Song of Saint St. John New Brunswick CHSJ 1150 AM Rare Promotional Single Rare

Description: “The Song of Saint John.” The song was produced by CHSJ and was composed by Richard H. Ullman, one of the great Jingle Kings, and makes the city sound glamorous as heck. Ullman composed jingles for radio stations across the globe in the late 1950’s and early 1960’s. “The Song of Saint John” is just one in a series on “Our Wonderful Cities,” which was once heard in cities that ranged from Halifax, Nova Scotia, to Hobart, Tasmania. The song acts as both a history lesson and an uplifting jingle that incites Saint John spirit. It transports you back to the golden era of big bands and highlights all of the City’s best qualities: Saint John has a spacious harbour and beaches for sunny days. Reversing Falls, and that’s not all! The Saint John River flows two ways! Saint John has Canada’s first museum, Lily Lake in Rockwood Park, Martello Tower and Loyalist House. Saint John’s fun even after dark! From inside the record sleeve is this little write up about the piece: The Song of Saint John” was produced by Radio Station CHSJ as a salute to the dynamic community which it is proud to serve. This song honours many of the features that help to make Saint John one of Canada’s leading cities: its homes, churches, schools, shops; its industries, and its tourist attractions, its people, and its surrounding communities; as well as the radio station, itself. This recording is identical with the one heard regularly on 1150 Radio. CHSJ sincerely hopes you enjoy this personal copy. We know that “The Song of Saint John” isn’t the only city jingle Ullman composed, and we would love to hear every one of them. While Ullman might have once been heard worldwide, there’s oddly little information about him available today. The quest for the remaining jingles continues. CHSJ-FM is a Canadian radio station broadcasting at 94.1 FM in Saint John, New Brunswick. The station plays a country music format under the Country 94 branding. CHSJ-FM is owned by Acadia Broadcasting, which also owns sister station CHWV-FM. HistoryOriginally known as CFBO, CHSJ's first broadcast was at 890 AM in 1928, under the ownership of C.A. Munro Limited. The current call letters were adopted in 1934 when four Saint John newspaper publishing shareholders — Howard P. Robinson, J.D. McKenna, T. F. Drummie and L. W. Bewick saw great potential for little CFBO and purchased it from Mr. C.A. Monro. After the sale CHSJ was owned by the Saint John Publishing Company. The current CFBO call letters have been assigned to the frequency of 90.7 MHz, branded as BO-FM as an adult contemporary francophone format radio station, broadcasting in Moncton since 2004. From 1934 to 1936, the station was an affiliate of the Canadian Radio Broadcasting Commission. In 1936, CHSJ affiliated with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and later with the CBC Trans-Canada Network. CBC station CBD went on the air in 1964 but CHSJ is listed as remaining a CBC Radio affiliate until at least 1980.[1] In 1944, Kenneth C. Irving purchased Saint John Publishing from its principal shareholder Howard P. Robinson. Along with the city's two newspapers he acquired the CHSJ station as part of the group. Later that year the company's name was changed to the New Brunswick Publishing Company. One of its operations was New Brunswick Broadcasting, responsible for radio station CHSJ. In 1947, CHSJ-FM signed on the air at 100.5 MHz, which became a co-owned station of the CHSJ that signed on in 1927 as CFBO. CHSJ-FM left the air in 1954.[2] CHSJ changed its AM frequency several times: to 1210 kHz in 1933, to 1120 in 1934, to 1150 in 1945, and to 700 in 1988. (The station was originally approved to move to 700 in 1985.)[3] On December 3, 1986, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) denied an application by New Brunswick Broadcasting to convert CHSJ to 94.1 MHz with 100,000 watts.[4] In 1998, however, CHSJ received approval by the CRTC to convert CHSJ to 94.1 MHz. Saint John is a seaport city of the Atlantic Ocean located on the Bay of Fundy in the province of New Brunswick, Canada. Saint John is the oldest incorporated city in Canada, established by royal charter on May 18, 1785, during the reign of King George III.[8] The port is Canada's third largest port by tonnage with a cargo base that includes dry and liquid bulk, break bulk, containers, and cruise.[9] The city was the most populous in New Brunswick until the 2016 census, when it was overtaken by Moncton. It is currently the second-largest city in the province, with a population of 67,575 over an area of 315.96 km2 (121.99 sq mi).[10] French colonist Samuel de Champlain landed at Saint John Harbour on June 24, 1604 (the feast of St. John the Baptist) and is where the Saint John River gets its name although Mi'kmaq and Wolastoqiyik peoples lived in the region for thousands of years prior calling the river Wolastoq. The Saint John area was an important area for trade and defence for Acadia during the French colonial era and Fort La Tour, in the city's harbour, was a pivotal battleground during the Acadian Civil War.