Rapid City is reeling from the relentless new Wolf package tearing up the airwaves through the Black Hills and beyond. New Program Director Eric Paul at KIQK - Kick 104 has recently transplanted himself from a position at KMPS, Seattle’s other Country station, and after hearing the Wolf package unleashed in his market and seeing the damage it can do, guess which package he chose when given the opportunity?

We’re excited to showcase the montage here as Mr. Paul is the first recipient of the package that features a dial position end sing… Up until now all syndicated versions of the package have totally resembled the original. We are feeling really good about the adaptation done for Kick 104. Um, and so is Eric:

Dude, the IQ Beats stuff is rockin’! When I made the move out here to Rapid City to turn this station around, you were my number one choice when it came to jingles. Management was resistant at first because they wanted something that was 100% barter… I hate settling, that’s not how you win in this business. I fought to make this happen and obviously was successful.

My biggest reason for choosing IQ Beats? The jingles sound nothing like those ‘cliche’ jingles. When I used to think jingles, I would think group sings with the pipe organ. I absolutely hate those! Welcome to 2007 people. We ordered the Wolf re-sing package because it sounds like no other jingle package out there - It has the fun, upbeat, hip sound I wanted for this station. The vocalists sound absolutely amazing! It fits perfectly with the sound that Country music is today. When you find yourself, or even better, when you hear other people singing along to your jingles… Damn that’s a great feeling!

Going back to the vocalists, Emily the female on the Wolf package; WOW! Her vocal range is absolutely amazing. She will make your station scream! Having the single female shots/transitions and the single male shots/transitions really keeps your station sounding fresh! And the two of them together on some of the cuts… Candy to the ears baby!

The variety this Wolf package provides, from the ’shots’ to the ‘transitions’ to the custom morning show stuff, I can’t say it enough… Absolutely amazing! The Traffic, Weather and Promo beds are rockin’ too.

Oh, get some X Factor cuts with your package! I can’t even begin to tell you how many compliments I’ve gotten on those cuts… they are sooooo original. They sound nothing like a jingle. It just adds some kick-ass variety to your rotation.

Customer service-wise, I’ve never worked with people in this trade more friendly than the guys at IQ Beats. Seriously, if I emailed a question, I’d have a response almost immediately.. and they actually answer their phone! Believe it. From beginning to end, personalized service. Michael and Kip have been great! Ordering this jingle package was the easiest thing I’ve done since I’ve been here.

I’m a young program director, and I’m sure I’ll land at other stations in my future… I will be using IQ Beats at whichever stations I land. They are that good! Worth every cent.

DO NOT SETTLE! Go with the best.

This message paid for by the Friends of IQ Beats, a subsidiary of the IQ Beats for President 2008 campaign. In all seriousness, it’s great to do what we do and have people happy about it. Thanks for the kind words Eric!
