Getting the jock jingles done correctly always was a challenge.
Jack Thys was one of the announcers I worked with at CJOC in Lethbridge in the late '60's
PD Bob Lang sent a list of the jocks names plus a tape where he properly pronounced each one to the US jingle factory (I can't remember which one) but we did have some earlier PAMS Sonovox series ones.
Anyway, the jingle tape came back with the singers going "Jack Thighs!"
It was pronounced Ties.
I guess they never listened to the tape.
