  • JAM Creative Productions, Inc. , is an American company that produces radio jingles, promo music for television, and commercial jingles for advertisers. It has made more radio jingles than any other jingle company and has become 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 and did freelance work for several other studios. JAM is the only production house of its type which has been continuously owned and operated by its founders for over 35 years. It produces jingles for clients ranging from local DJs to the most influential radio stations in the world. WPEN and WMGK Phildelphia were among the company's earliest major-market clients. Within a few years, JAM jingles were used by many of the most listened-to radio stations of all time including WABC New York, WLS Chicago and BBC Radio 1 and 2 in the UK. JAM also created themes and jingles for many syndicated radio programs, including those hosted by Casey Kasem, Dick Clark, Rick Dees, Dick Bartley, Bob Costas, Scott Shannon, Dan Ingram and others. In addition, JAM has worked for various TV clients including ABC-TV, NBC-TV, VH-1 and more. In 1985, JAM Creative Productions wrote and recorded a full-length song all about its radio jingles. "The JAM Song" was distributed on vinyl to radio stations as a promotional item, but was aired by several and has become a favorite among radio historians and jingle enthusiasts. You can listen to the song, and look at the lyrics and credits on the back of the record jacket here. Almost all jingles heard on BBC Radio 1 & 2 between the mid 70s and late 90s 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 . JAM's top-selling package has been "Warp Factor", created for Z100 in 1985. Since 2001, both XM Satellite Radio and Sirius Satellite Radio (now Sirius-XM) make extensive use of JAM jingles on their music channels. JAM jingles have also been used in movies and TV shows to add authenticity to the era or location of a scene. The JAM building, which houses two recording studios, offices, and a large media archive, is located in Dallas, just east of the downtown area.
  • ジャム・クリエイティブ・プロダクションズ（JAM Creative Productions）は、ラジオ番組のジングル制作を専門とするアメリカの会社。 ジングル制作数はアメリカ合衆国最大級で、もはや同社のジングルはアメリカの大衆文化と化していると言って良い。 同社は1974年にジョナサン・M、メアリー・リン・ウルファート夫妻によって設立された。社名のJAMは両名の英語表記（Jonathan M. and Mary Lyn Wolfert. ）の頭文字をとったものである。 JAM設立前、夫であるジョナサンは同じくアメリカ合衆国のジングル制作企業であるPAMSに勤務していて、彼自身PAMSのファンであった。ジョナサンはまた、TMプロダクションズ（現社名：ジョーンズTM）やWm B. Tanner's Thunder Productionsでのフリー勤務経験もある。 JAMは、創立後30年以上を経過した現在もなお、創設者夫妻所有の個人的な会社という扱いである。ジングルの供給先は、地元のDJから大手ラジオ局など、多岐にわたる。最大の取引先はBBCである。1970年代初めから、BBCで流されたジングルのほとんどはJAMで制作されたものである。 ジングルの供給量から見れば、最大の顧客はロサンゼルスのラジオ局KOSTである。シカゴのWLSへも次いで多い。1975年前半からは、ニューヨークのラジオ局WABCで流れる大半のジングルも請け負っている。 最も売れているジングルは、1985年に同じくニューヨークのラジオ局WHTZ向けに供給された"Warp Factor"である。 これらジングルは、同社のホームページで視聴する事ができる。 JAMは、テキサス州ダラスの繁華街から少し南に社屋を構える。
