Jingles
Most "Hot Hits" stations used a jingle package from TM Productions, Inc. (now JonesTM) of Dallas, Texas known initially as "The Actualizers" and syndicated combined with another package as "Fusion"; by 1982, however, the "Actualizers" cuts had been renamed "Hot Hits" to solidify its association with Joseph's stations (although the jingle package was not exclusive to Joseph-consulted stations, and in fact was used by some stations which programmed Oldies or even Country formats). The jingles were often played back-to-back two or three in a row.
The "Fusion" and "The Actualizer" jingles were actually created for TM in Los Angeles by Dick Hamilton. The original versions were sung in Los Angeles in Dick's studios by the Ron Hicklin Singers, but by the time of the "Hot Hits" format, the vocals were recorded exclusively in Dallas. Many of the station references for the "Hot Hits" jingles reside in the archives of Media Preservation Foundation.
