        I found I do, in fact, have the Heller “Point One of Y” custom package for YNY. I’ll get to MP3ing them. jj

        I remember hearing a “WYNY…Point One New York” jingle around 1986-1987. Was that from this package? Can’t wait to hear it!

          Nobody has mentioned the Cumulus acquisition of WMAL a long time talker in D.C.
          They are really pushing their FM at 105.9. Capital residents can now hear Rush and Sean in stereo.

              currently in a soft launch this Sunday it’s really bad sounding for a cbs station, reminds one of a college station..audio processing is awful.
              streaming is up and running

                  The full Heller Corp demo for WYNY from the latter part of the 1980’s. Many edited cuts from older custom packages used along with “Heller Hooks” of popular songs of the day.

                    I guess no one cared; no comments what so ever. (except for Lou)

                      I care, I’ve got a comment – these jingles are very interesting. Sometimes, they definitely sound “late 80s,” and other times, they sound quite dated (makes sense if they reused old tracks). Kind of reminds me of when Century 21 first went back into station jingles around this same time, doing new sings over old C21 and Parma tracks.

                      And I had no idea that anybody tried to resurrect the “Pop Tops” concept in the late 80s. This is also probably the only time I’ve heard lead-OUT cuts, not just lead-IN ones.

                      What does “97 point one of y/why” MEAN? Sure, Heller lyrics were often kind of cryptic, but this positioner just baffles me.

                      I really enjoy hearing the rarities/obscurities/overlooked stuff from your collection. 80s jingles that aren’t from JAM or TM tend to get neglected. I’m intrigued whenever I hear stuff from Otis Conner, HLC or Heller. (Actually, these have kind of an HLC vibe to them – probably because these have many of the same singers, Ron Hicklin included…)

                        I believe the “answer” to the “point one of WHY’ lies in the narrative at the beginning of the demo. Sort of. Heller always had a way of toying with the listener. He also reused jingles constantly. Can’t count how many times “electric mamma” was reused.
                        I’m glad you cared enough to comment.
