        Well, at least they are going from one JAM station to another. KJOY uses Ready Mix if I am not mistaken.

          I thought KJOY ( K-Joy 99-3 started to use ReelWorld after Lite 102.9 Sharlet did a few weeks ago?

          I'm really confused here.

            We really meant WKJY “K-Joy” 98.3 from Long Island.

              What Jingle company does WKJY use?

                KJOY Long Island is using JAM. Here's two cuts recorded last night:

                    How odd to see a US “W”-station (WKJY call letters, surely cannot be KJOY) calling itself a name that suggests a “K” call – unless of course its nearly 90 years old and has a “heritage” call from before the West/East allocation donkeys years ago!

                      Must came after KDKA which was the first station in US. And WOAI in San Antonio Texas.

                        There's quite a few stations with the “wrong” K/W calls. For example, here in Dallas we've got WRR 101.1, WBAP 820AM, and WFAA television… all in a sea of “K” calls.

                          Right enough, there's lots of them – but I understand that they all date back a very, very long way indeed, and modern new-assignment calls have to nowadays fit the general pattern AFAIK.

                          (Other “ancient” K-calls very far east of the Mississipi (the notional but slightly flexible dividing line) included KQV Pittsburgh and KYW Philadelphia)

                          A Test question for call-letter anoraks!:-
                          What is probably the rarest call-prefix (i.e. fewest stations) in North America?

                            does anyone know what WKJY/WKJI KJOY LONG ISLAND uses now? switched away from JAM it sounds like.

                              You had me worried for a moment… but I'm listening to the stream now and they're still using JAM.

                                  ohh because JAM doesn't have the new kjoy package posted on their website? that's so weird! I wanted to give a listen! it's not the same ready:mix package that they normally use.

                                    how do u feel about the wwfs new jingles from REEL?

                                    i think it's better than the other ones (they put me too sleep!) LOLOLOL!!!

                                      As ever with ReelWorld, I think they make small stations sound bigger and big stations sound smaller. For me, they're better on hot A/C formats than stations like Fresh.

                                        I am wondering if KJOY Long Island indeed is using its new custom JAM package introduced earlier this year. All I know is that they were using the cuts from past AC packages, but the logo melody in each of them sounds different. The logo sounds similar to the old Windy 100 package from Reelworld.

                                          Yea it does! I wish jam would release the package to listen!
