Any format, but 60's Top 40 probably has the best.

The "77 WABC jingle" at the top of every hour in the 60s.
Also, KRLA "Serving Southern California from Pasadena KRLA"
WLS in the 70s: "Musicradio WLS Chicago"

In the early 60s, "WBBM & WBBM FM, double enjoyment radio Chicago".
WCFL definitely had great IDs, especially when Larry Lujack would give that "wooo" in the background.
My Favorite was the KBIG Los Angeles from a few Years ago
CHIMES "its Eleven O Clock in the west at Southern California's BIG FM _ KBIG Los Angeles"
Jhani Kaye is the one of the Greatest PD/Jingle producers on the planet he knows how to "Make em Sing"
to be honest any TOH that is sung from Los Angeles or San Francisco just sounds Cool !!

"W-M-I-D, Atlantic City ... A Merv Griffin Station"
"W-C-B-S Fm ... New York, New York."
(Bill Drake) "And the Hits Just Keep ON Comin' (Johnny Mann Singers) C-K-L-W ... The Motor City. (and every other great RKO Station)
"W-B-Z Boston ... Group W ... a Westinghouse Broadcasting Station ... in AM Stereo. (TM Singers,) W-B-Z ... Boston."

"Topside-on-Riverside, this is WBML.....where you turn it on, and leave it on, 24 hours a day"
WBML Radio, 1240. Macon, Georgia. They moved in to studios overlooking downtown Macon's Riverside Drive in the 60's, and were the only 24 hour station in the market for years. Their motto was "Nail it down on 1240" and even had a "Nail It Down Club" on Saturday night, with membership cards (I was, and still am, #1088) and gold-colored lapel pins made from a carpet tack.

I think WBBM "NewsRadio 78" back in the day had some pretty awesome legal ID singouts into the TOH news.
But these days, there are also some pretty good IDs. WNCI/Columbus used to have a great ID on the air that was a clubby/dance-mix type of jingle. The vocals at the end would say "Col-UM-BUS! US! US!"... pretty awesome. The legal IDs from WGH-FM in Norfolk were also great. "The number one country station in the state of Virginia. WGH-FM (cities of license) and all of Hampton Roads. (then the singout) 97-3 the Eagle... The Eeeeeaglllllle!" Let's not forget those beautiful legal IDs WLW-AM in Cincinnati used to have. "The PASSION that reflects our region... THIS... is continuing in-depth team coverage from the Tri-State's news, weather and traffic station. News Radio 700 W--L--W/Cincinnati...". The old TM Century "WMIL/Milwaukee" jingles "WMIL... FM 106.1... Waukesha/Milwaukeeeeee" were incredible! KASE/Austin is still using them. KVET/Austin is also a super singout "98-point-1... K-V-E-T... Auuuuuustinnnnnnn!".

WDAF, Kansas City, throughout most of their 61 Country Days. They used "61 Country" exclusively, never the calls, except during newscasts, when they were exclusively WDAF and never 61 Country. Local news began five minutes before the top of the hour and ended with the newscaster identifying himself or herself and concluding with "W-D-A-F." Jock immediately came in over an intro with "Kansas City is Sixty-One-Country..." and continued with a brief promo, time check, jock and music ID.
Although the original was in Spanish, it translates perfectly...
"X-E-W. The Voice of Latin America from Mexico." This was used from the 30's well into the 90's on 250,000 watt XEW, 900 AM, Mexico City, Mexico.

My area has many good top hour jingles. My favorites: WXLY's TOH ID during the early 2000's, from the "Do It Again" package. A very memorable ID, made you want to listen to the station. From Tophour: http://www.tophour.com/audio/Charleston SC/fm1025_2001-12_wxly_ttatman.mp3
The jingle Sunny 105.9 and all the Infinity oldies stations use now. Very majestic, you know what station you're listening to.
The jingle the old Sunny 96.9 used in Charleston for several years. I don't remember the jingle package, but had lots of melody, from one of those boring ReelWorld packages, but good. From Jinglenews: http://www.jinglenews.com/audio/jingles/wsuy_2.mp3
