Radio IDs

This page contains various montages of radio IDs (better known as jingles) available for download. I first became interested in these when I was at school, fascinated that someone somewhere was going to all the trouble of creating these tiny (if occasionally cheesy) mini-songs.

Listen to some of Geoff Barton's personal jingles:

  • The first jingles I ever bought in my hospital radio days: SoundSonics from Tapetrix
  • Sung Jingles from Alfasound and, more recently, JAM Creative Productions of Dallas: Barton sung jingles
  • Learn more about how this unusual hobby began: Home Truths.

    I no longer upload many montages to the site. Instead, I'm host of the Bob Dinan jingle podcast where you can hear Bob's jingle samples updated two or three times a week.

    To visit the websites of the world's best-known jingle producers (I like American jingles best), take a look at

  • JAM Creative Productions
  • TMstudios
  • PAMS
  • Tony Griffin
  • Thompson Creative
  • ReelWorld
  • N2 Effect
  • RadioScape
  • Zone Radio Imaging
  • Jingles Factory
  • Kissville and
  • Groove Addicts

    You can download a number of jingles montages below and, at the foot of the page, there are links to the pages of more serious collectors.


    THE LEGENDARY BOB DINAN ...

    Updated several times a week, this is where legendary jingle collector Bob Dinan rants, raves and reminisces about the wonderful world of jingles, If you're new to the obscure tradition of radio IDs, here's where to start. Apologies for the recent loss of the blog - a stupid technical error by yours truly that may be another indication of why I never made it big in radio!
