A message from Jingle University Chancellor

Ben Freedman

Greetings to my fellow jingle collectors and radio historians. Below you will find a fascinating and challenging jingle collector’s exam. I will grade each one personally.

You need to know about the 1947-1965 great ones – PAMS, CRC, Pepper, Spot, Johnny Mann and Gwinsound. You also need to know about late 60’s and early 70’s era jingle companies like TM, WAY, CPMG and JAM. The USA and Canada radio applications of these jingles must be considered. Commercial jingles and station ID’s must be considered.

The Jingle University 300 page virtual campus and training CD’s are primarily designed for singers, musicians and songwriters. Since the start of Jingle University we have also enrolled numerous jingle collectors and radio historians. The reason – there is no other source on the planet as cool as Jingle University for collectors and radio buffs. The sounds, the photos, the music charts and the entire "inside scoop" on the jingle business is the ultimate experience for any serious jingle collector.

It is obvious, however, that a jingle collector would never spend the hours and hours of jingle company formation study time as we have experienced with our musicians, singers and songwriter students. These individuals have enrolled to make a full or part time career out of the jingle business and have a huge potential payback for our very reasonable $350.00 enrollment fee. These students also require my three year email and telephone consultations. Now collectors and radio historians can save big – but you need to pass the free exam with a score of 68 or better!

By being a qualified jingle collector, and thus by virtue of your years of study and experiences, you have already learned a great deal of what it takes to start your own jingle company. Therefore you are entitled to enroll in Jingle University and discover the "world of jingles" for a dramatic price discount. There is no obligation on your part to enroll in Jingle University if you pass the exam.

Depending on your exam score, you can have the privilege of receiving the free "World of Jingle University" CD, a discounted paid section password and user ID to Jingle University and hefty discounts on all the other exciting Jingle University CD’s that are so interesting to students and collectors alike.

So now, for the potentially qualified only, please proceed to take the exam found below. Take your time as you can only submit it once! I will personally email you with your results within 10 days or less.

Jingles Rock!
