Default Media Preservation Foundation web page update

The Media Preservation Foundation web page www.jingles.org has been
expanded to include audio files of jingles, links to other jingle web
pages and other radio related "curiosities".
The web page is :
http://www.jingles.org/mpf/mpfaudio.html

Since www.reelradio.com has such a large number of airchecks on line,
the Media Preservation Foundation will instead exhibit jingles,
commercials and other historically interesting audio files.

The first files include for the first time anywhere the early 1950's
Modernaires custom jingles for KLAC, out takers of the famous Drake
"Rum Pum" sessions of 1969, "inside the mix" PAMS cuts from Series
#18, #24, an others for KYLE and Jingles American Style Sampler -
Volume 1, a jingle sampler produced by jingle collector Fred Vobbe in
Ohio.

The audio section will be updated several times a month. The plan is
to add five to ten new audio files each month.

In addition, internet resources for radio historians and jingle
collectors, http://www.jingles.org/Links.htm, has been introduced.
This is both a links page and a data base page with information pulled
from the Foundation's paper archives. The most complete accounting of
TM Productions jingle packages is among the data base items.

The Media Preservation Foundation also has available the most complete
account of the history of radio ID jingles ever published: the book
"The Hits Between The Hits". It traces the post World War II growth of
local radio, the evolution of local programming, the roots
of Top 40 radio and the introduction and development of radio ID
jingles.
