Jingles

Several years ago (early 1990's) KLTY used a jingle package that was sung by Matthew Ward...THEY WERE GREAT! I'd love to find out where I can get hold of them.

Anybody got any ideas?

I know Matthew's brother Tony. I'll see if Tony can contact his brother and get back to you with any information on these jingles.

Great, thanks so much!

I haven't had any luck in reaching Tony, but I forgot as well about your post, so I'll make an effort to try again.

This is off topic from the original post but it is still about jingles. Has any station ever had a local church choir or singing group cut jingles for them? Sometimes sitting in churches I hear very talented singers and have always thought that they could do great jingles. Having them just sing the call letters and dial position, possibly station id, weather intro, etc. Nothing too complicated that take a lot of time. Maybe even have different churches do the same basic jingle. It could be a way to promote the station and also showcase some of the local choirs.

I have heard some done...sadly, most of the time they are not very good...Jingle singing and production is a pretty specialized field.

I suppose it would depend on the format too...some formats may do better with a jingle that doesn't sound like a jingle, eh?
