In these demos you'll hear the famous Gwinsound library "GWIN". Founded in April 1965 in Dallas by Tom Gwin, Gwinsound rapidly operationalized itself as a high-output sonic branding unit, sustaining approximately 15 years of active jingle production through 1980. Under the primary compositional direction of Tom Merriman, the company deployed a premium vocal contractor model, using the same elite Dallas singers simultaneously retained by other houses—most notably Brian Beck, Jim Clancy, Abby Holmes, and Trella Hart—a strategic talent overlap that acoustically positioned Gwinsound’s output on parity with larger-scale competitors despite comparatively lean infrastructure. Gwinsound engineered a sonic identity calibrated for Top-40, MOR (Middle of the Road), and Country radio enabling scalable market penetration during that era. Packages aired coast-to-coast, a transnational broadcast circulation and airing not only in America but also within UK offshore radio throughout the Benelux region —including the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg—with Radio Northsea International (RNI) emerging as arguably the #1 non-US affiliate, thereby cementing the company’s global audio-branding footprint. Gwinsound reached hundreds of stations including: WDRC Hartford, WBBF Rochester, WNDR Syracuse, WTRY Albany, WROL Boston, WOND Atlantic City, WDXN Clarksville TN, WOHO Toledo, WOLF Syracuse, WZIP Cincinnati, WDBO Orlando, WKAT Miami, WLOF Orlando, KBOX Dallas, WSEN Syracuse, WYSL Buffalo, WDON Washington, DC, WINZ Miami, WILS Lansing MI, WILZ Saginaw, KSOO Sioux Falls, WPAG Ann Arbor, WTUU Toledo, KEEN San Jose CA, WYZE Atlanta, KLIF Dallas, WAKY Louisville, KFDI Wichita, WLS Chicago, WABC New York, KAYO Seattle, WSIX Nashville, WLNG Sag Harbor, CHUM Toronto... These great packages are now available for re-sing from ChorusTunes...

CLASSIC HITS is a one of the most popular and best format for delivering 35-54 Adults. This format plays feel-good music, hosted by outstanding personalities along with fun daily features and weekend themes. The classic hits format is considered the successor to the "Oldies" format. It is a radio format that generally features songs from the top 40 music charts spanning the late 60s to the early 2000s, with 80s music serving as the core of the format. The term "classic hits" is sometimes used interchangeably with the "adult hits" format, which utilizes a slightly more recent music library encompassing all decades up to the present, with a strong emphasis on 90s and 00s pop, rock, and alternative songs. Adult hits stations also tend to have larger playlists, playing a given song only a few times per week, in contrast to the tighter libraries and more frequent song rotations on classic hits stations. For instance, a prominent classic hits station in Los Angeles may play certain "power songs" up to 30 times a week. The "CH" format experienced notable growth in the 2010s, with high-profile stations like WCBS-FM in New York, WLS-FM in Chicago, and WROR-FM in Boston. According to Nielsen. There are now over 1,100 Classic Hits stations across the US, the largest number in the format's history. The radio industry adopted the term "classic hits" as the official moniker. Additionally, as new artists like Adele, Bruno Mars, Pink, and others became very popular, many adult contemporary (AC) stations that had featured a large library of 80s music started to phase it out, making these stations much more current oriented. Because of this, songs by well-known superstars like Madonna, Prince, George Michael, Michael Jackson... were no longer played on AC stations. The majority of these stations now play more contemporary music than artists from the 1980s, who have outlived their relevance in the AC format. Due to the format's increasing popularity, major markets have started to switch to classic hits as "The Drive" from adult contemporary on WIAD, Washington, D.C. in October 2018, from the adult contemporary format on "Fresh-FM." When radio programmer Scott Shannon moved his morning show to WCBS-FM in the 1980s, he introduced many of the 1980s-style radio formats to the station. Shannon was the mastermind behind the modern Top 40 era at WHTZ (Z100) in New York city.
