      Here are 6 jingles from WKBI-AM 1400 Saint Marys, PA. They are obviously quite a bit old and were used up until the 2012 sale from Cary Simpson/Allegheny Mountain Network to Denny Heindl’s 97.5 The Hound WDDH/Laurel Media, Inc.

      One or two are still used today during the satelitte standards format from Westwood One.

        My guess would be Gwinsound. Nice stuff for the time.

            Pretty sure these predate Freedman and are original Gwinsound jingles. The Freedman resings simply didn’t have this good of a harmony.

              Chris is right.. these predate Freedman.

              I have some similar jingles done by Gwinsound for WKBI’s one time sister station, WFRM 600… I’ll post those later.

                I was in radio when these were made, but not really privy to financial dealings. I assume considering the number of small markets that these were available by trade – out.

                  yup, im pretty sure these jingles were trade out.

                  and i bet if i looked into it further, WTRN 1340 Tyrone, PA along with WNBQ/WNBT Wellsboro, PA have probably used these jingles at one point… all sister stations to WKBI and WFRM

                    This is Gwinsound series 22 produced in the late 70’s. It sounded similar to “Getting back to basics” by TM. It was a trade with Demunck.

                      I love these jingles. I got some Ben resigns on these beds.
