Alright, here's the 1963 version of this:
Excuse me Mr. (fill in the blank)
Would you happen to know the time?
("It's 7:02")
the temperature?
(590 degrees)
How about the weather?
(We'll have tornadoes tonight and snow flurries tomorrow!)
♫ Well no matter what the weather
The listening couldn't be better,
so go go go with wonderful WARM radio ♫
Yes, i know that "go go go" is a non-sequitor, but that's the way it was.
I'm sure there were other 1963 jingles, but I'm not recalling them.
I seem to recall a "WARM [rapid drum solo] SPORTS!"
And of course, the ever-popular "♫ WARM, the mighty five ninety ♫" which could then be followed by
"presents the tune that's number one", or which could simply stand alone.
Some stations had simple IDs. "WBAX, Radio Channel 12!" or "WBAX in Wilkes-Bareeee"
"WNAK, Woming Valley"
While WBRE had a slew of really good ID tunes.
"W

WBRE
the happy sound!
in Wilkes-Barre!
(bump-de dum)"
(bump de dum!) <--fanfare
"Listen Listen Listen" was a full-fledged song with three verses and a break after the seconed verse!
I don't recall ANY musical signatures for WILK prior to 1968. Seems they would have had some, but none come to mind.
They were kind of a big band/jazz station prior to the switch to rock and roll in 1968.
Feel free to dive into this discussion. ;D
