How to make your own funky radio show style introduction?

Question

I always wondered how radio shows make those funky introductions. If you've watched the Family Guy episode where Brian and Stewie were hired to be radio show hosts, you'd know what I mean.

Usually its a bunch of girls singing something like "98.8FM, Dingo and the baby *baby crying noise*, *dog barks*, *Record scratching noise* Perfect Pair!"

What is the term that describes this type of introduction? Most importantly, how do I make it? Is there a website for it?

Answer 1

What you are looking fore are "Jingles."

You can make your own with basic editing software, and some basic equipment.

Most stations will have their jingles done by a professional "Production House" or use their own Production Director to do the stations imaging... Jingles, sweepers, liners etc.

Some small market stations will let the individual jocks make their own jingles, and liners, but the bigger stations are all about having a consistent "sound" all day long, so they would have all their jingled done by the same company.
