A sports radio station here in Dallas (1310AM/96.7FM The Ticket) has been using Winning Ticket from JAM (http://jingles.com/audio/d_WinningTicket.mp3) for the past 12 years. (12!)

On Thursday, the station started using a new package. (Can’t tell yet who makes the new one. Any help?!)

The change affected the afternoon guys so much, they used an entire segment to discuss it! Plus they had fun with some “rejected” music beds.

It was fun hearing the personalities discuss with their listeners “the change” and the overall nature of the biz.

…and it turns out the morning guys were discussing the new jingles too. (But they played them a lot more than the afternoon guys.)

haha, but how come one the one hand, Fox News blur out the breasts in its report on the record $179M sale of Picasso’s Women of Algiers, while a radio station can play what sounded like the soundtrack of a sex scene from a pornographic film?

I’m sure there are plenty of examples of double standards in the UK media as well.. but this just struck me as I was reading about the Fox news coverage while listening to “The Hardline” clip.

Crazy

Sounds like it could be TM Studios?
Some of their sports/talk packages aren’t bad at all.

It’s TM. The Ticket and TM are both owned by Cumulus, and Cumulus is starting to require their stations to only use TM.

Haha! Oops. I should have put a warning in my original post. “WARNING. You’re about to hear porn music.” If you kept listening, they used the porn track again for the traffic report, causing the traffic anchor to be very upset! But yes, plenty of double standards with the media. The Hardline is raunchy and hilarious, and I love listening to them! In fact, for my drive home from work, they hardly talk about sports on the sports station!

Thanks. Part of me wanted it to be JAM due to tradition, but deep down, I had a feeling it was TM! (The music beds are very TM’ish.)
