Bumper music

Bumper music is a term used in the radio broadcasting industry to refer to short clips of music used to buffer transitions between programming elements. Bumper music is commonly employed when a syndicated program takes a break for local station identification or "goes to commercial." More often than not called a "Bump" in today's radio.

Bumper music was first used heavily by Rush LimbaughFact|date=February 2008, who pioneered conservative AM talk radio in the United States. Extended news programs aired on non-commercial radio networks such as NPR also use short clips of music between stories and features, but these are known as buttons.
