WXYZ ‘JAM’ Jingle Pak on MOTOR CITY RADIO FLASHBACKS
WXYZ-AM * 1980 * TALK TO ME
CLASSIC JAM ‘TALK TO ME’ WXYZ JINGLES
_______________
Within one year after the introduction of this JAM jingle sampler and WXYZ radio’s emergence in the “Talk-to-Me” radio format (beginning three years earlier), the station became the fastest growing adult station in the Motor City with an astounding 80 per cent audience growth, up 5.4 in ratings, and tied for third (with all-news WWJ), by October 1981.
According to the Detroit Free Press (October 13, 1981), the station’s talk format was “carefully blended with the news-sports-traffic-weather package.”
In the fall of 1981, the WXYZ line-up comprised of talkers Mike Miller and Dan Streeter, Pat Broderick (mornings), Mark Scott, Paul Harvey (syndication), Jacqui (psychic), Dr. Sonya Friedman, David Newman, Kevin Joyce, followed by all-nighter, national syndicated broadcaster, Larry King (Midnight-5:30 a.m.).
