pams_logo_(mcrfb2)DALLAS — Radio syndicator Toby Arnold & Associates have agreed to acquire the entire master tape library of PAMS, producer of jingles and production music.

“It’s taken us over two years to reach an agreement to purchase and clear the PAMS tapes and productions,” Arnold comments. “The inventory amounts to more than one-million in music and recording. It includes all of the PAMS jingle packages, commercial music back- grounds, concepts, syndicated programming libraries, sales features, program specials as well as television and film scores,” Arnold notes.

PAMS for more than 20 years was recognized as a leader in the jingle field. Financial difficulties in 1977 resulted in the shutdown of operations.

Arnold says many stations have asked him about the possibility of updating the PAMS productions. “I’ve contracted Dick Starr to serve as executive producer in charge of PAMS projects,” Arnold says.

Arnold also stated that Starr “helped us create many new ideas for syndication” while he served as program director for KYA-AM, San Francisco, and WFUN-AM, Miami. “Now with Dick in Dallas and heading up our I6-track Starr Studios facility, he’s the natural choice to work on the updating, remixing, sweetening and repackaging for today’s radio needs.” END
