New Magic 98.3 jingles

W

If anyone cares, "Magic 98.3" (WMGQ New Brunswick) has new jingles and music beds and they're cheesier than ever before. The jingles sound vaguely '80s-Top-40-ish, but are all sung by high-pitched female voices.

I still miss WMGQ's classy "Digital Mix" jingle package, made by JAM, which they used from 1995 to 2002. It had "fast" and "slow" jingles for all the liners. Now, all of their jingles are "fast", which sounds jarringly incorrect when they use one right before playing a slow song. For example I heard them play a fast, cheerful, upbeat jingle and segue into Bette Midler's "The Rose".

That would be the WLIT 2005 package from Reelworld.

I agree about Digital Mix---it was definitely my favorite package on Magic. The last one (Does anyone even know what prodution company created their last package?) wasn't anything special, and if I'm being honest, I like these better, but would have liked to hear more JAM... MANY AC stations are using Reelworld's packages, so that just makes Magic "one of many AC stations."

The WLIT 2005 package does have slow cuts, so maybe Magic just hasn't played any yet.

Their last jingles were from Thompson Creative, the Magic 101.9 package. 106.7 in Boston still uses some of these, as well as others from Thompson, that they have been using for WAY too long...
 
Hello. My name is Lawrence Simmons and i live in Somerset, New Jersey. I'm a huge fan of Thompson Creative and it's especially when you hear Magic 98.3 play it. Does Anyone have any audio of Thompson Creative Crescent City Magic by Magic 98.3?
