          Love the energy of these, and comparing the clever differences between the full and FM-only versions.

            I think we heard some of these as on-air examples when they first appeared?

            They also “exhibit” one of the shortest yet most awkward words to “lyric” into a sung jingle!
            The dreaded “and”! :-D

            Especially if each “half” of the station names is a effectively a concise “logo” in its own right.
            “Joining them up” with a shout-ed “and” always seems jarring to my ears, but perhaps thats just me.

            Some UK JMers might remember how a Scottish station (who did their own in-house custom packages) got around it by singing the “and” within the flow of the overall melody but then emphasising the result with a strong “Together!” at the end of the cuts.

            Overall though, its a gutsy rock-y package that I’m sure will “work well” for stations with WFAN-style target audiences – the slightly older male “sports fan”.

              I read that it may be that the end game is to make WFAN FM only and use the famous 66 to syndicate their national sports radio service. So this is part of the move to promote local WFAN sport on FM. It’s been done in other cities but looks like they want to be careful with the heritage 66 WFAN.
              That’s why the main emphasis may be on the FM Freq as the join ones will retire leaving just the familiar distinctive FM only cuts airing.
              Lovely vocals and I love the rockier elements – of course they also sit as a nice extension and development of the previous packages.

                Track 13 is a killer talk up

                  I’m hearing that they’re now using the 101.9 FM-only cuts on the air, after having used the dual-frequency cuts for years. Guess that’s the end of the “66” logo melody that’s been heard on the AM frequency for nearly 50 years.

                    Question
                    Who is male solo vocalist in this package?
                    Thanks
