JAM Creative Productions, Inc., is an American company that produces radio jingles, promo music for television, and commercial jingles for advertisers. It makes more radio jingles than any other jingle company and they have become a part of American pop culture.
The company was founded in 1974 by husband and wife Jonathan M. and Mary Lyn Wolfert. Prior to the formation of JAM, Jon worked for PAMS and was a fan of their work. Jon also worked briefly at TM Productions (now Jones TM) [1] and did freelance work for Wm B. Tanner's Thunder Productions and others before forming JAM.
JAM is the only production house of its type which has been continuously owned and operated by its founders for over 30 years. They produce jingles for clients ranging from local DJs to the most listened-to radio stations in the history of broadcasting. Worldwide JAM's largest client has been the BBC. Almost all jingles heard on BBC since the 1970s were made by JAM. In the United States, JAM has produced more custom jingles for KOST in Los Angeles than any other station, although WLS in Chicago is very close [2]. JAM also produced most of the jingles for WABC New York from 1975 onwards. JAM's top selling packing has been "Warp Factor" created for Z100 in 1985. Both XM Satellite Radio and Sirius Satellite Radio make extensive use of JAM jingles on many of their music channels.
The JAM building, which houses two recording studios, offices, and a large media archive, is located in Dallas, just east of the downtown area.
