I would also like to hear jingles from KARA in Santa Clara.
I would really enjoy hearing some jingles from KOFY-1050 in the mid 80’s. Just loved the 50s-60s rock n’ roll format and the jingles. DJs were great too. Good times and fond memories.
Joe, those were re-sings of an old PAMS package. I heard them on WABC growing up, and loved playing them on KOFY.
Glorious! It has been excellent to hear PAMS packages in good quality. In 1974, our national easy listening station in the UK bought many cuts from the KNBR custom This is San Francisco but they weren’t a patch on the originals.
I have some jingles and station IDs for KFOG, KYUU, KXXX (X100), and KITS (LIVE 105) and KOME.
How can I contribute?
Larry : When you find out how to add in some cool contributions Let me know I have a lot myself to add , Thanks Larry ; RodneyAndregg@ymail.com
Rodney,
We have a contact page on the website. You can send us a message through our contact page.
Looking forward to what you have to share!

I enjoyed listening to these jingles. I wanted to ask if anybody had all the jingles from 96.5 KOIT “Love songs After Dark” show 2000-2006? I believe KOIT was owned or run by Bonneville during that time. The jingles I remember played in between songs/commercials from 8:00PM-12:00AM weekdays. Thank you.
KGO RADIO JINGLES! It’s so nice to hear the old KGO jingles pre-Dunbar and the news/talk format. The jingle song was actually the ABC signature which was used on the network trumpet ID and also on the national news intro. I’d never heard this KGO jingle package before. Thanks!
Trying to remember a San Francisco radio station (KSFO?) morning show jingle from the 70s that I heard often when my mom drove us to school. All I remember is the jingle includes the phrase “good morning” in different languages, e.g., “bonjour bon ami”. Can you help refresh my memory?
LA,
I believe that was Jim Lange’s daily ritual on KSFO – you can search him up here on the website.
(If I’m wrong, somebody please correct me!)

I left the Bay Area, SJ in 1980. The places have gone, but the sounds from the past stay .
In the Great NW now

I was a winner of the KFRC or KNBR contest. It was called NAME THE MYSTERY SOUND for 4 days and 3 nights at The Princess Kialoni hotel. It was close to the end of my pregnancy with daughter born 1-11-1982. The trip was March or April 1982. I found ADs for Matthew’s stereo – top of the hill Daly City during that time period, but nothing about the contest. I’m sure the hotel sponsored the contest. Please provide any info.
What a rich history USA radio has. I spend a lot of time playing US music on my History Of Rock and Roll radio show on a Public Radio Station in South Australia inserting various jingles into my show. The USA has always had great production and mainly terrific voiced (the yelling screaming jocks were always infectious (Wolfman Jack, Alan Freed, The KJ Jocks and Boss Radio, I could go on. American Radio is my passion,g and exciting as were gimmicks and sound effects) It would be nice to return to those days) I know how to download radio station jingles and purchase CDs of jingles. Just pop over an email on top of the Pacific Ocean.K
Some of this collection made it to air recently when KEXP launched a new service on 92.7 KEXC Alemeda. Here is an air check of the stunt: https://www.mixcloud.com/Jamesington66/san-francisco-radio/
