Not sure if this fits the exact description… but WGN Chicago (primarily a news/talk station) is currently using a JAM composite package of cuts from both news/talk packages like Top News, Talktrax, Talking Points AND cuts from Top 40/AC and Oldies packages such as Follow The Leader, Variety Pack, Non-Stop Power, Back Seat Music, Nothing But Class, and others.

I may post some of their fantastic JAM re-sings in a montage at some point here on the forum if that sounds interesting? My collection is just recorded from WGN’s stream but they sound great… and they just recently added some new ones from JAM about a month ago! The first part of their package was done in Fall 2019.

After Burner is definitely quite a versatile package, and works well on Classic Hits/’80s stations, as well as Country.

Other than that, I feel like some cuts from JAM’s Country packages from the late ’90s (Overdrive, Full Access, Country Buzz) could work well on Classic Hits today. Some cuts from Talk packages of that era like Hot Buttons, Attitude Control, and Data Seek could also work for that purpose. And throw Evolver in there too (in fact I’ve heard some stations use beds from that package as weather cuts).

Another example is TM’s Mix 107.3 packages, which ended up working well for Classic Hits 94.7 The Drive in Washington DC. The WPLJ packages of the ’90s also got used on Oldies stations at the time, and could still work for Classic Hits today.

Any theoretical examples?

[JustinSaysRadio]

Any examples that have not been tried, but would still sound good, such as the WJXA 2004 package being used on an Urban AC station or Reelworld One AC on an Adult Top 40 station?

[ntcarver0Member]

I always thought Hit Power/Hit Country, Hot Wired and Maximum Power would work well on classic hits stations depending on the playlist.

WNSR Sports radio in Nashville is using Jam Top News package. The sign of excellent jingle aka JAM/TM is that can do jingle packages that multi functional. That is why they are the best!!!

[JustinSaysRadio]

Any hypothetical examples modern jingle companys, such as Reelworld?

[glen]

There is more jingle companies besides RW, that are modern. And alot better vocals a instrumentation.

Brandy’s Kick Up packages, which were originally intended for CHR, sound quite good on AC WNIC. I think Ignite KROC wouldn’t be a bad choice for an AC station that wants a more upbeat sound, either.

You are definitely right there Glen…Or as I like to call them Squeelworld!

[glen]

Pete ; Fingernails on a chalkboard is good term for RW also.

[JustinSaysRadio]

I just meant Reelworld as an example. I also was thinking about Brandy and WiseBuddah.

Not sure if this is the type of thing you’re looking for, but ReelWorld’s KIIS LA 2004 (CHR) was being used on WLTW New York (AC) in early 2019. You can hear those cuts as part of this montage.

Just curious: Do you have an aircheck of them using any of these packages, including their Reelholiday resing?

[mjb1124Member]

Not an aircheck, but here’s a montage of their 2012 jingles.

[ntcarver0Member]

What was B101’s format?

Edit: Right, I’m dumb. Google is my friend. WBEB is an AC station.

This is from their usage of the Triple Kiss package from Reelworld.

Here’s an interesting one. TM’s Metroplex was originally demoed as a classic hits package, but now it’s listed on the TM Heritage page as an AC package. Uncountry uses the same backing tracks and is marketed at (surprise) country stations. As far as I can hear, the only differences between the packages are very minor changes in instrumentation, a change in logo, and what sounds like a slightly different vocal group.

JAM Breakthrough was on KMLE in the 90’s.

When I worked for Country WGNA-FM Albany, NY, in 1993-94 we used Thompson Creative jingles for the first time. WGNA used cuts from both Thompson Creative packages Houston Mix I & II, CHR packages for Mix 96.5 Houston. Thompson Creative also marketed those cuts on their “Country Jingles” CD Demo. It was know as “Albany’s Hot New Country”

Here’s the demo feating the WGNA-FM cuts.

Richie – how do you get your S/c link to stay “private”?
If I do that it doesn’t allow access from JM!

Hi Iain, I just corrected it and made the link public, hopefully you should beable to play it now. 🙂

[IainJohnston]

Slight confusion here Richie!

I WAS able to play yours no bother, even though it was originally flagged as “private”.

I CAN get MY S/c links to work as “public”, as anybody can.
BUT I cannot get my “private”-flagged links to work here, as seen by the S/C “not valid” message above.

Yet somehow, you’re able to manage it.
I cannot fathom out where I’m going wrong! (and its only since the JM system rebuild).

PS – I preferred “private” mode, which could only be “read” from specific links (i.e. on JM)
as opposed to “public” ones, why attract all sorts of “heid cases” and unwanted “followers”
who have no interest in jingles per se>
