It is distributed domestically by Compass Media Networks and internationally by Dees Entertainment International (through Radio Express). The Weekly Top 40 has been heard each weekend in over 200 countries worldwide and the Armed Forces Radio Network. He began his Weekly Top 40 countdown program, still currently in syndication, on the weekend of October 8–9, 1983 on 18 stations the show was created after Dees's station KIIS dropped American Top 40 in a dispute over the playing of network commercials. In a short time, he turned KIIS-FM into the #1 revenue-generating radio station in America, with an asset value approaching half a billion dollars. When KHJ switched to country music, Dees left KHJ, taking a morning position at KIIS-FM in July 1981. Dees helped their ratings, but AM music radio was rapidly losing ground to FM.

The success of Dees at their Memphis radio station, combined with his TV appearances and hit music, motivated station owner RKO General to offer Rick the morning radio show in Los Angeles at 93KHJ AM. After a 45-day non-compete clause in his contract was satisfied, Dees was hired by RKO Radio to do the morning show at WHBQ AM 560 in Memphis. The tour went from Disney World to New York, NY, billed as Rick Dees and The Cast of Idiots. Chesney had done some comedic voices for Dees prior to Disco Duck. The duck vocals were recorded at Shoestring Productions in Memphis, Tennessee by Ken Pruitt, who moved away before the song became popular, and the vocals for the duck were done by Michael Chesney of Memphis for the concert tour. Dees did not perform the actual duck vocals on the song since he could not "talk like a duck". The station manager said it was a conflict of interest. Dees was fired from WMPS when he mentioned that his song, "Disco Duck", was almost number 1, and his own radio station would not let him play it. While this platinum recording earned him a People's Choice Award for Favorite New Song, and the BMI Award for record sales in one year, Dees was expressly forbidden from playing the song on the air by station management (rival stations refused to play it for fear of promoting their competition). The song can be heard in Saturday Night Fever, in a brief scene in which a group of older people were learning to "move their feet to the disco beat". His introduction to the international entertainment arena began while working at WMPS AM 680 ("The Great 68") in Memphis, Tennessee, during the disco craze of the mid-to-late-1970s, when he wrote and recorded " Disco Duck" in 1976, that sold more than 6 million copies. He worked for various radio stations throughout the southeastern United States, including WCAR (now known as WXYC) in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, WSGN in Birmingham, Alabama, and WKIX in Raleigh, North Carolina.
