The jingle company is JAM, I believe.  The same jingle is used at WYJB
in Albany (``DOUBLE-you-WHY-jay-BEE eff-em-Albany, BEE ninety-five
point five'').  I've heard it in a couple of other places that I can't
remember off-hand.  Putting in more cities would ruin the rhythm of
the track, I'm sure.

(It would have been a good jingle for the old WYSR in Waterbury,
too...  Scott will probably now chime in with the station in Utica
which doesn't use it but ought to...)
