CKLW's IDs certainly were the best of their time, Lee. Ken R in Toledo has all
of the CK jingles on a CD....well worth the price, I might add.

Also among my fave IDs were those on WHYT/Detroit during its Hot Hits heyday
and the Hitradio incarnation, and WCZY 95.5 FM's IDs when Gannett owned it.

They just don't make catchy IDs like those anymore. Kinda sad, but that's the
way our biz is now.

Hey Everyone,
Do any of you have them on CD? Tape? Record? Please let me know. If
anyone has any please contact me. I will be excited if you could mail
them to me.

My favorite in the 70's was Mel Blanc and KDAY as Sylvester the cat.

"You're listening to KDAY. Yesssththth. "Kay-Day"! Sssth-th-th-
thSantaMonica! "

These two had thundering voices reading:

"The Spirit of New England, WBZ Boston, Group W Westinghouse Broadcasting"

__ oclock, Someplace Special, (instrumental of call sign jingle) 1020 KDKA
Pittsburgh, Group W, Westinghouse Broadcasting.

and a local one had the local jock had to read (I/m not kidding)

AM 13 WWCH Clarion, its __ oclock, a good time for Mongs milk, fresh from

You can't forget the classic:

Anchor: K-Y-W newstime...
FX: BOOP
Anchor: ...XXX o'clock.
Stentorian Announcer Voice: All news, all the time.
Jingle singers: K-Y-W, Newsradio, 10-60
S.A.V.: From Independence Mall, this is News Radio, K-Y-W Philadelphia,
10-60 on your dial, a Group W Westinghouse Broadcasting
Station, serving Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware, in
A-M stereo.

IIRC, Mr. Stentorian Announcer Voice, the long-time imaging voice of
KYW radio and television, died this year. Not quite Jim Clancy, but
great pipes nonetheless.

All of the WINS IDs I've heard (in the modern era, anyway) were read
by the outgoing news anchor. In market #1 the station which had the
most presence in its legal ID was WCBS, as witness
http://audio.bostonradio.org/1ad39f32-af7f-11d8-9fd3-00904703287b.ogg.
(Other CBS all-newsers of the mid-90s tended to jingle.)

Unfortunately most all-news and news-talk stations these days seem to
think it's "undignified" to jingle, although I'm told KFBK in
Sacramento
(http://audio.bostonradio.org/8d336817-aecb-11d8-9fd3-00904703287b.ogg,
recorded in 1997) is still an exception, as is Milwaukee's heritage

One of my current AM favorites (in no small part because the jock is a
friend of mine) is this one from suburban Pittsburgh:

You know, I think I might still have a dub of the jingle package that KDKA ran in
that period. Or was it the electronic one in the several years before? Not that
you'd know...just muttering to myself. I may even have the 15ips master for the
electronic set, having dubbed it also before I took them both, as I didn't have a
15ips reproducer at home. I'm remembering jock shouts, too.

I'll have to look. I'd imagine that there would be a few people here who would be
interested in what I find. Nostalgia, however, isn't what it used to be.

For direct replies, take out the contents between the hyphens. -Really!-

I worked the signoff and Sunday AM shifts at AM13 in 1983 and 84. Thanks for the great memory! Yes, we really did have to say that. I miss small town radio.....Och's (Ox) Lumber, Kerle (Carly) Tire, DuBois (Do Boys)....those were the days.

Back in the day - stations such as 14 KQV AM and WPEZ FM often times tried to see who could out do each other.

Even WYDD and sister station of KQV - WDVE Pittsburgh's Rockers - would ID every 15 minutes or so...

Things like Cheech and Chong saying WDVE Picksburgh, or 102.5 WDVE / DVE Rocks U Rocks U Rocks U Rocks u......

WPEZ eventually becomming WBZZ and stations moving up and down the dial or going off the air entirely.

The creme always rises to the top, while the turds goes down the drain...
