Rewound Radio WKLO
Jingle Spotlight
Jon Wolfert is the
president of America's leading radio jingle company,
JAM Creative
Productions. On Sundays he hosts a DJ show on online station
Rewound Radio.
Besides playing some
great oldies, Wolfert highlights a lot of classic radio jingles. On
the August 18, 2019 show he did a nice segment on WKLO's jingles
(mostly the ones from
PAMS).

Note: The above jingles were furnished
by Don Worsham of the
Media Preservation
Society who writes: "These were found among examples of jingles
held by former Futursonic head Jim Wells. They were not
produced by Futursonic. It appears that they were provided to Jim
during his sales contacts with the station. I believe WKLO also had
the Futursonic 'Temperatunes' package of singing temperature
jingles." Don has written a book about the history of radio ID
jingles titled "The Hits Between The Hits". All proceeds from the
sale of the book goes to the preservation work of the foundation.
Don also notes: "On the Allen Bryan aircheck from 1-13-63, the
timecheck jingles are from Futursonic sung by Libba Weeks. The
jingles in the 1959 Ed Bowman aircheck are from IMN (Intermountain
Productions) 'W' package. The sonovox 'stab' in WKLO was from PAMS
Series #18. WING, another Great Trails station, did the same thing.
Jerry Kiefer
writes on May 8, 2008: "The first long package from the '50s: I've
heard them before, on an old acetate that played from the inside
out, labeled 'WKLO IDs'. It was cut at the KLO studios. The voice
talent is Jimmy Logsdon who did the country show. The backup
singers on a couple are his sisters. (I have no idea of their
names.) Jimmy was from Panther, Kentucky and had a TV shop before he
got into radio. After KLO he moved on to do the old 'Jamboree' on
WCKY until 1964. Jimmy was one of the jocks with WCLU/1320 when the
station hit the air in Covington, Kentucky in 1965. He moved over to
WZIP 1050/92.5 in '66 where I worked with him in '67 through '69. He
resurfaced again in '71 back at WCLU where I had the pleasure to
work with him again. Jimmy moved back to Louisville in the mid '70s
and ended up being a meat inspector for the state until he retired.
He passed away in the late '80s. Jimmy brought the old KLO jingles
to WZIP one day where we had a big turntable that could play them.
Jimmy did some recording on King and also had one minor hit on Decca
('The Death Of Hank Williams') in the '50s. He was a great talent, a
master of the ad lib. His fans always had him tied up on the request
line. One time I was in the studio when he was trying to get off the
phone and as the record ran out he hit the mike and said, 'Neighbors
I do a better show on the phone than the radio' bidding adieu to the
call with the mike on."

PAMS Acapella Audition
This cut never aired to our knowledge.
We assume PAMS did this cut to show WKLO how well they could
copy the Drake acapellas done by the Johnny Mann Singers. WKLO
decided to go with the real thing instead.
