Jon has them listed as "Hot and CHR" rather than "A/C" (A-C).

Not sure why, the demo stations are all AC (maybe Now 97.9 is borderline Hot AC), and the sound definitely doesn't fit CHR. [Edit: I see it's been changed now.]

I'll have to work on that one. :)

I believe KRNO was previously using the same Novaz jingles as More FM Philadelphia, and had Reelworld KIIS resings in their later days as Sunny, so this might only be their second JAM package. I do remember them having JAM's Keyframes earlier.

That's a good idea. I actually heard one cut on KABX that's not on the demo, interestingly. The weather cut has actually been on Now 97.9 for a good while, but I hadn't heard anything else from this package on there.
Anyway, I do like the clean, bright sound of these cuts. They're not the most high-energy or cutting-edge AC jingles out there, and probably won't sway JAM's critics, but they're a good fit for the tempo and texture of today's AC format with just enough effects to make them stand out in a good way. The vocals are certainly fresh-sounding, a bit reminiscent of some Zone and modern-day TM work, and I recognize the female singer that was used on Geoffy B's Fresh 102.7 resing. Also interesting to hear a Reelworld WLIT-type logo on the More FM versions - hope it doesn't sound too "screechy" for some of you folks here. :)

my head was turning them into "Jay-One" - where's Michi! Those WOULD I think suit that particular style :^)
