TM Productions Fusion Demo, 1977 (0:08:19)

Fusion-Flow-Fusion-Flow-Fusion-Flow [By Uncle Ricky] One thing I always appreciated about a good jingle demo is that it could demonstrate more than jingles — like the excellent production technique heard on this demo. Oooh, this one is nice. It *sparkles* w/broadband. This is a very nice demo tape for a fabulously popular jingle package produced and Copyright 1977 by TM Productions . The vocal group(s) all sound like they’ve pitched themselves in their highest range. The very deliberate mid-range ring on the ‘verb, and everything about this demo, like the jingle package, was freshly stylized and first-class. (And yes, the demo uses records with percussion on the front, but we are matching tempo *and* “feeling” now!) There are two narrators: One BIGV/O and one v/o . There may also be another fellow cast as deejay (for KILT , Houston). We will be looking to our comments for answers and, of course, comments.

Welcome to the new ReelRadio!

This site is now operated by the North Carolina Broadcast History Museum. 

We want to thank the board of ReelRadio, Inc. for their stewardship since the passing of the founder Richard Irwin in 2018.  It has not been easy and they have maintained the exhibits for future generations to enjoy.

I met Richard Irwin, aka Uncle Ricky, when we were freshmen at East Carolina University.  We both had worked at local stations in our hometowns.  No one was more passionate about radio, especially Top 40 radio, than my friend Richard. 

Our goals with this site are to preserve the exhibits and make them available free of charge for people to enjoy.  Over time, we hope to add some airchecks to the site.  This will not happen immediately.  Time and resources will determine the future of new exhibits. 

Many thanks to the web folks at the Beasley Media Group for countless hours of work.  Again thanks to the board members of ReelRadio, Inc. for their faith in us. 

Richard Irwin’s hope was that his site would live on long after his passing. He said, “I hope REELRADIO will survive as my contribution to the ‘radio business’. The business is allowed to forget me, but the business should never forget the great era of radio that we celebrate here”.

We remember Richard and we thank him. If you enjoy this new site, we would appreciate a contribution. We hope you enjoy the new ReelRadio!
