Jones TM Custom Jingles
On May - 12 - 2008
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.
Radio Imaging – Will Networking Kill Creative?
On May - 11 - 2008
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.

A big thanks and congratulations to Chris Stevens and the creative team at LITEHouse Studios (www.litehousestudios.com) for customizing the WLIT logo for ‘the new’ Pennine FM in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, England. Now, we all know for a fact, that LITEHouse Studios’ jingle package was dummied only WLIT.
