Hard to believe it's been nearly 5 years since the fantastic JAM Country Proud package was released, but KFKF, Kansas City has replaced it with a resing of Reelworld WYCD Detroit.

I captured these cuts off of a less-than-stellar stream tonight.

UGH!!!! And I liked their JAM package too!

What goes around comes around … and all that. To my ears big stations diminish themselves when they go for an existing ReelWorld package: they sound just like any neighbourhood radio station. But times are hard, and PDs change, and JAM's doing interesting stuff elsewhere in lots of major markets, so I guess we should just be pleased that stations are still seeing that jingles are important in identifying a station, irrespective of who makes them.

I guess you're right on that one. Sorry that I made my rant here, folks!

ok. up til here, i was unaware of reelworld. so i listened. i listened to lots of their stuff. they get it. they know what a jingle is all about, unlike those 'jellymills' out there.

so the switch HAS to be a plus to the stations air product.

I always prefered the WYCD stuff from TM – especially thier last package. I like RW but some of those just sounded a bit screechy.

Definitely a disappointment to hear the JAM stuff go- much better then these RW resings. They were barely using the JAM cuts towards the end though.

Strangly, the Country Proud package had passed me by until recently. Only just gave it a listen.

It's BRILLIANT. One of the strongest audio logos I've heard. And would work perfectly for a podcast I'm planning, if I could scrape together the money for a couple of cuts…
