I guess this is really for "outside the metro" but I was wondering if anyone knows a station that still uses the KNIX jingles? I think if I hadn't known so much about the internal politics around KEGA and the fact it was attacking KSOP I would have been a P2 or so (country isn't my favorite, but I like it sometimes). Those jingles were high energy and helped me like the station. I was basically becoming a P1/2 to KKAT after Millcreek took over as that was a great brand too.
I haven't heard KNIX jingles anywhere anymore (including KNIX) and was wondering if anyone knew a station that streams and uses them? I've tried all 3 Boise stations - I thought KIZN used to use them also, but it seems not. Obviously up here in Seattle I have KMPS that kind of does its own thing and KKWF that uses the "Wolf" branding that Entercom came up with.
Edit: I know that Simmons/Sand Creek uses them on KUPI 99 in Idaho Falls, but of course, they don't want to match any of their competition and have a (decent) Web site, let alone stream. [Young Country 105.5 the Hawk and KID-FM "the Bull" both stream online]

Thats a awesome package from Reelworld.. I think they sounded a ton better than the current. I know that was a pretty popular package so im sure its on a few stations  .. I love the Reelworld jingle sound which we are using the Reelwood one package at KSOP.. |

Man I really must be getting old. I'm 38 by the way. I have to say I've never liked the sound of those jingles. I always wondered where The Eagle got those annoying jingles. Apparently it's ReelWorld's "style" and how most of their jingles sound. Maybe that's the trend and that's the way radio is going and the way radio is supposed to sound these days. I listened to some of their other demos too. They all sound the same. I always thought jingles were sung in harmony by a group. I really don't like jingles that are sung by a soloist. I dunno....like I said maybe I'm just getting old. Reelworld's sound is "pushy" to me. It's really like "screaming" and "in your face" versus a harmonizing group singing a happy tune. I love jingles...I always have. But not those.
Phew! Okay I said it. Am I the only one that feels this way?

Yup. That's the ones. You've never heard the jingles on KEGA 101.5-the Eagle? Same package as KNIX. I ventured over to TM Studios' web site after this and they've got tons and tons of demos there to listen to. Now THOSE are what I think of when I think of jingles. LOTS of good packages there to listen to. To me, those sound more like jingles that I'm used to hearing. Like I said...maybe it's just me |

Nope, I don't remember those. Even if I had, they're bland enough that I probably wouldn't remember.

It's really rare that I disagree with you or Michael, but I don't think this jingle series was bland. Then again, I live in a market with no jingle imaging now, beyond the *howl*(yawn) of the "Wolf" Country brand that's so popular now. I guess that latter PD's of KEGA/KNIX may have felt as you two do, since they do something totally different now. Of course, on the other hand KBEE still uses the same series they've had for 5 years now. Seattle - Tacoma radio = YUK! |

Hey, that's ok. Not everyone likes the same things. It's funny though, when I was thinking of a jingle package in this market that I liked, it was B98.7 that first sprang to mind. I guess I'm not alone. If it's well liked, why change it and risk alienating listeners?
