Any old Savannah radio local jingles?

N

NoirAnomaly

I've been on a nostalgia trip, and I was looking at old Savannah local commercials, and it got me thinking on the jingles I heard as a kid (like: Take a look at yourself, you've got that smile).
I've searched, but I haven't been able to find any. Have any of you come across the old jingles like "Vaden buy local in Savannah?" or anything else?
 
No help for specifics, but I do recommend Southpaw Frizzell‘s YouTube channel if you haven’t looked there yet. Tons of commercials, newsbreaks, and station IDs in the late 70’s-early 90’s from WTOC, WSAV, WJCL, and (I think) GPTV. Makes you realize how much mileage WTOC got out of their old news set...nearly 30 years it seems!

Sadly, Savannah Radio clips from the past are almost non-existent on YouTube. There’s a few bandscans from the 80’s there and a few airchecks from WHTK and WSGF in the 80’s. That’s about it unless someone uploaded a lot recently.
 
On the radio side, you can hear WIXV jingles from the 90s including promos for the breakfast flakes (these are TV promos for WIXV). There are also some on-air checks from WZAT back in the 80s when it was top 40. I've been looking for WZAT when it was alternative rock but no luck.

Oh man I was watching their channel for the commercials, but I didn't know they had radio stuff too. Thanks for the heads up.

Thanks! I was born in 94, but was born in and raised around Savannah, so it's awesome to see/hear what it was like before my time.

And I kick myself now for having lost HOURS of recordings of The Ron and Ron Show on Z102 back when it was Alternative in the early/mid ‘90s. They were full of commercials, sweepers, liners...all lost to the sands of time now, unfortunately.
