Carson Daly’s weekly syndicated radio show “Most Requested” will air its final broadcast on March 31. The countdown show had about 100 affiliates.

Premiere Radio Networks, syndicators of the one-hour show, plan to relaunch a new show hosted by Daly that will concentrate on exposing radio listeners to emerging and new artists as he does in his TV show, NBC’s Last Call with Carson Daly. Artists such as Maroon 5, The Killers and Joss Stone made their late night debuts on Daly’s NBC TV show.

“This new program will allow me the opportunity to continue to expose up-and-coming talent to a wide range of music fans just as we do on ‘Last Call,’” said Daly in a statement released late Friday.

Premiere is the programming division of Clear Channel Radio.

The Carson Daly dynasty came to an end awhile ago (and now we're stuck in the Seacrest dynasty) so not surprisied to see this happen. Especially since like 70 of those 100 affiliates dropped the show.

Me too.

The show was horrible IMO.

"Most Requested" had two version: a pop and a rhythmic version. The Beat in Atlanta used to play the rhythmic version. When Channel 933 in San Diego played it, you could hear Carson say "here's (insert artist and title) on Kiss", as if it were downloaded to a Kiss FM station.

I liked the show.

[Diablo Cody™]

I listened to the final show.

Mariah Carey was his final guest.

PCD was #1 with "Beep".

[tico]

Did he acknowledge it being the last show?

[Diablo Cody™]

Yes, he did.

He kept mentioning Mariah Carey was his final guest.
And the person who won the cellphone was the final winner.
Etc.

How long had the show been on the air? I remember hearing it as early as 2001.

I believe it was 2001 when it debuted.
