Still more from the State of Maine

December 14, 2005 By Lance Venta 7 Comments

I’m having no better luck making a funny about Maine than Brian did a few weeks back – so I’ll just throw up a whole bunch of June 2005 material from Portland and Augusta (which we define broadly as including pretty much everything in mid-Maine between Bangor and Portland), and hope for warmer weather soon. (Maybe it’s time to dig out my San Juan legals from 1996…)

    Why would WJAB have PAMS jingles? I like them.

    I believe those are a throwback to the days when 1440 really was WJAB (and not just using the “WJAB” non-ID at all times except the top of the hour.)

    The real WJAB calls are on a noncommercial station in Huntsville, Alabama. I have a legal ID from them somewhere, which I’ll dig out and post eventually, unless Chris Cuomo beats me to it and sends one in.

    Why would a sports station use PAMS jingles? Just wondering.

    Ah, that’s an easy one. J.J. Jeffrey, who owns the station (and appears on its morning show), is himself a veteran top 40 jock, and before he was on WRKO and WLS, he worked at the old WJAB 1440. Once you get the sound of PAMS in the blood, you can’t get it out.

    Puerto Rico legal IDs would be cool to hear sometime, even if the temps aren’t so bad where I’m at in Tampa (hey, I’ll be in NYC for two weeks in January.)

    Are the legal id’s in San Juan, Puerto Rico in Spanish or English? I would like to hear that.

    They’re mostly in Spanish, with the exception of the two English-language AMs. I guess I’ll have to pull out that tape and put some of them up in the next few weeks!
