KIOA Jingles
by Ray DennisThis first jingle is a hoot!
KIOA pre-top-40 jingle Probably from KIOA "Town and Farm" Radio days - prior to 1957. Courtesy of Bob Ogburn.
KIOA jingle from around 1957.
Pams tape box cover
The Legendary KIOA Nine Forty logo Story and super jingle montage.
KIOA Series 15 "Yours Truly KIOA." Popular early 60's package used by many stations including WHB in Kansas City
KIOA Series 17 Mid-60's - KIOA's first use of the "KLIF" logo and "Good Guy" image. Note that the last cut is in Spanish. KIOA perpetrated a hoax; "Keep bull fighting out of Iowa," and during that time, they dropped the Spanish cut in on the air periodically.
KIOA Series 27 Mid to late 60's. The greatest Top-40 jingle package ever produced (Ray Dennis opinion), utilizing all male singers singing the lyrics with a distinctive super-high soprano (American Indian lady) in the accompaniment.
The above Pams cuts were dubbed from reel to reel master tapes, courtesy of Peter McLane. and represent cuts from the packages that DesMoinesBroadcasting.com selected to exhibit at this time.
Editor's note: The actual tape was in excellent condition but the cuts were divided with leader tape and some of the splices came apart making it necessary to get out the splicing tape, razor blade and splicing block. Finding a roll of splicing tape in 2003 Des Moines was quite a trick.
