WGY Collection #10

This was a preliminary demo commissioned by the BBC from Jam productions and Steve England for the original Radio 5 AM station in 1992. The project was not completed, largely because the BBC announced its intention to replace Radio 5 with 5 Live shortly after this was delivered. The rest is history. Many of the cuts are resings from Jam's New York Fan package. This was more of a mood board for the tracks and vocal approach than a firm direction for the final cuts. It also reflected a growing realisation at the station that sport was the central focus of Radio 5's audience, even if the schedule was more eclectic. Jingle aficionados will note that the vocal sound was weighted male and included a mix of UK and US vocalists. Trivia fact: the late Caron Keating was the station controller's Goddaughter.

BBC Radio 5 Jam jingles demo 1992

Ever since I can remember, 93.3 in Albuquerque, New Mexico has been '93.3 KOB FM.' 

But on November 15, 2019, the station became '93.3 The Q.'

According to RadioInsight.com, "the move away from the KOB-FM branding and KKOB-FM call letters helps differentiate the station from sister News/Talk 770 KKOB, which has been putting much more emphasis on its 94.5 translator frequency."

I dug out some old tapes and found some digital files on hard drives, and put together this montage of KOB FM over the years, starting with 1992. As an avid jingle collector, the montage is very jingle heavy, but I threw in some liners and promos as well. 

And speaking of jingles, if you worked at station in the 1990's/2000's and may have copies of the JAM/TM jingles in the clear, please contact me!  I heard the jingles were either lost or destroyed. :(

In any event, enjoy this look back at KOB FM!
