I don't...

..but HERE is a short aircheck of a traffic bed from a Seattle station back in 1991
that 'sounds' much like a WLS sounder:

(**RIGHT-CLICK ONLY - to 'Save Target As')

Note the musical rythum IN the sounder - much like: 'Douuuble-u...'L'...'S'...

..Can anyone confirm this was so?....and if it was, is there any straight bed copy of it around somewhere?

Thanks!

EVERY abc affiliate has that sounder. I used it at WAZY, Lafayette, IN (and WGFA, Watseka, IL) in the early 70s.

Was it the legal ID/stager that was used on JAM's "Fresh Kiss" package?

http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=056EEB9F301C2F39 (about a minute in).

I've heard this bed used over the years used as a stager bed for cut 1 on this package. Also, I heard it over the years used as a news opener, weather & contest bed for various stations. Although this jingle package was sung for KIIS FM/LA, some of the cuts were done originally for WLS in 1984/85.

I can't get this web site to download anything!

Are we talking about here the sounder example that I had POSTED -- or the one 'menotti1' wants?

Isn't that the old ABC network sports sounder Howard Cosell used for years?

 

[jh]

Yes, it was the original ABC Contemporary Radio Network news sounder when ABC split into the four networks back in the late 60s. There were a couple of different versions of it, one of those was used by "Speaking of Sports" long after Cosell passed away.

There were also one or two versions that were quite different. I don't recall if ABC ever used them for anything, but ABC made them available for local affiliates for use as a local news or traffic sounder.
