(AM Stereo) ID's

[JH_Radio]

I have a copy of the ID that KYW used to run at the top of the hour promoting that they were indeed in AM Stereo.
Does anyone have a copy of this as broadcasted on an AM Stereo receiver?
I would like to hear how it sounds, as it is one of my favorite ID's.
They also don't use the jingles that everyone is used to hearing on KYW anymore do they?
Everyone knew KYW by that jingle, even my parents know of the stations freq because of the jingle.
How about Stereo 950 AM WPEN's ID promoting that they were in AM Stereo?Or 990 WZZD Christian promoting AM Stereo.
I don't know who else promoted AM Stereo on the Philadelphia airwaves, but it'd be interesting to hear the ID's as recorded off an AM Stereo receiver.
Thanks for any leads!

I have AM Stereo recordings of KYW and WPEN on cassette, but I'd have to go through hours of tape to find clean copies of the IDs you're looking for. KYW's ID mentioned "...serving Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware, in AM Stereo". Around 1997 they cut "...in AM Stereo" off the ID and then a few months later stopped broadcasting an AM Stereo signal, although they kept their C-Quam equipment in the rack for years, and it may even still be there today. At the time, KYW claimed they dropped AM Stereo to prepare for upgrading to digital IBOC transmissions. But now that IBOC is finally a reality today as "HD Radio", KYW is still transmitting a plain analog mono signal!

And as for WPEN, all through their Adult Standards format they often ID'ed as "Stereo 95 AM". Their logo also mentioned AM Stereo, as seen below. A few months before the switch to Oldies, they began transmitting IBOC, which is incompatible with AM Stereo. AFAIK they still have their C-Quam equipment and a few times during the Oldies format, WPEN was definitely heard broadcasting in full C-Quam AM Stereo for a few days at a time until they switched the IBOC back on again.
