Great memories when I heard fellow Lincoln HS alum and sportscaster Marv Albert broadcast the Knicks and Rangers, especially at the time the Knicks had their greatest era ever!
yea that's something i never understood with radio archivists.. they always use the wrong logo for airchecks after 1979 when NBC changed their logo to the Proud N, and 66 WNBC changed to a wordmark-based logo. Out of all WNBC logos, why that one? i thought people hated the trapezoid N..
@Ellis Feaster Comparing the instrumentals of those early WNBC jingle packages that were made by TM back in the 70s to the next packages that were created during the 80s by JAM Creative and the re-sing of the "Time Machine" package produced by PAMS in 1986, I can say that both TM and JAM were classy back in the time, but I agree that PAMS and JAM did better on this. Especially that they were not trying to be short, fast, energetic, way too powered, over too many musical elements from the age, weak and generic, but instead sounding different, exciting, variable, in many correct options of tempo and measures of their musical production beds and especially, proud of the music that a radio station like WNBC plays for example, understanding what really is the adaptable value and the format that the station identifies itself in its full core and potential.
Thanks for the post Ellis, but I still think JAM Creative would blow these packages away. Granted JAM Creative did not come into existence until late 1974.
agreed. And TM did produce some great packages in the 1970's. Friends, You, Igniter, The Alternative I think were among their best. TM seem to be the Reelworld in its heyday.
@@kefas2playpama04 Not really. JAM is the continuation of Bill Meeks vision of jingles carried on by Jon Wolfert. Not just imaging but works of art in their own right. It was Wolfert who was mentored by Meeks.
The 1970-72-73 jingle packages all have maybe 1-2 ones with some sort of hook, but the rest of the efforts are so bland, as if they were specifically trying not to be WABC (which they'd change in '74 when they signed Bruce Morrow and went all-in on attracting a younger demo). The quick five-second jingle at 8:05 is my favorite here.
This could be the same package that KDKA in Pittsburgh used in the early 70's. Ellis, I love your videos! Do you have anything from The Big K, or the TM Century "You" jingles that were resung by the Doobie Brothers?
I don't have any of the Big K packages, but I do have about 4 or 6 differnt versions of TM's You, but I don't know if they are the Doobie Brothers resings. I have to find them, but I think I have it for WFIL, WFTL, WWBZ, KXYZ, KFRC, CFUN, & CFRA. I'll try to post them, when I find them.

"It's got BALLS!" Program directors skewed male, back then.
Yes they did! You'd never hear that on a demo crossing your desk today.
Note the infamous N logo!

@@radiosaido66I mean I kinda like it 😅
@@OrangeBoiiii tbh me too such a neat little logo
Wouldn't happen to have TM's 1979 Best Things In Life jingle demo layin' around, wouldja?
Aaron Handy III sorry, I don't. I wish I did.

Granted I like the Children's Chorus cut. 08:31
These early 70s WNBC packages always seemed kind of week to me. Thank goodness better packages were to come.

@Don McCullin But in the olden age until 1974, PAMS was "THE" predecessor to JAM Creative, also known as they were the "JAM of the 1960s"!

That moment when he talks about balls and the porno guitar kicks into high gear...clutch.

Pam's were the best
@stripervince1 So as JAM Creative Productions, they were also the best of it's kind back then!
