Thanks Matthew for letting me know about WFAS and WNNK.

Just heard the TOH jingle for WFAS and good to hear the voice of Brian James over the JAM jingle, here it is from the WFAS webstream.

That clip is from 103.9 WFAS-FM. Does WFAS AM 1230 use JAM also?

My station Stream SuperGold have only just started to use Dallas but not JAM.

I suppose that doesn't really count, does it hehehe

Just thought I'd join the debate!

That must be an old jingle from them. I'm sure they're far from number 1 in Westchester these days. I saw that they recently got rid of their local news.

Sounds like the one I heard.

This all feels a bit hysterical to me. I've been listening to Fresh NY and Chicago a lot and they're perfect background for working to. I think we have to accept that listeners use radio for different reasons these days. We listen to Fresh for upbeat A/C, not for personality jocks, etc. The conspiracy theory about the number of black artists seems to me spurious – is someone counting how many white artists are played on KISS?

We know that the Fresh stations are programmed by Gary Berkowitz, who is deep-rooted in great radio and knows what his audience likes – hence jocks who don't intrude, but say enough to make the station more personal than a JACK-clone; a music mix that is more upbeat; and – since Fresh is carving out a niche for itself which is different from LITE-fm – liners which keep reinforcing the way that the station isn't LITE.

Personally, I can't get too worried about the jocks not saying much: radio is for the listeners, not the presenters, and there are plenty of other stations to listen to with DJs saying what they want.

I think we should just be pleased that the JACK-fm experiment wasn't a hit. Listeners want SOME personality, but not too much; they want a station that delivers more than an iPod; and they appear to be enjoying the tightly-programmed sound that comes from music, low-key presenters, and great JAM jingles.

Love that TOH cut, btw, David – JAM on top form.

Dateline: Friday 14th March 2008…

The FRESH NY (WWFS) demo is now on the JAM website – good to hear the Columbus version for Sunny 95 and other resings too.

There is also WLYF in Miami

I think WLYF switched from JAM to Jones TM a few years back. They have a custom titled “South Beach” and “South Beach Update”

Other than that, none of the stations in the area I am living are airing JAM jingles. The only station I heard them using JAM is WOGL from Philadelphia, which I listen to them every time I travel there.

Fresh FM NY are JAM jingles. At least they still were when i asked Jon Wolfert 2 weeks ago : )

[theniceguy]

opps acidentally put a quote in which has nothing to do with my input.. sorry

[Barras]

Just for the record…WNNK in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania are using JAM and Brian James too.

WFPG Atlantic City, NJ

WEBE Bridgeport, CT(WEBE 108)

And there's an AC station out of Pittsburgh just switched from “Lite FM” to the new Q92.9 moniker. Their jingles they are using I believe is from JAM.

Just tuned into the former WLTJ. If they are indeed JAM, its not a package I recognize. But, I could be wrong.

WLTE 102.9 Lite FM in Minneapolis is also airing Jam jingles. They also stream live. I believe they are running the newer WNIC package.

Thanks Jeremiah for letting us know about WLTE. I`ve just jingle-airchecked the TOH cut from JAM and I don`t know what it is but I just love hearing American city names sung in a TOH jingle. I recently posted a TOH montage of stations from North-East England UK and the current British TOHs are crap compared to our American friends – listen to how the JAM singers sing “Minneapolis-St Paul” just pure class !!!

B107.9 from Columbus, OH is a 60s/70s/80s station like CBS-FM, and I've heard them using some Hot KIIS jingles.
