April, 1973/TM Custom Acapellas
(Dallas) - This was a series of six short, acapella cuts specifically
for use on Big D FM.
spring 1974/Tanner Land of the Free (spec) - Pepper
Sound Studios, Inc., of Memphis, was a well-known producer of economical
station jingles which were frequently provided for barter rather
than cash. At this point in its history, Pepper had merged with
Tanner Productions and produced a demo tape for a new package. This
version never aired at WDRC but a re-lyriced version did (see next).
summer 1974/Tanner Friendly & Free - The first station
to air this package was WCOD on Cape Cod. WDRC's version used different
lyrics and an entirely new musical logo from TM's "Friends"
package.
1976/PAMS #42A (Dallas) - For the second time,
WDRC turned to PAMS for an energetic series known as The Igniters.
November
26, 1981/Toby Arnold shotguns (Dallas) - Arnold's jingle company
was well known in the industry. WDRC FM turned to them for this
package of shotgun, or short, energetic jingles.
1983/PAMS-CPMG #18/25/26 re-dos (Dallas) -
By 1983, both AM and FM were using fulltime oldies formats. The
original PAMS was out of business but a company called CPMG had
acquired the rights to sing new lyrics on classic tracks. WDRC mixed
some of their original Series #27 cuts with newly produced jingles.
Since WPOP had used both Series #18 (Sonosational) and #25B
(Happy Difference) in its heyday, many of the cuts were already
familiar to listeners.
1984/PAMS-CPMG First class re-sings - CPMG
introduced some new material with classic PAMS tracks and marketed
them as the "First Class" package.
1984/PAMS/CPMG
First Class - Like the previous package, these were designed
for an oldies format and were lyriced specifically for WDRC FM.
