“For more than one and a half years, Skala FM’s new sound has been in the making. It may seem like a long time, but the process of making the right decision was very important for us. We knew roughly what we wanted, but how did it fit into our core-listeners mind? Would our thoughts and desires repel or attract them?

The process started with listening to jingles from all over the world in order to gather the elements that best suited for us and then presenting it in focus groups throughout the winter of 2010. More than 100 listeners were invited. They gave their opinion about jingles and imaging, and it turned out to be beneficial for the station.

We knew some things from the previous package that worked well for our station should be integrated into our new package. (I think there are very few stations that are lucky to have listeners sing the top of hour when they see a logo for the station, or meet one of the DJs somewhere.)

Once all the lessons learned from the focus groups were brought to the table, we made a 15-page brief to Wise Buddah who produced package. The jingles, the instruments and the style were explained down to the smallest detail so it was easy and understandable to work with.

After 6 months we finished composing the package, so we headed out to a studio in Denmark, far out in the country to do the vocal session. After 3 days of singing and fun with the company of good friends we were ready to head back to the studio in London to mix the package.

The result – Skala FM 2012

The project may seem like it took a very long time, but the more I think of the way we did it, the more convinced I am we did the right thing. One thing is to call a jingle-company and order a new jingle package, another thing is to actually work with the composer and get him to understand our thoughts.

To work with such dedicated people just makes the process so much easier.

Everytime I listen to my jingles I get a feeling of ‘we’ve hit the exact 2012-sound for our station’. There´s nothing left to chance. And I´m sure the sound will take us onto the next level imaging-wise.”

Morten can be reached at mop@jv.dk should you wish to discuss or find out any more about the process.

NRJ France comes to PURE Jingles about once a month to produce a batch of 5 Power Intros. To make these intros match seamlessly with the other on-air imaging made by PURE Jingles, the producers use legendary French voice over Richard Darbois and the same vocalists of the jingle package.

Not only is NRJ’s logo sung, in most cases the music gets tweaked, filtered and ‘unique-a-fied’ as well. The producers find matching sounds to sneak the instrumental NRJ logo into the intro.
Apart from NRJ, French regional station Radio Scoop has started to use custom made PURE Power Intros. Other stations have opted for vocal kits that provide sung elements which creative directors can use by themselves.

“PPM-friendly jingles create a non-stop music flow, so people listen longer”

Rick Vaughn, Program Director of WKSC, Chicago, was an early believer in Microjams. He commented:

“Interruptions are death in a PPM world. Thanks to Microjams, the music never has to stop. These hot, quick IDs flawlessly transition between songs and they protect the integrity of my station’s music sweeps. I couldn’t live without Microjams and I told Dial-Global that they will have to pry them away from me! “

Chris Corcoran, Executive Vice President of Dial Global Affiliate Sales adds, “The Microjams custom package is super rich with content. Each station gets 24 original jams and each jam breaks down to three full mixes, three instrumental mixes, and three a cappella mixes. Plus, we add ten monthly Nano groove work parts. So, stations are getting the best custom produced music imaging package available anywhere.”

Microjams is the brainchild of the legendary producer Dave Kampel who has voiced or imaged many influential contemporary stations including WHTZ, New York and KIIS, Los Angeles.

Stations interested in Microjams can email TM Studios at Microjams@tmstudios.co or call at 212-419.2926 to find more information and to hear fresh samples Because they are custom, it is advised that stations reserve their market immediately.

Jonathan Wolfert and his wife Mary Lyn founded the company in 1974 (the name JAM is an acronym for “Jon and Mary Lyn”). Although they started by working out their apartment, the business quickly grew into a suite of offices, then a studio, and ultimately a custom building with two spacious recording studios. During the past 35 years of JAM jingles have been used by legendary stations around the world.

Check out the full 35 Anniversary Feature on JAM’s website at www.jingles.com.

As well as providing jingles for a myriad of radio stations around the world, across all formats, JAM has also ventured into jingle producing for television. In November of 1990, JAM produced a set of customized jingles for the music video cable network VH1. The idea somehow sprung from integrating music videos and station ID. Performers on the video were made to lip-sync to the JAM jingles.

Watch VH1 Station IDs using their custom JAM Jingles below

Thanks to its global partners, JAM’s international presence is still on up until today. S2Blue is the representative for the jingle company as well as PAMS in the UK and Eire. In the last few months we have resung JAM packages for UK stations Fresh & Wayland Radio. We have also resung some classic PAMS cuts for Radio 2’s Johnnie Walker and even recorded some PAMS jingles at Abbey Road’s Studio 2 for Manx Radio’s ‘Carnaby Street’ Show (more information at: http://www.s2blue.com/Showcase-Imaging-PAMS.aspx)

Sandy believes people are going to really enjoy this album.

“Chris and I have worked very hard to rework the most popular parody songs played out on his Radio 1 show and take them to a whole new level. Every track has been recorded from scratch and several tracks feature guest appearances from the likes of Ricky Wilson (Kaiser Chiefs), Calvin Harris and more. In addition, we’ve written a number of brand new tracks including the very catchy ‘It’s Never Gonna Snow At Christmas’ which should get everyone in a festive mood! Whether you are familiar with Chris’s parody songs or not, this album will make you laugh out loud”

Chris Moyles – The Parody Album was produced by Sandy Beech and Chris Moyles, recorded, mixed and mastered here at Music 4 Studios with additional recording undertaken at Abbey Road Studios.

It’s also a great time for Jewellers to advertise too! Christmas gifts for loved ones and new winter stock, not to mention big sales promotions come Boxing Day!
