JAM Creative Productions, Inc., is an American company that produces radio jingles, promo music for television, and commercial jingles for advertisers. It makes more radio jingles than any other jingle company and has become part of American pop culture.

The company was founded in 1974 by husband and wife Jonathan M. and Mary Lyn Wolfert. Prior to the formation of JAM, Jon worked for PAMS and was a fan of their work. Jon also worked briefly at TM Productions (now Jones TM) [http://www.jonestm.com] and did freelance work for Wm B. Tanner's Thunder Productions and others before forming JAM.

JAM is the only production house of its type which has been continuously owned and operated by its founders for over 30 years. It produces jingles for clients ranging from local DJs to the most listened-to radio stations.

Worldwide, the JAM client with the most listeners has been the BBC. Almost all jingles heard on BBC Radio 1 & 2 between the mid 70s and late 90s were made by JAM. In the United States, JAM has produced more custom jingles for KOST in Los Angeles than any other station, although WLS in Chicago is very close [http://www.jingles.com/jam/radioids/jamtalk.html#JT5] . JAM also produced most of the jingles for WABC New York from 1975 onwards. JAM's top-selling packing has been "Warp Factor" created for Z100 in 1985. Both XM Satellite Radio and Sirius Satellite Radio make extensive use of JAM jingles on their music channels.

The JAM building, which houses two recording studios, offices, and a large media archive, is located in Dallas, just east of the downtown area.
