KYW 1100 Cleveland jingles!

These jingles were a Mark Century production used on the old KYW/1100 in Cleveland back in the late 50s. (They were re-released some time ago by the now-defunct KENR back in the turn of the century.) Many of these are Specs and Howard, Jerry G., Jim Runyon, Jay Lawrence, Jerry G and Jim Stagg.

Successor station WTAM aired many of these jingles during a historical retrospective of the station back in 2003. (The logo, which was used from 1963 until 1965, is a modest recreation.)

KYW uses the same font today. However, they can be found at 1060 AM in Philadelphia today, and they feature streaming audio of their all-news program. If you want to do it old-school, KYW is a clear-channel (not to be confused with the radio company of the same name) station that can be received for thousands of miles at night. I have picked that station up in Blair, NE and Hell, MI. I have a copy of the June 14, 1940 issue of the Philadelphia Daily News and they list KYW at 1020 AM.

@jimmdoyle I used to have this 45 for the Cleveland Love Song too!! I ordered mine from KYW because I lived in Geneva on the Lake as a kid. I've been trying to find this song for years! I'm so excited!!! :)

I can't believe I found this great posting. I have the "45" of the "KYW Cleveland Love Song" that you have included here. It was produced as a charity fund raiser and sold at Record Rendezvous on Euclid. The record I have was recorded with "over modulation" and sounds bad. Your copy is crystal clear!! Thanks much.
