JINGLES: Nearly every music station in the nation today uses jingles to help distinguish their radio station from the competition. The two best-known jingles companies in the united states are PAMS and JAM Creative Productions, both based in Dallas, Texas.
PAMS-- WABC and PAMS jingles go hand-in-hand. WNBC, WXLO, WPLJ, and WCBS have used PAMS jingles through the years.
JAM Creative Productions-- WABC used many JAM jingles in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Today, WHTZ and WTJM ("Jammin 105") are two large customers of JAM creative productions.
