Sky Radio’s Power To Higher Top-of-mind Positioning
When you’re aiming to energise your playlist while connecting your brand to top songs, consider the use of power intros! Sky Radio in the Netherlands has received another couple of batches of these branded hit songs.
Power intros are memorable
“Power intros are excellent tools to claim your ‘A’ category songs as a part of your station’s brand”, Thomas Giger of PURE Jingles explains. “Distinctive branded intros that have been repeated often enough will stick in people’s minds. Chances are they will associate that great-testing song with you.”
This strategic branding value can also translate into ratings: “Hearing the normal version of that song, even on another station, listeners who know your power intro will often hum YOUR station name along the melody of your branded version. It’s one of those miracles of audio branding! Sung melodies are memorable, research shows.”
Branded intros work everywhere
“In diary-measured, recall-based markets, your station can get extra listening credits as people may THINK they’ve been listening to you – while it may actually could have been a competitor. Especially when the other station doesn’t have their own power intro version or doesn’t precede the song with imaging.”
Branded intros also add value to PPM-market radio: “Power intros are contributing to higher top-of-mind positioning. And just as important: they’re flow-friendly. Dropping the imaging on the song, instead of in between two songs, helps to achieve forward momentum. Short jingle cuts work well too, especially in front of ‘no-intro’ songs.”
Sky Radio’s new power intros
Check out highlights from Q2/’22 at purejingles.com/showcase/skyradio-2. And when you’re looking for branded intros tailored to your own radio station, you can explore the monthly-updated ‘PURE Intros’ service at purejingles.com/intros.

Benztown, McVay Media Launch Timely Podcast about Recovery with Host Matt Pinfield
Benztown + McVay Media Podcast Networks announces that it has launched a new podcast today, Sound, Sobriety & Success, hosted by Matt Pinfield, renowned Rock journalist, national television and radio personality, and music executive. The former MTV host – currently heard on hundreds of radio stations across the country as host of Westwood One’s Rock radio show, “Flashback” – has been a fixture in the music scene for three decades and has been on the road to recovery along the way, with a little help from his friends. Vocal about his sobriety journey, Pinfield talks to people from all walks of life who have hit rock bottom and are finding their way back from addiction in this inspiring podcast. Kicking off the Sound, Sobriety & Success podcast are Pinfield’s guests Jeff Jampol, Dr. Drew Pinsky, and Shireen Janti, with upcoming episodes to feature Matt Sorum, drummer for Guns N’ Roses and Velvet Revolver, and sports agent Leigh Steinberg.
Matt Pinfield, Host of Sound, Sobriety & Success, said: “Living clean and sober is a beautiful gift for those of us who have struggled with addiction. Through this podcast, I am grateful to share the success stories of people in recovery to help others fight and understand their battles with alcoholism and addiction. I want to help people identify similarities in others’ stories to understand how they have successfully made their life changes.” He added: “This podcast is a natural for me, as I have been transparent about my own struggles and journey in recovery and how it has completely changed my life for the better. I think this podcast is a great way to be of service through storytelling – sharing the faith, strength and hope that many of my contemporaries and friends have experienced.”
Pinfield explained: “The success we are speaking to in Sound, Sobriety & Success is not financial, but success in living your life in a manner that moves you forward in a positive direction. It is important that we let people who are struggling know that they can do it and are not alone. Through the experiences of others, they can become their own architects in a new design for life – a life that is about progress, not perfection.”
Dave “Chachi” Denes, Producer and Co-Founder, Benztown + McVay Podcast Networks, commented: “The Sound, Sobriety & Success podcast is all about open and honest discussions about recovery and addiction, and offers raw and unfiltered information and insight, paired with deep empathy, compassion and support to anyone living with addiction and trying to turn their lives around. As producer of Matt’s successful Rock radio show, “Flashback”, nationally syndicated by Westwood One, we are proud to produce this inspiring new podcast that takes listeners on the journey to sobriety and brings light to a topic often cloaked in darkness.”
Listen to the first three episodes of Sound, Sobriety & Success featuring host Matt Pinfield debuting now, with Matt’s special guests Jeff Jampol, Dr. Drew, and Shireen Janti on all major podcast platforms and at: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sound-sobriety-and-success-with-matt-pinfield/id1629471594. Fans can expect a new episode every other Monday.
Jeff Jampol is a Grammy-winning and Emmy-nominated producer who serves as the CEO of JAM, Inc, managing well-known bands, artists, and their estates. Jampol is also a longtime outspoken advocate on the power of sobriety and has played an important part in Pinfield’s own recovery. They discuss their mutual love for rock music, advice for those who are seeking recovery, and the biggest misconceptions about addiction.
Dr. Drew Pinsky, known nationally as “Dr. Drew,” has been a ubiquitous fixture both on television and radio for the entirety of his multifaceted career. Passionate about treating addicts and helping them live sober lives, Dr. Drew was a vital part of the team that helped Matt Pinfield with his own recovery. Listen as longtime friends Matt and Dr. Drew delve into the myths and misunderstandings of addiction to erase the stigma behind it and shine a light on realistic paths to recovery.
Shireen Janti is the Senior Director of Mental Health & Addiction Services at MusiCares and helps to provide mental health and addiction recovery to music professionals. As a former addict who has long been in recovery, Shireen seeks to help others who are struggling and is an advocate for women who are stuck in unsafe or unhealthy situations. Matt speaks with Shireen about their shared love for the entertainment business, music, and giving back to those who are in need.

