JAM has created custom jingles for "Coast" in Los Angeles since 1985. In this video from April 1990 you'll see Mark Wallengren, Kim Amidon, Ted Ziegenbush and Bryan Simmons working on the air with cuts from our "CoastLines" package.
Yes! Now I know someone else who watches radio airchecks on repeat. You like these, you should listen to the FM100 aircheck. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kQfnmnnptVE.html
Except on the demo, the top of the hour is a illegal ID, but corrected for on the air use as you can hear. On the demo the station name "Coast 103" is sung between "K-O-S-Teeeeeee" and the city of license being Los Angeles.
Being a jingle fan Jam just hits the mark so much more than any other jingle producer. The KOST jingle packages are incredible. The harmonies they create makes the hairs on my neck stand on end. PS. I cant believe that KOST use Reelworld now???? Have they gone mad?!!!
No, JAM does is not compatible. I give them credit for what they have done with KBZN in Salt Lake City, but its too late to try to impress iheart and KOST. I would go with either Reelworld or TM Studios if I was doing AC.
For me, it really depends. If I was doing softer AC, I would go with JAM. If I was doing AC, I would go with TM Studios. I love the package that B98.7 in Salt Lake used from TM Century in the 00s. I believe these Coast jingles even inspired FM100 in Salt Lake to go the Soft AC route.
@@donmccullen1973 Well, that's your opinion. But JAM is the best on the planet at jingles, Reel World does well with some formats, but the AC jingles they did for KOST were awful. And I'm being kind. And remember, this is from 30 years ago.
@@jamessimmons8525 I disagree, the RW jingles for KOST work for their needs today. KOST is not as soft as they once were. Two and half decades of JAM jingles were great. Sadly the music of Gen X and beyond does not gel well with JAM jingles like the music of the boomers did. I get that JAM makes jingles an art form, but what good as an art if they clash your station's sound. Being Schmaltz and florid does not work for everyone. Now JAM fans might get that musical high, but if they can't appreciate or feel its not complementing your station...Schmaltz and Forid can kill your station. Jon was smart in offering jingles in various media forms. From new media, to moblie DJ cuts etc. If I could do a Classical Crossover internet station, I would look into the various cuts JAM did for KOST. Since Jon believes jingle music should be different from the main music, its vocal style would differentiate from a classical trained vocalist embracing a pop element...a great complement indeed. Those outlets that I discribed will keep JAM Creative going in the near future.
Putting those great Jingles aside, just for a wee short moment and taking a very close look at the radio control room video footage: Yup, THAT'S what REAL Radio Broadcast Operations was really all about...when REAL "Disc Jockeys" fully & totally operated the mix console...you know...the way Brian Wilson "Played-The-Studio" to create Pet Sounds" and again the way 10cc "Played-The-Studio" to create "I'm Not In Love". Even though the "programming" here was tightly and creatively controlled by mastermind genius "Jhani Kaye", the 'execution' was human controlled & executed...and done so, flawlessly. TODAY...it's NOTHING but voice tracks that are "Store Forwarded" into a software controlled systems and spit out, just at the right time, but more so than not, NEVER have the real feel nor proper flow and worse yet, the vocal is NEVER balanced right, over the intro-duction or outro-duction of the recorded song. Indeed, here in Los Angeles, we still may have one...MAYBE two, local morning music programs that are still handled in a somewhat live fashion, but the basic mechanics are executed by software trails of unhuman sounding seques and generically-induced, interconnected flow-ways. Real music disc jockeys who sit down at a mix console for four hours a shift, are simply very expendable, too expensive and simply "not needed" anymore...when they can remotely...from their homes (and this is Pre-COVID-19 related) log into the software and "place" their talk-bit interlude right, smack dab into a song break...however the sound is just so synthetic, so mechanic and so very "not-real". Radio Programming Manager Jhani Khaye was the "Brain Wilson" of late 1970's, the 80's, the 90's and even a bit into the 2000's; a true mastermind of "REAL" Los Angeles Music Radio. There ain't no darn way around that. And that form of radio human musical mix console interaction...shall unfortunately, never return.

This is what professional radio sounds like! Downright mouthwatering (earwatering??) compared to what we get in my area...zoo-crew snark, right-wing gasbags, woofing jock-talk morons, and weekend polka parties. One AM robo-station here even gets by on broadcasting only one channel of a stereo signal...how about Beatles karaoke style?
I wish radio still sound like this? Haven't been listening to one since the early 2000s. From where I'm from most fm stations are now hard news and commentaries. And they all suck.
I love these jingles too, but arent u afraid to be too uniform? A run of a mill jingle that sounds the same cross stations is hardly unique. If station A sounds the same as station B with their jingles, then the purpose of audio identity is gone - or?
@@ApartmentKing66 "Supposed to sound" according to Jhani, the Program Director. His one-note approach was very creepy. A plastic and insincere delivery is no way to connect with the listener. If you want to hear a delivery that would have worked much better on KOST (yes, I know KOST was successful in the ratings, but I'd bet you that relatable people on the air would have increased their numbers), listen to the on-air talent of KNX-FM. They sound like people.
If its suitable for the kids, then the adults will also listen. It was designed to be light, inoffensive, just like the music policy. It was absolutely right.
