Radio jingles in Tampa Bay and Orlando!

I've got more news about Tampa Bay radio station jingles.

US 103.5 (WFUS) had jingles from ReelWorld's KILT jingle package in the past. 91.5 WCIE (The Joy FM) has also been using RW since re-sings of their WLIT packages first aired. The Joy FM would later go on to use RW's Key 103 packages.

WRBQ had jingles from Tony Griffin Productions' Super Hits jingle package, originally created for WWSW-FM in Pittsburgh, PA, which was later resung for the revival of the Q105 branding. WRBQ later went back to using JAM Creative Productions jingles from their CHR days, but in 2012, JAM's Turbo Z cut #10 returned as the legal ID jingle for the station, and it began airing newer re-sings of some cuts from The Flame Thrower, Warp Factor, and Turbo Z, but Q105 has kept the jingles from those packages, plus a few from Red Hot and Power Station, since it added re-sings from The Flame Thrower, Warp Factor, and Turbo Z in 2012.

The Red Hot and Power Station re-sings for Q105 were first heard during its CHR days in 1986, but other JAM jingle packages that were heard on Q105 were Positron, Outstanding, The Rock, and FM.

In the late 1980s, 95.7 was using Dallas Power by TM Communications. The station would later become the original WMTX, Mix 96, and start using JAM jingles, re-sings of their Q Cuts package. Mix 96 would later air re-sings of TM Century's Y98 FM by 1993, but re-sings of JAM's Hyperlink were heard during the final days of Mix 96.

In the 90s, 107.3 used Thompson Creative's Houston's Mix as WCOF, Coast 107.3.

WFLZ had JAM jingles in the past. In the late 1980s, as Z93, the station would use JAM's Maximum Power. Later, as Power 93 (The Power Pig), 93.3 used Skywave. 104.7 never picked up Skywave like 93.3 did when it was rebranded as Power 93.

In the past, 100.7 was using JAM's The Only One as WUSA-FM (W101) and later used TM Century's KIIS packages as 100.7 Kiss FM (WUKS and later WAKS). In late 1999, the WMTX call sign was revived on 100.7, which would stay with TM Century at the time, using re-sings of Millennium Mix. Mix 100.7 would later go back to JAM for re-sings of The Best Mix in Denver, but would later switch to RW's KHMX package.

WWRM used JAM's KOST packages in the past as Warm 94.9 FM when the station was relocated from 107.3 in 1993. But WWRM would later stop using jingles and become Magic 94.9. The station keeps the WWRM call letters from the Warm 107 FM days at 107.3 and the later Warm 94.9 FM days.

In nearby Orlando, 105.1 has been using JAM jingles in the past. As WBJW, BJ105, 105.1 had used JAM's Hot KIIS and Fresh Kiss but they later used Skywave. As Mix 105.1 WOMX, 105.1 used JAM's Breakthrough and later Thompson Creative's Houston's Mix. On 99.9 WNFI (I100), re-sings of Hit After Hit and The Flame Thrower were heard. WHLY (Y106) at 106.7 used JAM's Warp Factor and Red Hot, then later switched to TM's Dallas Power before the XL 106.7 days.

105.9 has been using re-sings of classic JAM packages like The Flame Thrower and Z Force as 105.9 Sunny FM.
