KAAY 1090

Jingles were a critical part of the Friendly Giant's sucess. Early on after the change to top 40 and the call letter change from KTHS to KAAY, then program director Mike McCormick (Jim Hankins) had a seperate cart machine in the rack away from everyone with one cart in it that just had a very low level jingle "K A A Y, One Oh Nine Oh" repeating and fading out quickly. The jock, coming out of every record, hit a button below the console that started that jingle in the background. He then went on with the next element as though the jingle wasnt even there. This went on for months, but I have never heard an aircheck with this in it. Today's treat is jingle from a much later period when KAAY could afford Pams jingles. This is one of the Big K sonovox jingles. http://www.members.cox.net/lindse/kaay.mp3
