We've got some audio for you today, courtesy of a Kansas City radio alum by the name of Wyatt Cox. You may remember Wyatt from KUDL-AM/FM in the 1970s, but these days he's based in Ely, NV at KELY-AM (where, it should be noted, Richard Ward Fatherly is the station's voice). In addition to his duties at KELY, Wyatt also hosts the syndicated American Sunrise program, and others which you can find listed on his website.
A month or so ago, Wyatt was kind enough to send us some classic Kansas City jingles he found on a jingle album he had picked up on eBay. The jingles were heard on KANS (1510AM), and one even mentioned then-Program Director Ted Cramer by name. I was lucky enough to get to play them for him recently, and he says they would have aired in 1957, making them by far the oldest audio we've posted here yet. Give them a listen!

Judging from the tone of the jingles, sounds like KANS was EZ or MOR, not Country like Ted became famous for, at KCKN and 61-Country.
Ted's a great guy, and it's fun to listen to these jingles.
