THE WXYZ ‘PAMS’ HIGH SCHOOLERS. ABOUT THESE JINGLES

In 1963, WXYZ commissioned PAMS of Dallas to create a plethora of outstanding jingles saluting the Detroit area high schools.

You will find every Detroit high school in the surrounding WXYZ listening area recognized in order — A through Z — throughout these collage of specially made PAMS jingle packages Motor City Radio Flashbacks presents here, and for the first time, all this week.

Which ever high school you may have attended on the Detroit map at the time, you can bet WXYZ paid homage to your school as named — and its colors — in the 1960s.
