Here's a lovely jingle/anthem for WMAL radio in Washington DC. I set it to Kodachrome footage from 1949. If anyone has an early WMAL logo, I'd love to include it in the film.

  • What a lovely and nostalgic blast from the past this is. This is very much the way I feel about WLW in Cincinnati. My brother and I used like in our beds at night and at midnight listen to the chanting monks at Mount Saint Mary's Seminary back in the 1950's. This is great.

  • @kwg1

    Thanks very much to CineGraphic for this vintage treasure! If anyone has it would of course be nice to hear the quicker version, too! PS: "WMAL.... have-a-groovy-weekend!"

  • I used to hear this from my clock radio every night at midnight when I was in high school. As I heard this, I was anticipating the voice of Bill Mayhugh to usher in the overnight.

  • "You are listening to Felix Grant with the album sound till midnight"

    --anybody remember that?

  • I grew up in DC--moved there in 1942 and lived there until 1972. Although I have lived far, far away from DC for 40 years, I'm still very homesick! This video brings back a lot of those memories--the trolleys, shopping on F Street, seeing the Old Vic Company perform "MacBeth" at the National Theater when I was a junior in high school, having lunch at the Neptune Room....I know things are vastly different there now, but I sure miss those days!

  • Grew up in DC area in the mid 60s. I remember this. Very nice, thanks for the memories.

    There was a shorter, quicker version of this same jingle that they would use too but I can't seem to find it anywhere? Anybody know where it could be found? Thanks again.

  • Excellent video! One of my favorite radio jingles of all time, and I'm glad I lived in the area when WMAL was at its peak.

  • @MrMike0553 Um... I believe the Joy Boys were on WRC.

  • If this doesn't make you proud to be a Washingtonian, you might as well just move to Baltimore or something.

  • I just love this jingle. Can anyone tell me how to get a copy of this?
