Michael Neff Christmas 1977 Jingle Sampler (0:13:26)

… in case of a tie, judges will exchange for cufflinks …
Description by Uncle Ricky Michael Neff aka SuperSplice, prepared this special Christmas Edition of his jingle sampler in December, 1977, his last holiday season in Chicago at WIND. Michael says he made this and all his Christmas Jingle Samplers on consumer equipment at home! Thankfully, he had great first-generation dubs of his jingles, and a clean tape head, and the tapes and machines were mostly all in alignment! (Freaky Amazing.) Like all the Neff samplers, the fidelity sounds professional, if not actually actually produced on “professional” equipment. All the jingle elves are busy at The Magnetic North Pole, and you’re one of the welcomed “Collectors” offered a front-row seat for this delightful composite of jingles from all over. They’re not all Christmas jingles, but there ARE Christmas jingles. It’s obviously suited for a Holiday presentation, but can also be enjoyed all year! REELRADIO and Media Preservation Foundation are delighted to offer this sparkling Michael Neff Sampler for your holiday happiness and enjoyment.

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!
