Radio jingles are the short branded clips a station plays between songs: the station ID, sweepers, liners and show intros that tell listeners where they are. They come in two kinds. Sung jingles have a melody and singers and are made by jingle houses. Voiced jingles have an announcer reading the line over an intro, a music bed and an outro. JingleLark makes voiced jingles with AI: type your station name or a line, pick one of 24 radio voices or clone your own, and it mixes the voice with sounds from a library of 88 intros, beds and outros. Each jingle comes back in seconds, and you download it as MP3 or WAV.

Radio jingle samples: a complete station package
Jingle houses sell jingles as packages: one sound for a station, cut into a station ID, short IDs, sweepers and show opens. These eight cuts are a package for one made-up station, Kettlebrook FM, made with the studio above. Every cut uses the same voice, Johnny Dynamite, so the station sounds like one station, and most share the same synthwave intro and bed family.
Script: “You're listening to Kettlebrook FM. Real music, real neighbours, all day long.”
Voice: Johnny Dynamite (Radio & DJ)
Sounds: Chrome Intro, Chrome Sunset bed, Bell Tag outro
Characters: 78 · Length: 9.4 seconds
Loudness: -18.7 LUFS, peak -4.6 dBFS
The longest cut in the package and the one listeners hear most. It says the name and what the station stands for. Add your frequency or call letters if listeners know you by them.
Script: “Kettlebrook FM.”
Voice: Johnny Dynamite (Radio & DJ)
Sounds: Neon Stab intro, Bell Tag outro
Characters: 15 · Length: 3.3 seconds
Loudness: -15.6 LUFS, peak -2.6 dBFS
Just the name. Short enough to drop between two songs without slowing the music down.
Script: “It's the top of the hour. This is Kettlebrook FM, streaming live, wherever you are.”
Voice: Johnny Dynamite (Radio & DJ)
Sounds: Broadcast Open intro, Retro Grid bed, Bell Tag outro
Characters: 83 · Length: 8.6 seconds

Voice: Johnny Dynamite (Radio & DJ)
Sounds: Reverse Sweep intro, Exit Sweep outro
Characters: 46 · Length: 5.1 seconds
Loudness: -17.0 LUFS, peak -3.1 dBFS

Sounds: Retro Arp intro, Chrome Sunset bed, Smooth Fade outro
Characters: 70 · Length: 8.1 seconds

Sounds: Radio Blip intro, Slow Coffee bed, Bright Chime outro
Characters: 65 · Length: 5.5 seconds
Loudness: -18.4 LUFS, peak -4.7 dBFS
Asks listeners to do something. A slower bed makes it sound friendly rather than loud.
Made on 20 October 2026. Length and loudness are measured on the downloaded MP3 with ffprobe and the EBU R128 loudness filter. Kettlebrook FM and Kettlebrook Breakfast are made up for these examples. LUFS measures how loud a clip sounds to a listener; numbers closer to zero are louder.
Radio jingles for different station formats
The same studio can sound like a news station, a rock station or a hit station. Change the voice and the sound family, keep the station name. These six cuts are a main ID, a sweeper and a top-of-hour ID for two more made-up stations.

