Jinglemad Radio
The radio jingles market is an old one that came to the fore in the 1960s. The biggest and best known jingle company was PAMS, Promotional and Marketing Services of Dallas, whose jingles are well remembered by many millions. They were very well produced with sizzling hi-hats, blaring brass, pounding bass and soaring singers' voices. PAMS jingles are still in use at stations all over the world, even though PAMS went out of business in the 1970s. You can still get some PAMS series resung by jingle companies for today's stations.
Other jingles well known in the 1960s were made by Pepper & Tanner, GWIN Sound, Cliff Adams and Wave Audio Creations with JAMS, Century 21 and TM being the biggest in the 1970s. In the UK, Radio Caroline's Steve England set up Alfasound-Tapetrix to make jingles and only recently retired from his S2Blue company, which is now run by his son Simon.
A good archive to immerse yourself in, if you want to learn about the history of the world's greatest radio jingle packages or just generally explore jingles, is Norman Barrington's Radio Pages or JingleMad Radio.

Custom Audio Sung IDs
Radio station jingles are, at their most basic, a simple recitation of the station name and strap line. These usually feature the same voice, often bought in from a voice over agency or jingle company, such as those on this page.
They might have a sound effect or a music bed added or could be a short sung ditty. All should match and become part of an 'identity' for your station. If heard often enough, listeners will eventually recall them very easilly, which will help them recall your station too, perhaps many years after it changes name or even closes.
