1. Bargain Jingles

Bargain sung jingle packages are those that were released for quite some time now. While dated, you get the same production value as those from packages released recently. StudioDragonfly.com has a library of jingle packages in the 1990s, great if you are a 90s or AC format station.

2. Internet-only Production Service

Look for companies that offer exclusive or mostly internet radio services. Their rates are specifically adjusted for the small scale stations, but you get a major-market production quality. www.iJingles.com offers sung jingles, JeffRadio.com  is a legend.

3. Hospital Radio or Nonprofit Stations Imaging Companies

There are no companies actually that offer exclusive services to hospital radio, but there are some that cater to these kinds of market. Internet radio stations might find jingle rates for Hospital Radio, College and Community Radio appealing. www.Devaweb.co.uk offers great services.

4. Local Radio Producers

A practical option. Have someone in your local FM stations voice and produce jingles for you.

5. Referrals

Ask someone who operates a streaming station about where to go for less expensive but great-sounding jingles.

Tip:

To achieve the best-fitting sound for your station, you have to identify the kind of audio personality you want for your station. Do you want a young energetic sound or a warm and friendly, easy-listening style?

Internet radio indeed is a huge and growing industry, which translates to a big demand for voiceover, presenting and radio imaging. Whether you are a newbie or a pro in this field, your goal is not just to stand out but also to withstand competition. Internet radio has become competitive and while budget is still a constraint, you can still choose to go for cheap but quality jingles.

How Do I Get Artist Drops – IDs for Radio Imaging

7 Comments
Tips On Where To Get Artist Drops

Artist drops are spoken IDs, basically artists introducing themselves. Artist IDs are perfect to use when producing concert spots, power intros and radio station IDs. It adds more weight to your production when listeners actually identify the artist and their voice.

There are a lot of ways you can get artist drops.

1. Swap – you can contact different radio stations especially those in major markets where there are more frequently visited stations. If you are lucky, they might want to allow you a barter.

2. Promotional CDs – you might not notice but those sampler CDs sleeping in your studio shelves might contain gems. Some recording labels include audio bits from the artists.

3. Artist Interviews – practical and common sense. If an artist or  band visits your station, make sure to keep that voice recorder handy. Or before the artist leaves, have him record a quick ID.

4. Subscribe to Online Libraries – online libraries are perfect since you can download the elements right away. Check out the best places to find artist drops here http://bit.ly/ArtistDrops

NU 107 Radio Sweepers

My love for radio goes beyond the music and the DJs. The sounds in between these are ear candies to me. Whatever format it is, Top 40, Jazz, AC or Rock, these elements I fondly call radio IDs are works of art.

Imaging Rock Radio has always been interesting. Usually it involves loud and noisy production, deep and thundering voiceover and funny / witty copy most of the time.

NU 107 – The Home of New Rock the most enduring rock format in the country is known for their classic and outrageously catchy liners. Some of these, I have posted here. Thanks for Agent Mikey Bond of NU Cebu for the audio files.

96.3 Easy Rock Gets Jingles from ReelWorld

96.3 Easy Rocks Gets Jingles from ReelWorld
96.3 Easy Rocks Gets Jingles from ReelWorld

The 96.3 FM Band in Metro Manila has had been the favorite destination of listeners for many years when it comes to light rock music. 96.3 WRock is the epitome of AC radio in the Philippines, with franchises operating in Cebu, Bacolod, and Davao.

Aside from the signature light rock format, 96.3 was best remembered for its popular radio jingles from TM Century, which were originally produced for 96.7 FM K-Lite. (You can listen to the original KLite jingles here)

After its re-branding to Easy Rock and acquisition by Cebu Broadcasting Company in 2008, 96.3 gets a facelift with contemporary AC jingles from ReelWorld.

The purchase of the new set of jingles seems continue the tradition of its preceding brand. The new Easy Rock jingles resembles the melodic themes and emotional lyrics of the WRock’s jingles.

The new jingles are lifted from the Delilah, a syndicated AC radio program in the US. Here are the jingles for 96.3 Easy Rock, from ReelWorld. Thanks to j5bata for the up.

What’s Out in Modern Radio Imaging and Production

Leave a comment
Is your station sound the sound of the 21st century?
Is your station sound the sound of the 21st century?

Hi, been a while since we updated this blog in here.  Been really busy cranking up our sister site – RadioJingles.co.nr which is definitely making a huge makeover one of these days. And I’m also proud to unveil the all new RadioJinglesVIP.com – this was the old freewebs hosted site and finally we got a decent, .com domain, wow! It’s all because of you.

Go check out RadioJinglesVIP.com – it’s a free radio jingles, IDs, sweepers and liners site – so request all you want!

Now, in this post, I’m going to be talking about what is not HOT in today’s radio imaging scene.

Well, for most of us who have grown up with the cookie-cutter sweeper approach, laser+voiceover+bed+zaps = cool sweeper. These days, the trick no longer works. Even in imaging. You know the old PD usually wants a big guy doing the voice. You see, the good ole deep baritone voice was the usual thing. I can remember a time in my earlier days, when I got spanked by a friend pretending to sound like a Rick Dees, when in fact, my voice was like a Joe Cipriano.

Modern radio stations need to do away with the traditional, deep, low, baritone, thunder, voice of God, type of imaging. These days, in fact, even normal street vendors can do the voice for your station. These days, what is in is REAL!

Hard sell sweepers no longer sell. So cut the crap. The idea of getting ordinary people doing your station’s imaging makes your station authentic. Now, let me get this straight, I know you have the money to hire voice talents to sound like taxi drivers, or the by-standers, or the “Ale” in the “palengke”, but no, nothing beats the sound of real people.

So, a good advice for you PDs and imaging directors out there, keep digital recorders handy. While you’re on the street, inside malls, riding on a jeepney, or in any public place, grab a chance to interview people why they are listening to your station.

Now that is on the imaging side, on the production side as well, what is out is the use of movie drops, TV drops, or whatsoever, you can however, use recorded listener drops, taken by a recorder or through phone.

Yeah, you can turn heads by dropping in a famous line from a recently shown movie, but hey, it doesn’t usually print in the minds of the listeners. When they hear real people expressing their real thoughts, your listeners can easily identify with your station, and that makes your station imaging believable.

So, here they are again things that are out in today’s radio imaging and production.
OUT – LOW, DEEP, THUNDEROUS, VOICE OF GOD type of voice imaging is out
IN – Experiment with real people to voice your imaging
OUT – LASERS, ZAPS, ZOODADS, MOVIE DROPS AND VOICE DROPS
IN – Authentic sound, use the sound of jeepneys, the sound of tapping keyboards, the sound of everyday palengke scene.

How Networking Affects Radio Imaging Creativity

Leave a comment

Radio Networking Creative IMaging

Chris Stevens of Jones TM recently wrote an article about the relationship of networking and radio imaging. Here’s the article:

Originally it was an art. In the days of fewer stations on the dial and no networking, you could get away with all sorts of long creative masterpieces. Partly because there was nothing else to lure your audience away, and partly because there were no constraints – let alone focus groups and marketing agency plans.

Then, the 90s arrived. Every sweeper had to be the same length, saying the same words, with possibly a different type of whoosh in the background. Your work would have exciting titles like “A2” or “B3”, and could suddenly be played out remotely, along with 20 other sweepers with the same words for other parts of the country. Woe betide you if it was more than exactly 7.0 seconds, and don’t even suggest sung jingles.
