Imagine if one of your friends walked around with a fake American accent - it would be so annoying.

Yet so many Australian FM radio stations think it’s OK.

These are some samples of old Australian station jingles - many of them recored in America. So out of place on this continent. At 32 seconds you get to the first Australia-made jingle and it’s for 2NX - and it sounds fantastic. At 1.10 - 2WS - unmistakably Australian.

I used to think it was because we could not record them in Australia - lack of talent or studio facilities. It’s actually just laziness. The smooth jingles are recorded in Australia - it’s obvious and they sound great.

The 2DayFM jingles are jarringly American. So many Australian radio stations do not have enough confidence to sound Australian.
