JAM "Magic Music" jingles 40th anniversary

Ойын-сауық

For JAM fans: Every jingle has a story, and here's a look back at one of our earliest custom packages on its 40th anniversary. "Magic Music" was first heard on WMGK Philadelphia when the station began in September 1975. It, along with its follow-up packages, remained the signature sound of the Magic format for nearly two decades.

    I enjoy reading the backstory to production music like this. I noticed that the introduction at 4:04 is very suggestive of the opening to America's 1972 "Ventura Highway." 🙂

    I was privileged to work with the late, great Julian Breen at WMGK in Philadelphia for many years. These jingles bring back so many memories of both the station and the man. Another one who's no longer with us is Dave Klahr, the local program director when Magic signed on.

    We got a Magic station here in 1984 (WMGP-FM Parkersburg, WV). It stayed Magic until 1990. These would've been great jingles for them. They actually had no jingles or sounders if I recall until the station's late years.

    I found this very difficult to listen to. Julian Breen was taken from us far too young. A great fellow, who did so much to shape radio, as this excellent documentary shows, not just in the US, but on BBC Radio 2 in the UK as well. Good that it is keeping Julian's reputation alive. But it is still agonising that he has gone.

    I was a 21 year old DJ in 1981...and I paid (out of my own pocket) for my own jingle while my station was getting new JAM jingles recorded. It was on it's own reel and I even think I paid JAM directly for it.... but in one of my many moves over the years, I became separated from that tape. Wonder if there's any way to get a copy of it? My daughters and young grandson would love to hear it if I could get a copy. The many (what appeared to be) 'master tapes' that appeared in the video gave me hope that it might still be hanging around at the JAM studios somewhere. No idea of how to inquire about it. JAM Jingles always rocked for sure!

I like how you showed the score at parts; I caught myself picking out the harmonies on the staff as they were sung! Is that Paul Leim on drums? Anyway, beautiful stuff, thanks very much.

    _Before they went Magic:_ • WMGQ was WCTC's FM equivalent... • KMGK was KIOA's FM equivalent (albeit KYNA for a short time)... • WWYZ was WATR's FM equivalent... • WIOF was WWCO's FM equivalent... • WMJC was WHFI and WHNE... • And, of course, WMGK was WPEN's FM equivalent (and WCAU's as well, long before they swapped each other's frequency out in 1947). The rest of the stations heard here still stayed the same.

I didn’t think so but if there are that is interesting otherwise are some of these call letters just made up for demonstration purposes? I really love all these sorts of how it’s done videos and appreciate the time and effort put into this one it’s a very good Job done

    Thank you for your nice comments. Yes, television and radio stations can have the same call letters. In the Olde Days the stations would have had to be owned by the same entity and be located in the same market. For example, at one time New York City had WABC (AM), WABC-FM and WABC-TV, which were all owned by ABC. But now the rules are less strict and it's possible to have an AM, and FM, and a TV in different cities with the same call letters (but only one of each type of station... ie, there can't be more than one KAKE-TV). All of the call letters you hear in our Magic montage are real, and all of the stations presented did actually use the Magic Music package at some point.

    By international convention, groups of call letters are assigned to each country. The U.S. has W's, K's, N's and A's. So they decided to use the W's for stations east of the Mississippi River, and K's for those west of the river. Canadian station call letters begin with C or V. Mexican stations begin with X. You can find a list of all the assignments online if you Google it.
