A hint of the BBC Radio Scotland RW package there, but indeed a bit bland by comparison – not the
fault of the musicians, just the writers/poducers(?) – it took FIVE of them !?! Quantity not quality.

Also, why are they using an old JAM RADIO ONE logo melody from the 70s/80s ???

PS – “Worldwide deal” – still to hear if any existing McCasso material for the BBC has been “syndicated”
to anyone, anywhere else yet ?

Hi

No just the short demo example on the Radio Today page
On the Mcasso jingles page the only client seems to be the BBC – no one else seems to have commissioned them for Radio Imaging yet.

Sorry Iain.. What I meant to say was does anyone know if there is anywhere that the full new package has been placed.
There is only One on the Mccasso Site

Thanks

“Mcasso……..no one else seems to have commissioned them for Radio Imaging yet”

Gosh! I wonder why not ? After all these years?
{…searches for emoticon representing sarcastic astonishment……….}

Seriously though, the “production model” of using BBC musicians/orchestra/facilities and so on HAS
been proven now to be an excellent one, if used constructively – the previous BBC Radio Wales (WB)
and current BBC Radio Scotland (RW) customs have definately (…definitely…) shown that.

The “problem” is…Mcasso themselves IMO – I feel that they just “don’t get it” – they sound cheap and
they don’t seem to understand things like melody, how to make a strong logo, or even get a “BIG SOUND”;
its all just weak & wimpy.
Sorry.

better for BBC Locals in the 1960s!…}
