When I was in broadcasting with CHUM in Toronto, we had jingles made by the 
pre-eminent jingle mill "PAMS" of Dallas Texas.

Their use of the word "bed" referred to a piece of recorded music missing key 
elements, like the melody, which could be overdubbed with a variety of melodies 
to match a number of station's "sing" requirements in different markets.

Typically, WABC New York's over dubbed signature "Seventy-seven... W A B C" was 
loosely based on "I'll take Manhattan" which I believe they were ultimate sued for!
