[BC] Radio Station Jingles

[Steve]

BTW Alan...did you know that it was Tom Merriman (TM) who actually invented
the jingle in 1953? I know it's hard to believe but true. Me thinks he was
involved with the PAMS folks or some others in Dallas in the 50's and early
60's until TM was formed. (I read this somewhere and I think it was on the
Tomorrow Radio LP that came out in the 70's but not sure)

Thanks for the info. I just couldn't put an era to that package.
