PAMS Clyde Jingles Demo for WKNR Detroit, 1971 (0:06:06)

Motor City Memory [By Uncle Ricky] This PAMS Demo for the jingles called Clyde from 1971 is featured here from my 7.5 ips reel copy in all its Orban Optimod processed glory. WKNR is the featured station, but I can’t tell you which of these jingles were actually used on ” KEENER 13 ” in Detroit. I do remember hearing some of these on WFIL in Philadelphia, and WJAR in Providence – and WYCL in York, South Carolina – where I bought a few from this very demo. This is not only an exceptionally generous demo (all the cuts are “in the clear”), it is, in my opinion, one of the best PAMS packages of all time. And we are treated to the original PAMS Copyright Jingle at the close. What more could you want? This was a *fabulous* set of jingles.

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!
