      As a bit of fun, search for the word “jingles” in this search-engine… :)

        Aye then !….and if they had just included some audio samples !

        Actually, has anyone got the Radio 2 frequency change stuff
        from circa 1978 (“9-0-9 and 3-3-0” and all that ?), as mentioned
        on one of the entries :?:

          I remember a certain Mr Schiller bragging about it at JD-3 the little tease!

            This may be a Stupid Question……
            But whats the point of it?
            Are you meant to be able to access audio archives :?
            Or is it only available to Employees of the BBC ?

              The latter may seem like a plausibe reason but I find this database dreadfully addictive!

                Doesn’t seem to want to open for me – maybe a server thing but certainly at the BBC you can search all of the archive on the intranet to see what’s there and certainly you get audio samples and sometimes all the audio to listen to at your desktop (not top quality before you ask) and then you can order the material you actually want.

                  I got the front page once, but then it went offline around 10.30pm, just as I started to search!!!!

                    (all I’ve got is a damaged old off-air reel-to-reel thing I made

                          Fancy some Church chorale jingle work ? 😈

                          This is how the BBC sang from the same hymn-sheet in 1978 about their frequency changes…

                            How very appropriate for Sunday, Mr B. I listened to the first few seconds and was delighted to switch it off! There are some jingles we should all delete from our collections!

                              Well I liked hearing the King’s Singers – and if you play it to the end it pays off with a little tongue-in-cheek humour.

                              I wouldn’t call it a jingle in the true sense though – more of a sung promo.

                              Thank you Mr B for sharing it with us.

                                Would I be right in my garbled old memory saying that the Kings’
                                Singers piece was officially entitled “Some Enchanted Wavelength” :?:

                                Nice to hear this one again after such along time though !
