Listen out for some changes in music imaging for one of the BBC’s national stations over the next few days

[DAS]

Everywhere you go, you’re a little tease…!

[DevawebMember]

Not wishing to also tease…

I’ve heard it, and it takes a bit of getting used to! Nice that they’ve kept the musical logo the same – I think it’ll be a grower.

[Jonnyh]

I too have had a preview of them. They are ABSOLUTELY AWFUL!

They manage to demonstrate in each cut, the disgraceful state of radio station jingles used today.

Whoever produced this package should be thoroughly embarassed. It certainly was not produced from a musician!

[DAS]

Is there anybody who hasn’t heard them then? Apart from me of course…!

I’m slightly baffled here then. National station would suggest either Radio 1 or Radio 2. As Radio 1 don’t really have their musical logo any more, I would guess at Radio 2 – but Mark Radcliffe’s only just got his singovers. Unless it’s 6 Music…

Yeah doesn’t it really p**s you off..when people tease you,but don’t tell you the full story!
If its Radio 6 then no worries..who listens to it anyway?!?!
BUT Radio 2…now that is a different story!

[Jonnyh]

I’ll give you a clue, it’s a station based somewhere between Radio 2 and Radio 6 music. Don’t get excited though – it’ll be a massive disapointment.

[DAS]

Would this station between Radio 2 and 6 Music provide Live News, Live Sport?

[NickySMemberAuthor]

Have to say I agree with Chris I think they are a grower rather than an instant oh they’re great. They took a few listens for me to think they’re not that bad.

[JingleMadMember]

Are they by Music 4?

[UKJinglesMember]

Here you go DAS…No one else seems to want to tell you…
Before I get sent to the Tower for Treason…
The new sound of Radio 5…really naff but it does make BBC Local Radio identification sound much better!!! 😆

Life’s Too Short to Hoard Jingles

[DAS]

You’re a gentleman, Pete.

Certainly different isn’t it? Starts off like a Harry Nilsson track and ends, well, like a Harry Nilsson track.

They’re lovely and fluttery! Shame about the voiceovers; they could have been complemented with stronger and more impressive vocals.

[OnyxPaulMember]

they could have been complemented with stronger and more impressive vocals.

In my humble opinion they could have been complemented by having been composed and performed by people who had a clue about jingles and radio imaging. 💡 As for them being “growers”: I suggest the BBC go out and buy a job lot of Fisons, take these and all thier recent Radio 2 stuff, plant them in the shit heap and see if that makes them grow!

[OnyxPaulMember]

FYO I did not write “sausages” the web site did. I wrote sh1t.!

[frankieboy]

Am I the only one on here who actually thinks they are quite good? listening to the tail end of ‘Sport on Five’ last night, everything seemed very seamless, but maybe I’m looking at things differently from everyone else.

[DAS]

To be honest I’m quite liking them too. But then again I also preferred the previous package to the first one – and to say that to some jingle people is regarded as sacrilege!

[DavidHemsley]

They certainly sound better on air than they do on a tape.

[DevawebMember]

I’m starting to really enjoy them on air… they fit very nicely.

You’re just sucking up to your new employer 😆
