serving fun universe wifc u 93 those are the ones I remember hearing it from I think that one of the coolest jingles in the usa when y 107 nashville was on the air I heard there too
"Serrrrrrrrrrrrrving the Universeeeeeeeeeeee!" was originally used at rock stalwart WMMS/Cleveland from the late 70s (if not earlier) until 2000. Z100 was launched by WMMS' owners in 1983. Which is partially why Ernie Anderson was used for the top-of-hour IDs.
Also to add Sou. Cal.'s radio market was the 2nd most populated in the country, a strong economy back in the '80s before hard times in the early '90s and proximity to Mexico, where "border radio" owners had a heyday in freedom in wattage limits (actually, none in Mexican law) but in the late '80s Mexican government began to interfere. CKLW 810Windsor/Detroit is a faded memory, the Canadian government required them to play 3 hours of Canadian artist songs and CBC talk programs for Detroit.+
Thanks for posting Z100-FM, the East coast's answer to KISS-FM I grew up with in So. Cal. one of the first superstations in FM radio back in the '80s. Now about the Z100 (KQLZ) in L.A., I thought was actually from San Diego (KZSD) and was competiting with X-91 down there. But not every spot in So. Cal. was able to receive Z100 and KISS-FM 102.7, it depended on what car stereo you have and was until later affiliates arrived in the exteriors of So. Cal. (100-150 miles from L.A.) in the '90s.+
I miss both Power 104KRBE and Club104KRBE. They played special mixes of hit music back then. They would also take the background adlibs out of certain songs (which to this day I am still trying to do) They continued their special mixes until Labor Day of 1991. I would say after 2000 KRBE sucks.

KPLZ used Killer B96 from TM Studios. Not a JAM jingle at all. Allthough they used Ernie Anderson as the VO.

you're right, WMEE did have cut 10. and it seems that the WPLJ commercial promo came true. Z100 was cool in the 80's and 90's, and now there zit100!

The Second Rendition Jingle is for "EASTON" not "Houston".
It's an online station originated in Easton, PA.

That Houston station is none other than world famous KRBE, then known as "Power 104".

Actually it's from a internet station called "80's Hit Machine" and the city is Easton in Pennsylvania.
Good stuff. I've enjoyed hearing the montage of cut 10 from JAM's "Turbo Z" package.

100.3 was the cooliest radio station during the 80's and early 90's then it went all club and dance music and became lame.

I agree. I used to love Z100 in the 80s and early 90s. I am no longer a fan of that station.
