Description

Short public service announcement then time check at three and a half before two. “Okay John Let's take another call”.
Next call is Jean from Hamilton, Ohio a first time caller (round of applause). She listens to “BZ” every night. Jean talks about a station from Bonaire that is on the same frequency as WBZ and its musical jingle can be heard often in the background of WBZ programming.

(Note from Glicknick Dave: This is the mysterious jingle that I have noticed many times while listening to these shows back in the 1970's. When I began to digitize these shows in 2006, I took each instance of this jingle and made an audio file of the jingle. Why? Being a radio monitoring enthusiast, I enjoy DX'ing – listening to radio stations from distant locations. I first commented on this DX jingle in 2010 in the Larry Glick Yahoo Group and uploaded a clip of that DX jingle as I had as of 2010. (September 14, 2010 - Message 124)

Here is the message:

For those of us Glicknicks who lived some distance from the WBZ transmitter, areas where the station would fade
in and out, like here in Ohio, you may recall every hour or so in the background you could hear the notes of a
musical jingle from another radio station. I often wondered what station it was. It wasn't WHO Des Moines, Iowa on 1040, which we clearly hear fading in often on the clips posted on this page. I tuned into Larry one morning after 4am while he was reading a letter from a listener. He was telling Larry about that same musical jingle. The listener explained to Larry that it was a very powerful radio station in the Caribbean. That same musical jingle can be heard throughout the clips that are posted on our podcast page. As an extra part of the Larry Glick digitization project,
every time this jingle occurs, I copied it to a separate audio clip and spliced them together. So far I have a total of 1 minute 44 seconds. From time to time as I gather more instances of the jingle, I'll add it to these existing clips and repost it. Does anybody remember this?