Tokyo FM Celebrates Music of Haruki Murakami with new program Murakami Radio
TOKYO FM’s music program “Murakami RADIO” (last Sunday of every month from 19:00 to 19:55), in which the writer Haruki Murakami acts as a disc jockey.
Tokyo FM announced the success of its first broadcast of Murakami Radio, a new program celebrating the music of renowned artist Haruki Murakami, who also acts as the presenter. It airs every last Sunday of the month, 7 pm.
The show was piloted with the theme “The Haruki Murakami Library” from Makoto Wada Record Collection.
Murakami’s music has always been honored at the station as a live event, but this time Tokyo FM turned it into a regular program.
Mr. Murakami himself presents and talks about music at a studio built at the Waseda International House of Letters (commonly known as the Haruki Murakami Library), which opened in October last year.
The theme of this public recording is “From Makoto Wada Record Collection”. Makoto Wada, an illustrator who died in 2019, has a close relationship with Murakami and has worked on many bindings and illustrations for Murakami’s works.
This time, the station introduced the record collection that Mr. Murakami carefully selected from the huge number of records left by Mr. Wada and donated to Waseda University, along with valuable episodes and explanations
Jingles with good vibes for 100% NL
100% NL has completely renewed its audio branding with PURE Jingles. Positive sounding AC jingles, matching ‘the best music of the Netherlands’ as the station’s positioning says.
“In order to keep up with new music trends, we want to regularly update the jingles,” says Herbert Visser. Together with Carlo de Boer, he’s managing Dutch commercial radio operator RadioCorp. “In November, PURE Jingles already contributed to the launch of our soft-pop station Sunlite. The result of that good collaboration made them the logical choice for us to also restyle our flagship.” Over 1 million listeners tune in to 100% NL every week.
Strategy
“One of the most important things you hear on a station is the jingle package,” radio director Martijn Zuurveen explains. “Sound design creates the recognisability and a nice feeling that you want to listen to. Completely matching with the target group of young families that we reach. Our sonic branding supports the program & music strategy. Especially in his time, where ‘Nederpop’ (Dutch Pop) is loved.”
Result
“It is always a great and beautiful moment to renew our jingles”, radio coordinator Raoul Schram adds. He supervised the project on behalf of 100% NL. “After the initial briefing, we were able to provide suggestions for perfections. PURE Jingles handles feedback very well and has 20 years of experience. They know what they are talking about and that is a great way of working. And they always deliver quality. We now also have the best jingles in the Netherlands.”

Listeners Send Appreciation for Inclusivity in Tokyo FM Radio Program
Tokyo FM’s mission transcends beyond entertainment and information, the station touches lives and the community. And this is even truer today, as radio host Takuya Kimura, shared a message from a teenage listener who was inspired by the program “Takuya Kimura Flow supported by GYAO”.
This month, a teenager who is suffering from stuttering, shared this message.
“The other day, I sent a message about stuttering. Thank you for reading the last time! I had a hard time living with stuttering, but Mr. Kimura’s words saved my heart and I decided to do more and more.”
“I hope I can overcome it. Thank you for giving me such kind words! “, says an 18 year old female listener who also suffers from the same disorder.
“I have had stuttering since I was a child, and like this person, I really love talking, but I can’t speak because I’m afraid of getting stuck (in words).” – from another listener.
“There are a lot of things that are painful, painful, and regrettable, so I can understand the feelings,” said another radio listener.
“Mr. Kimura’s encouragement touched my heart very much. Thank you! I hope that the program will encourage more people with stuttering all over the country,” said a 53 year old woman from Tokyo.
Kimura said, “I’m very happy that (listeners) are connected through this radio. I would be happy if you could make (this program) a place for exchanging opinions.
TOKYO FM “Takuya Kimura Flow supported by GYAO!” started airing this month and broadcasts everyday Saturday.

New Dutch Sing-Along In The Making: This Is Joe
Joe 70s & 80s is a new national radio station that went on air at the beginning of this month via DAB+ in the Netherlands. The station called on BRANDY for its sound – and the result is a contemporary package that perfectly matches the music of the 70s and 80s. The music was originally composed for Joe in Belgium; so, the tracks for Joe 70s & 80s received new vocals and a very catchy ‘This is Joe!’ sonic logo.
DPG Media Nederland, which also owns Qmusic, started the new national channel on 1 May via DAB+. Joe 70s & 80s plays classics and hits from those 2 decades.
From ABBA to ZZ Top, from George Michael to Michael Jackson, and from Prince to Queen … the station focuses on the time when disco, funk, soul and rock reigned supreme.
The jingles for Joe 70s & 80s are a customized production of jingles from the ‘Joe All the Way’ packages, which were produced for the station of the same name in Belgium.
