Jon Wolfert, president of JAM (the biggest jingle creator/producer in the country) starts a LIVE show tomorrow (Saturday) on Rewound Radio. He'll be on after my live show at 5PM (E).
After his first show tomorrow, Jon will continue his series of live Rewound Radio shows on Sundays.
Jon will be doing a DJ show so he'll be playing music plus he'll also be doing special segments on the radio jingles. If you've got a request for a classic jingle you'd like him to play, you can do it via the special link we've set up (see below).
Jon has done other shows on Rewound Radio but this is a live show which makes it more fun for listeners and also for him! The best radio is done live (as I think everyone on the NYRMB knows!).

This is the Board link, and a site ALWAYS worth having wander around, and that includes UK and others visiting too!

Wonder what the "jingle bits" Jon is going to do will be about?
He's told so many anecdotes before on so many occasions, yet his wealth of "jingle knowledge" is mind-boggling!
Jon on Rewound June 2
Best it does is offer G00gle search and ends up on the Rewound site but no-show of the aircheck.
(Unless some kind of geo- or other blocking to UK ? )
I don't know what went wrong, but here's the link:

There's another show on Sunday.
Recorded much of it, but had a number of the "buffering incidents" similar to the situation reported last week.
Possibly due to how fragile all those little packets of glued-together-data are travelling thousands of miles
from NY to UK but possibly Jon may again provide a scoped version?
as on many jingle (and other) websites back in the dial-up era!
:^)
PS - the interview with Geoff Fox (Foxx?) was far more interesting than I expected - worth remembering
that many "dee-jays" of the hey-day of US Top 40 radio were far more versatile (and indeed talented)
than many of today's bland FacePalm/TooYube-dependent "presenters".
And the "thrill" the guy got on for the first time having a station get him a jingle actually with HIS name sung on it!
(...and REAL name at that, rather than the generic plug-in names used by many stations in the past, e.g. a particular
group of stations used the name "Johnny Dark" for their night-time DJs on every station, even if one left and other
person took over the slot the "name" remained the same).
A highly-commended listen!
Unfortunally I missed the first 30 minutes and last hour.
Does anyone recorded the show or maybe have a scoped aircheck?
Thanks,
Peter

This was recorded from "the air" (the stream) and there were a couple of times where it dropped out and we had to just slap together what was left.
Please keep the scoped airchecks coming
I enjoyed the inside jingle stories and the background info on specific jingles/packages. Jon has also great DJ scales (knowledge of the music, talking over intros .e.t.c.).
Maybe choosing an other radio automation system, but you can't have it all :-)
