KYW Jingles (Before 1100 AM was WKYC, WTAM)

[kenb]

Does anybody have or know where the old sung KYW AM 1100 jingles are? I remember listening to this station, before they shipped the call letters off to Philadelphia. The call letters were moved around to be W-KY-C in Cleveland. I have the old radio station surveys where one week it was KYW and the next printed survey in the same print format says WKYC. If I remember correctly, at that time, the jingle sounded like W-L-S, in Chicago, which was sung by the Anita Kerr Singers and is available off the internet. K-Y-W, in Cleveland, O-Hi-O sticks in my mind. Comments?

I remember right after the call letter switch they continued to use the same KYW jingles, all they did was alter/shorten the existing jingles a bit to just say "KY" instead of KYW. It saved them having to make all new jingles at least right at first.

The old KYW jingles were done by Mark Century in New York. They then re-sung some with the WKYC call letters. Shortly thereafter they switched to PAMS with cuts from series 18, 27, and 29.... then later 31 and 33. In '68 they switched to some PAMS custom a'capellas and then later in '68 to a packge by Tom Merriman (just before he founded TM productions). In '69 with the format flip to AC, they used the Chuck Blore "Encore" package and around 1970 switched to a TM composite pakage with cuts mainly from Design '70.
