Jonathan Wolfert's love of radio jingles began in the 1960s listening to the radio, whilst growing up in
New York City. As he began to learn about broadcasting, he discovered that the pieces of music used to announce the name of the station were called "jingles" and were made by a small number of very specialized companies, most of which were in Dallas. In 1971 Jon moved to Dallas to work for
PAMS, one of the top jingle production houses of the day. About 3 years later he and his wife decided to create their own company. JAM officially began in November 1974. The name came from the initials for "
Jon
And
Mary Lyn". The company went on to make jingles for radio stations around the world. Some of the most famous are for
WABC (AM),
KOST,
WLS on AM and
FM,
Z-100,
BBC Radio 1 and
2. Jon Wolfert presents a weekly radio show on 'Rewound Radio', an internet Radio station broadcasting from New York, providing oldies (over 3000 of them) and the custom made PAMS/JAM jingles. ==References==
