Dutch commercial station Radio Seagull will broadcast “The Jingle Special”, produced and presented by DJ Norman Barrington, on Easter Monday 25 April 2011 at 1300-1500 UTC, repeated at 0100-0300 UTC on 26 April.
2011 marks the 60th anniversary of the birth of PAMS of Dallas, arguably the creator of the sound of top 40 radio throughout the 1960s, while Easter Monday is the anniversary of start of the most famous of offshore pirate radio stations, with DJs like Robbie Dale and Don Allen who made clever use of jingles from PAMS. Thus, Europe had it’s first taste of Top 40 Radio – with masses of American Jingles.
The programme takes a brief look at the history of jingles, as well as how they are constructed.
