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. http://audio.bostonradio.org/98caaabd-b353-11d8-9fd3-00904703287b.ogg 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 WTMJ: http://audio.bostonradio.org/151300c9-d2fb-11d8-b318-00904703287b.ogg. One of my current AM favorites (in no small part because the jock is a friend of mine) is this one from suburban Pittsburgh: http://audio.bostonradio.org/5e05f288-0f32-11d9-8341-00904703287b.ogg Other AM IDs I like: WGAN: http://audio.bostonradio.org/a725990d-b9b8-11d8-a5c8-00a0cc584130.ogg WHP: http://audio.bostonradio.org/e43540b8-ae0d-11d8-9fd3-00904703287b.ogg WICC: http://audio.bostonradio.org/795fdf00-ac3e-11d8-9fd3-00904703287b.ogg WPTF: http://audio.bostonradio.org/c8c5f3ba-ac32-11d8-9fd3-00904703287b.ogg CKAC: http://audio.bostonradio.org/03ff251e-b37e-11d8-9fd3-00904703287b.ogg HJJX: http://audio.bostonradio.org/aaafc718-b43a-11d8-9fd3-00904703287b.ogg WBAP: http://audio.bostonradio.org/8524cdd4-b052-11d8-9fd3-00904703287b.ogg WLS: http://audio.bostonradio.org/bb53a9b7-b835-11d8-b318-00904703287b.ogg WTIC: http://audio.bostonradio.org/7691e987-af81-11d8-9fd3-00904703287b.ogg WWWE: http://audio.bostonradio.org/11ab4ddc-af8b-11d8-9fd3-00904703287b.ogg WBT: http://audio.bostonradio.org/3a406b86-ac30-11d8-9fd3-00904703287b.ogg WOWO: http://audio.bostonradio.org/d453893e-af7e-11d8-9fd3-00904703287b.ogg WTSN: http://audio.bostonradio.org/aeee4c98-b43f-11d8-9fd3-00904703287b.ogg WNTA and WROK: http://audio.bostonradio.org/b2a4a65b-b9c0-11d8-b318-00904703287b.ogg WINY: http://audio.bostonradio.org/3f1f4659-b7f6-11d8-b318-00904703287b.ogg WNBP: http://audio.bostonradio.org/151655e0-d2da-11d8-b318-00904703287b.ogg For the other 1,500 or so you'll have to poke around the site. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.

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. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- If there's nothing that offends you in your community, then you know you're not living in a free society.
