radio jingles
Catchy station songs
Radio jingles are short, catchy musical pieces used in broadcast advertising, typically featuring a memorable melody and lyrics that promote a product, service, or station.
They're designed to stick in the listener's mind: I still remember the jingles from commercials I heard as a kid.
The format emerged in early radio and remains a staple of audio advertising.
