This is the first time I've heard this in full. I know this Jingle Package started out as a TV Theme at WFAA in Dallas TX and grew to other stations. I'm so glad the Klaus has never changed to another Jingle Package. This is jingle package will is WNIR and always will be.
About 1987 '88? I remember listening to "Dial A Date" on the drive home from work and hearing this jingle sometimes 3 or 4 times in a row when Jim was taking a bathroom break or outside for a smoke. I'll probably be singing this in the nursing home someday, burned in permanently.
Hey Akron .. You’ve got it!

I loved this talk radio station! They kept me company while I welded all day.

Brilliant - great writing + what a vocal group !!
Someone posted an aircheck on jinglemad.com of this being used in 2018! I miss hearing jingles like this, on both radio and TV.
As of 2019 the jingle package is still being used.
Reminds me of my youth listening to Joe Finan and Howie Schleiznak (Chizek)
Awesome! I still know all the words.
