- This is a behind the scenes look at the creation of a new jingle for WABC radio in New York by JAM Creative Productions in Dallas. It follows the progress of one particular jingle (#121) which was produced along with many others, and became part of our "Top News" package. The recording sessions shown were held in November 2005.
This is a condensed version of a similar documentary we released on our "Jingles With Vision" DVD, which is available on our website via The JAM Store. JAM has done jingles for WABC since the 1970s, when it was still a music station. Today WABC broadcasts news and talk programs.
As WABC’s Senior Production Engineer at this time, I was the first one who got to process this jingle, after Johnny Donovan had taken care of our local production on it. My job was to check for quality, time it, and load it into WABC’s ENCO digital storage system for air play. I truly have to say that your WABC
I think this must be THE best news jingle ever made by JAM - we bought it for our internet station Solid Gold Gem AM in November 2012 and the re-sing is SUPERB.
Wow it’s so amazing how talented these musicians are. Jobs like this have to be so far and few between nowadays
People just don't realize how much work goes into what we hear on the radio. This is absolutely AWESOME. Thanks for this!📻🎤🎧🎙🎶
Gotta agree -- JAM and PAMS -- fantastic. That WABC "signature" has been around since the rocker days of Dan Ingram and Cousin' Brucie.
"77, WABC" Go Go.
I remember this jingle from about 07/08 when Imus moved over. When they played it before the noon hour (I think)... They plugged the big names of the station over the beginning of the jingle. It was something like "Your home for Sliwa, Harvey, Gambling, Rush, Hannity and now... Imus in the morning..." And then the singing part of the jingle, followed by the news.
I have been in radio for 35 years, and i am still amazed at the work and detail it takes to put these together, this vedio is fantastic, thanks for posting this. Michael Burns - Boston, MA
this is why jam is top class when you want jingles, done right!
Thanks for an amazing behind-the-scenes look at an easy sounding, but extremely difficult procedure with something that turned out absolutely perfect!
JAM / PAMS makes the best jingles. European radios have been trying to copy them for decades, always failing to get the sleek awesomeness that you guys make! Making radio awesome for over 50 years!
It's 2AM and, as usual, I am up in the middle of the night. I refreshed my UA-cam home page and there is Jon staring at me. I thought of 1969 and one day when I wandered into WNTC at Clarkson and Rick Glasby introduced me to Johnny Jingle as we got to know him, a soft-spoken student from Long Island. A few weeks later, I figured out why his nickname was Johnny Jingle when I saw him behind a Revox B-77 and listened to the jingles that he put together in his spare time while still going to class and doing all the things that Freshmen at Clarkson did. It was great to see your face again--it was just like meeting you for the first time all those years ago!!!
I love this, simply amazing 👍👍👍!!! Since I was a child I used to pay attention to the radio and this beautiful little songs that identify the radio station from USA, greetings from Tabasco México.
Love this! How the sausage is made. JAM, PAMS, all gems of the trade. I could watch videos like this ("the making of ____'s jingles") all night. This one is exceptionally well put together, telling the story. Great job, JAM!
There is so much work that goes in to these jingles.... ❤️
My little dream was.. I wanna be one of the singers....
So glad they brought a modified version of this back. Feels right for 77 wabc
Please bring music back to your WABC,, That is what you all need more than just good jingles!! Used to be the greatest!
Best jingle Best JAM,from Brazil.
WABC has brought back this jingle at the top of the hour, but it's a resing that says just "New York" instead of "New York City" at the end. Not sure why they made that change, but great to hear it anyhow.
great stuff. Was a big ABC listener in their Top 40 days. Actually got to sit in on Cousin Brucie show 2x as a 14 and 15 year old.
