Puerto Rico Radio Jingles

I

Identnut

I've researched the jingles for PR's main radio stations, and can't find out for the life of me who does the Jingles for Fidelity 95.7 or for that matter, Estereotempo 99.9. I'd also like to know who does the jingles for Christian Nueva Vida 97.7 and La Estación de La Familia 88.5.

Here's what I've researched.

Reggaetón 94's jingles are from KUBE 93 in Seattle.
The old Red 96 jingles are from WBBM-AM in Chicago.
Magic 97.3's jingles are from JAM (a station called Éxtasis from God knows where) and from Reelwold (the old Key 103 jingles from Manchester, England)
Toca de To's jingles are also from Reelworld. Originally for Boston's Kiss 108 WXKS, they fit the station like a glove. Curiously enough, Uno's temporary station in the Western Portions of the Island have taken older Reelworld Jingles for Kiss 108 for their station "107.3".
KQ105's jingles are from JAM, specifically made for them... I remember when I went to Orlando, I heard the old KQ105 jingles on Rumba 100.3... sounded totally out of place for a Spanish Rythmic format, but hey, Mega's jingles from New York were taken.
La Mega's (Puerto Rico) jingles are from Reelworld, originally for WKTU 103.5 in New York.

The Estereotempo jingles were originally done by Cuco Peña and later versions have been done by other local arrangers and producers. The Fidelity jingles were also local productions going back to the originals done by Las Caribelles (vocal group) and various local producers... I think they are still locally done, as are the Salsoul jingles.

Quite a few of the jingles used in PR use tracks from mainland companies sung in San Juan. Others, like WKAQ and then KQ-105 use Dallas packages sung in Spanish.
 
Something odd I noticed right now... there's a radio station in Peru called La Karibeña 94.9. It plays a jingle that's very similar to Salsoul's, but with a cumbia beat!