What goes in a radio jingle package
Every station uses its jingles in different places in the hour. This table lists each cut above, what it is for and where it plays.
| Cut | What it is for | Where it plays | Ours |
|---|---|---|---|
| Main station ID | Name plus slogan, the station in one line | Every few songs, and after a break | 9.4 s |
| Short ID | Just the name | Between two songs back to back | 3.3 s |
| Top-of-hour ID | Marks the hour | On the hour, before the news | 8.6 s |
| Sweeper | Moves from one song to the next | Between songs, often mid-energy | 5.1 s |
| Liner | What the station is about | Between songs or over a track ending | 8.1 s |
| Show intro | Opens one programme | Start of the show | 7.8 s |
| News or weather intro | Signals a change from music | Before news, weather or travel | 6.0 s |
| Promo | Asks listeners to do something | Between songs, a few times a day | 5.5 s |
Length follows the script: about 13 characters per second of speech, plus the intro and outro. To fit a shorter slot, shorten the line.
For a script for each kind of cut, see station ID and radio jingle scripts.
Voiced or sung: which radio jingles do you need?
Voiced and sung radio jingles do different jobs. This table compares them.
| Voiced jingle | Sung jingle | |
|---|---|---|
| What you hear | A radio voice reading your line over an intro, bed and outro | Singers performing your station name to a melody |
| Who makes it | You, in the studio above | A jingle house such as TM Studios or ReelWorld |
| Changing a line | Type a new line and build again | Re-record with the jingle house |
| What you get | IDs, sweepers, liners, show intros and promos | A sung logo, often with donuts: a sung open and close with a gap for the presenter to talk over |
JingleLark does not sing and does not write music. It makes the voiced cuts, read by a radio voice and mixed with sounds from its library. A sung logo is hard to beat when the station name is the hook and the budget allows it.
- Choose voiced jingles if you run an internet, community, hospital or student station, change your lines often, or need a full set this week.
- Choose a jingle house if you want a melody people sing along to and can wait for a custom package to be written and recorded.
Many stations use both: a sung logo from a jingle house, plus voiced sweepers and liners they can change any time.
How to make your own radio jingle package
To make a radio jingle package, list the cuts, pick one voice, type each line, add an intro, bed and outro, and download each cut as MP3 or WAV.
- List the cuts you need. The table above is a good start: one main ID, one short ID, a sweeper, a liner and an intro for each show.
- Pick one voice for every cut. One voice across the package is what makes it sound like one station.
- Type the first line in the studio. Use the Radio ID or Sweeper template if you want a starting line to edit.
- Choose an intro, bed and outro and press Build. Keep one sound family across the package, and build again with other sounds until it fits.
- Download each cut as MP3 or WAV and name the file after the cut, for example main-id or sweeper-01, so it is easy to find in your playout software.
What does a jingle package cost?
A cut of up to 220 characters is 1 credit. On the Starter pack, $14.90 for 50 credits, that is $14.90 ÷ 50 = about $0.30 a credit. All eight cuts above are under 220 characters, so the package is 8 credits, 8 × $0.298 = about $2.38. We generated the sweeper twice and kept the second take, so this package actually took 9 credits, about $2.68. Choosing sounds, rebuilding and downloading cost nothing, and purchased credits never expire.
How do you add radio jingles to your playout software?
Download the cuts and add them to your playout software as jingles or sweepers, then schedule them in your clock. Step-by-step instructions for AzuraCast, RadioDJ, mAirList and PlayIt Live are in how to add jingles to your playout software.

Radio jingles FAQ
What are radio jingles?
Radio jingles are short branded clips a station plays between songs, such as station IDs, sweepers, liners and show intros. Sung jingles have singers and a melody; voiced jingles have an announcer reading a line over music and sound effects. JingleLark makes voiced radio jingles with AI.
Does JingleLark make sung jingles?
No. JingleLark makes voiced jingles, not sung ones: a radio voice reads your line and it is mixed with an intro, a music bed and an outro. If you need a singer or an original melody, a jingle house is the right call.
How long does it take to make a jingle package?
Each voice usually comes back in a few seconds, and building it with sounds is instant, so the eight cuts above can be made in one sitting. A cloned voice takes about 30 to 60 seconds per line. There is no production queue to wait for.
Can the jingles say my station name and slogan?
Yes. You type the words, so every cut says your station name, your slogan and your show names. Scripts can be up to 900 characters, about 70 seconds, which covers IDs, sweepers, liners and short promos.
Can I use my own voice?
Yes. Record or upload 8 to 30 seconds of clear speech, confirm you have the right to use that voice, and it appears next to the radio voices; you can keep up to 5. Creating the clone is free and each jingle costs the usual credits. You cannot upload a finished voiceover or change a voice.
Can I make radio jingles in Spanish or another language?
Yes. JingleLark detects the language of your script and reads it in that language, for about 30 languages. The voices are English-native, so expect an accent. For a native accent, clone a native speaker's voice with their permission; cloned voices work in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Russian, Chinese, Japanese and Korean.
Can I download the intros and music beds on their own?
No. The intros, beds and outros are mixed into your jingle and are not sold or downloaded on their own. Every finished file includes at least one of them.
Can I use the jingles on air commercially?
Yes. Jingles you download are royalty-free for radio, podcasts, social media and paid ads, with no per-play fees and nothing to renew.
What file formats do I get?
MP3 and WAV, downloaded as many times as you like at no credit cost. The WAV is converted in your browser from the same mix as the MP3, for playout software that prefers WAV.
Is JingleLark free?
You can start free. A new account gets 1 credit, enough for one jingle, and each 7-day check-in streak adds 1 more (check-in credits expire after 30 days). Voices and sounds play before you sign up, and mixing and downloads are free with no watermark. The voice is what uses credits, because AI voice generation costs real money; for a full package, one-time packs start at $14.90 for 50 credits, with no subscription.
