gary Owens to series end) 'Profiles in Rock,' 'Ringo's Yellow Submarine,' and 'The Elvis Presley Story.' The company also produced the "Cruisin'" series of albums, recreating top 40 dj shows of the 50s and 60s.

In 1982 Watermark was brought by ABC Radio Networks in order to acquire its flagship shows AT40 and ACC. Watermark became a subdivison of ABC Radio and would continue to exist until 1995 when the original AT40 program ceased production.
