1010 WINS SOUNDER

N

Guest
Hi. I have, for some time, tried to find out the person or company who composed the sounder package (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TyKnrG9ujRM) that preceded the current Foster Kent package. To the best of my knowledge, the previous package was recorded in 1993 and was a replacement of the original sounder, which was composed by Ib Glindemann and used on 1010 WINS and on a television program called "Viewpoint on Nutrition". I contacted three possible composers (Charles Morrow, Bob Sakayama, and Frank Gari) and all said they did not compose it. I recently contacted Steve Swenson, who was station PD at the time. He forgot who composed the music, but told me the composer came from a production music company based in northern New Jersey or Brooklyn.

I want to find out who composed that linked sounder package. I also want to know who composed production music for 1010 WINS in the past. I want this post to stay in this forum and not be moved to the Production forum, since it will attract a larger audience that will make it more likely for me to find the answer. Thank you guys for your help.
 
How is it 22 minutes?
That doesn't go into a 60 minute hour?
Did their "clock" start six minutes later each hour for ten hours 2.4 times each day?

I believe each news cycle officially starts at :02. :22 and :42 after traffic and weather; first, local headlines, followed by national news of note, provided they're not extremely huge stories (see: Boston this week). Hence, their motto, "You give us 22 minutes, we'll give you the world."
 
So, traffic and weather are given twice during the 22 minutes, once at the beginning and once repeated at the end, each counting as parts of two adjacent 22 minute segments?
That is cheating, like I've heard that Mall of The Americas in Minneapolis has some of the same stores at opposite ends of the mall.
No no no, if T&W are not part of the world, it is only 18 minutes, and if they are, it is twenty minutes.

It's actually more simple than that. The slogan "22 minutes" tested best in a focus group rather than 20.

Give me the world, I'll give them 22 mins, allright.
To the moon, Alice, to the moon ;D

Weird. I wonder if most or all of this same group linked "20 minutes" to exercising ("20 Minute Workout" was a popular show back in the day)...
