"The famous WABC CHIME TIME Jingle- kinda, sorta.

I don't know if there are many now who'll recall this, but apparently WABC had this CHIME TIME jingle that was a combination of... Imma let the story tell itself; this is from the Musicradio.com site:

_"The series 30 PAMS demo features only the full-length version of the jingle ("The weather...is in! WABC"). It was the "WABC" from that cut (demo cut #4) that was snipped off and had the chime added to it. And it was a re-sing at that; the demo vocal is not the air vocal.

There has been some controversy concerning where the actual "chime" came from. Bill Meeks claims he rang the chime at PAMS on the "Grand Chimes" (a picture of these is on the PAMS website). However there is no demo version of this jingle with the chime. As Jon Wolfert points out, the actual chime heard on WABC was used by itself long before it was attached to this jingle. In addition, PAMS was never able to re-create that exact chime sound for any other station (and they DID try). Jon therefore believes that it was WABC itself that added the chime to the jingle.

I believe Jon is correct about this. Given that there is no demo version of this jingle from PAMS, it seems only logical that WABC added the chime to the jingle, not PAMS."_

So there's the story behind this cut- however, I'm not really sure THIS is the actual WABC CHIME TIME cut- the chime doesn't sound quite like what I've heard on old WABC airchecks. If this isn't the "official" cut, at least it's a good approximation of it.
