This is an article about a U.S. jingle-production company. For additional meanings, see PAMS (disambiguation)
PAMS of Dallas (Production, Advertising and Merchandising Services) was the most famous jingle production company in American broadcasting. The company was founded by Bill Meeks in 1951, and produced identification packages for radio stations around the world, as well as some commercial music.

It suspended operation in 1978, and in 1990 was revived by another company, JAM Creative Productions, which produces new versions of the classic PAMS jingle packages but technically is still a separate company from JAM. JAM founder Jonathan Wolfert was employed by PAMS before he and wife Mary Wolfert started their own company in 1974. Many of PAMS jingle packages were used exclusively in the 1960s and early 1970s by Top 40 stations worldwide. WABC (AM) in New York City and BBC Radio 1 in the UK were two of PAMS biggest clients.
