Jones TM has recently added the four Vineyard Sound Studios packages to its portfolio of jingle packages. Kissville, LiteHouse, RhythMix and Young Guns now have their own folders on the Jingles section. Instead of the cut-by-cut listing though, each package is featured with station montages. For example, in the Litehouse package, you will hear montages for KVIL, KAOI, WZFJ, Pennine FM and WWSE. It’s a good way to preview how each package will sound in different call signs and formats.

In its effort to keep up with the modern approach in auditioning jingle demos online, JAM Creative Productions has just adopted new demo pages for its two jingle packages.
The Fresh N.Y. and Home of the Hits can now be accessed by either listening to the showreel or by playing the individual cuts through its own demo page. Upon clicking on the Fresh N.Y. package title, for example, you will be led to its own demo page that kind of resembles most of the demo sections of ReelWorld, IQ Beats and Jones TM websites.
You will be able to preview the package cut by cut through the mini flash players. On the upper right side of the page, you will also notice a logo section where you will be able to see the stations that syndicated the package.
Currently, there are only two Jam packages that have cut-by-cut demo pages. We’ll surely be expecting more packages at Jingles.com “demoed” with their individual tracks soon as most PDs these days prefer to preview jingle packages online.

Jones TM has just updated its website with a couple of packages — New England’s Best Country and Rock Radio. It’s interesting to know that despite the emergence of subscription-based jingle imaging services, there are still a number of stations that believe in the power of custom production.
WOKQ
And when it to custom jingles, nothing beats Jones TM. WOKQ recently went to Jones TM to update their jingles. The result is New England’s Best Country. And indeed, it is. The package is built upon the station’s core playlist. The jingles however are not the usual country-ish jingles. The tracks are powerful and flexible enough to blend seamlessly with different styles of country music.
The WOKQ logo melody is also based on the station’s previous Jones TM jingle package – Buzz Trax. Take a listen below to the WOKQ logo montaged side by side with the B101.5 logo from Buzz Trax.
Originally it was an art. In the days of fewer stations on the dial and no networking, you could get away with all sorts of long creative masterpieces. Partly because there was nothing else to lure your audience away, and partly because there were no constraints – let alone focus groups and marketing agency plans.
Then, the 90s arrived. Every sweeper had to be the same length, saying the same words, with possibly a different type of whoosh in the background. Your work would have exciting titles like “A2” or “B3”, and could suddenly be played out remotely, along with 20 other sweepers with the same words for other parts of the country. Woe betide you if it was more than exactly 7.0 seconds, and don’t even suggest sung jingles.
Now, in 2008, we’re about to enter a new phase of radio. More networking than ever before, more competition on the dial, and infinite competition off the dial. More revenue-generating contests, and less time to create the production.
