Has anyone come across any classic WCBS-FM PAMS jingles other than the “Goldmine” package? I’ve searched extensively and have only found the Goldmine jingles. I believe one of the other packages that PAMS created for CBS-FM was called “Memory Bank.”

Many of the ’70s jingles were re-sung for CBS-FM in the mid ’90s. I also believe that the PAMS “shotguns” were used in CBS-FM’s final jingle package.

Goldmine was actually a PAMS custom grid produced for WCAU-FM in Philadelphia. In addition, WCBS had a around four custom packages produced for them by PAMS over the years.

Further, there were resings of PAMS “numbered” series done over the years by both CPMG/PAMS… and later by the JAM incarnation of PAMS.

Memory Bank was a contest written for KYA by PAMS… which WCBS-FM never bought. Oh…. I should also mention that there was a resing of a PAMS Series 24 cut done early this year for a Tax Refund contest.

You’ll have to be more specific as to what exactly you’re looking for.

Thanks…

I found a listing of all PAMS jingles created for “W” stations. According to this, the following packages were created for WCBS-FM:

WCBS-FM PAMS GOLDMINE
WCBS-FM PAMS IV (1974)
WCBS-FM PAMS custom V
WCBS-FM PAMS MEMORY BANK
WCBS-FM PAMS CUSTOM ’73
WCBS-FM PAMS CUSTOM ’74
WCBS-FM PAMS SONOVOX LINERS
WCBS-FM PAMS GOLD EVOLUTION
WCBS-FM CPMG PAMS RESINGS
WCBS-FM PAMS II; NY NY; Shotguns

Perhaps a sound clip is worth a thousand words. Below are the five jingles that I have managed to find:

http://www.farmingdaleweather.net/audio/4.mp3
http://www.farmingdaleweather.net/audio/5.mp3

Thanks again for your help.

I don’t know where your list came from…. However…

1.mp3 is one of the early PAMS customs
2.mp3 is the CPMG/PAMS Series 29 scat cut
3.mp3 is the CPMG/PAMS Goldmine resings
4.mp3 is the CPMG/PAMS Series 27 cut
5.mp3 is another CPMG/PAMS Series 27 cut

Thanks for identifying these jingles…I was unaware of the number of different packages WCBS-FM used in the ’70s. I assumed there would be a single package, such as “Do It Again” in the ’90s.

By the way, the list I posted earlier is from this website:
