Greenville North Carolina, Home of E. C. U. [By Uncle Ricky] While at East Carolina University (1969-1970), I worked weekends at WOOW ( Big Wow! ). I was very excited to get a copy of the station’s PAMS master, but the jingles really weren’t in use at all by the time I got there. This class IV station (1KW day, 250w night) was owned by Danny Jacobson , who was also resident General Manager.
I’ll welcome any corrections to the story, but I think that Danny had been associated with WMEX in Boston in some way. He knew Stan Kaplan ( WAYS in Charlotte) and I suspect he got a “good buddy” deal on these, possibly the two most popular series of PAMS jingles. The jingles feature the original all-male group and are familiar not only to those who remember the tracks from WABC (and hundreds of other Top 40 stations) but also to those who remember the WKBW signature.