[11] After over a century of ownership disputes over the land surrounding Saint John between the French and English, the English deported the French colonists in 1755 and constructed Fort Howe above the harbour in 1779. In 1785, the City of Saint John was established by uniting the two towns of Parrtown and Carleton on each side of the harbour after the arrival of thousands of refugees from the American Revolution who wished to remain British and were forced to leave their U.S. homes. Over the next century, waves of immigration via Partridge Island, especially during the Great Famine, would fundamentally change the city's demographics and culture. HOLLYWOOD — One of the most perplexing problems facing radio station management is how to come up with and perpetuate a distinctive “sound”. . . one which will set his station apart from the others. This problem is particularly acute in the multiple-station market where there are several stations programming the same type of music. During the past decade radio stations have been mushrooming by the hundreds with no apparent slowdown — until the most recent FCC freeze. The result of this uncontrolled “growth” to cite just a few examples are: Portland, Oregon — the 28th radio market with 11 metropolitan outlets, and Denver, Colorado — the 26th radio market with 16 AM metropolitan outlets. The newcomers to a market were the first to implement their programming and promotion with jingles on a large scale. The custom-made jingle packages soon became “the thing” for the driving rock and roller seeking to make its niche with a Top 40 sound in their respective market. Today, jingles are virtually being used by every radio station — no matter what the format or operation is to facilitate in attaining that all-elusive distinctive radio “sound. One of the people greatly responsible for the overall acceptance of radio jungles is Peter Frank, president of Richard H. Ullman, Inc., a “senior-statesman” of radio station services and musical sales messages in advertisement and commercials. Richard H. Ullman, Inc., boasts providing the industry’s most complete service to stations and advertisers. Their “Ullmanac” of sound numbers 40 different packages ranging in price — according to type and market size — from $360 to $31,000. The Ullman station services are categorized under four main packages: “Big Sound,” “Dimensional,” “Formatic,” and “SOP!” Offered within these four groups are production and programming aids such as “Calendar Girl,” 365 musical jingles giving the exact date, day and month with a musical pad for time and temperature — all personalized with the station’s call letters; “City Songs,” a salute to the station’s city or town with a specially written song, words and music included. Also made available is printed sheet music of the city song with the station’s call letters emblazoned thereon along with a 45 record — featuring an instrumental and vocal version — in a color sleeve with the lyrics printed on the back. Even More And there’s more: “The Exciters,” “Golden Era,” (a compilation of take-offs with emphasis drawn on the “big band” sound), “Happy Holidays,” “Hip” (top tunes intros, based on Billboard’s “Hot 100”), “Indelible ID’s,” . . . just to name a few. Peter Frank’s organization has available a series of 15 personalized musical productions designed for the promotion of the “softer sell” broadcaster. Another series entitled “Velvet Touch” is programmed in stereo for FM-stereo band operations. “You’ve got to keep ahead on the trends in this exciting business to be successful,” says Peter Frank. Frank’s organization in Hollywood, Dallas and New York keeps ahead with a concept called “Telstar.” Of primary importance these days are the country and western formatted stations; Ullman also provides of their product in a C&W service package for them as well. Among the many new services in the organization featured is Ullman’s acquisition of world-wide distribution rights to Gordon McLendon’s “The Old Scotsman’s Scrapbook,” a total of 316 five-minute vignettes featuring an actual recording of a history-making event, speech or statement. Demand Up “There has been an increasing demand form our subscribers for help in how best to utilize the production and programming aids we sell them. This year we’ve added a broadcasting and consulting division,” Frank remarked. In a business complicated with many varied formulas for pricing, the station manager and program director is frequently shaken by the jingle jungle. Frank is adamant in his criticism of the fly-by-nighters that have invaded the field and has, in his terms, created a plethora of confusion in who would best represent a client’s interest in any given market. “Untold damage has been done to the many legitimate jingle producers by some sellers of radio and musical jingles who establish prices and make deals that run from the sublime to the ridiculous. Extremely few businesses can have their products so loosely and variably priced. I can list a dozen ‘here-today-gone-tomorrow’ operations. . . one-shot, no follow-up people that would only take their money and not be heard from again,” Frank stressed. Frank, whose motto is “Caveat Emptor” (let The Buyer Beware) is sure of the product turned out guaranteed by his producers in the studios here, also elsewhere in New York and in Dallas, while naming Bill Bell and Will Scott under the management of Morton J. Wagner. Meanwhile, Frank invites the buyer to check around. Ultimately, he will expect they’ll eventually will choose Richard H. Ullman, Inc., a division of the Peter Frank Organization
