Thanks for that Timbo olly92

[local_12]

Here is a Tees for you….I'll see if I can bag us a WM by the end of the week

Thanks for posting that, Great to hear one of the Cuts in Full!

Thinking on about what was required by BBC Worldwide for the BBC local radio imaging Mcasso went on to produce, I've now emailed the BBC's freedom of information department requesting any info in relation to commissioning documents (there was a recent one for BBC R2 & 6 which provided rights information & specified what cuts / themes were required) it would be interesting to see an original brief for the whole project to see how many themes were required for LR, how BBC Worldwide wanted to cater for individual stations, the concept behind their thinking and of course the assignment of rights which one of our fellow posters has commented on. In the R2 tender invitations where was no talk of financials but there was a lot of information stating BBC Worldwide would hold ALL rights to the package & therefore it would be assumed they might make money per play of R2's & 6 music's imaging. I'm hoping we can gain a lot of into by clapping eyes on the same kind of information from before Mcasso came along timbo

I promised something and I deliver….

I think this build is one of the better ones and does feel like it might be used on the 'larger' LR stations.

Second favourite is the one used by Kent.

Enjoy

comparing WM to Tees there are similarities there local_12

[simon_t123Member]

I thought there were similarities with Tees and it is possible it could be used for metropolitlian LR stations. The news build sounds quite serious so thats something in common with the current London package.

Norfolk have changed to Mcasso today.

About time, might drag the station up a bit. olly92

Really Enjoying all the samples of the different stations. Especially the clean cuts people have managed to get. I'm still waiting for a full copy of the package either clean or from any bbc local to be about for trade.

'oooo nice posted audio olly92

[simon_t123Member]

enjoy!

Great Selection There!

I really like this theme, it seems to be used on quite a few of the stations for the Hour Openers. I've heard it on Leeds, Lancs and Mersey.
I shall attach a clip of it, along with some of the bits i've managed to air-check just encase anyone hasn't heard how a different BBC Local to their own is using the cuts.

Great selection of cuts there!

WM having some trouble, with the presenters playing out the wrong ones!

[Vinnah]

Sounds like they've kept Duncan Newmarch on Shropshire, they should have done on 3CR too.

Did anyone else notice the change on voiceover a few months ago on 3CR? There was a different guy when they originally got Mcasso.

I've attached a few clips with this, the TravelMcasso and NewsMcasso were the voiceovers which were released in January and TravelCurrentMcasso and NewsCurrentMcasso are the new voiceovers which have been in place since June.

re: Vinnah's post am not so keen on the original male VO used on 3CR he sounds a bit "gravelly" whereas the newer male VO sounds typically Beeb local lols tom_h

I think the WM jingles have finally settled in. Although some presenters miss them out sometimes. Just wondering does anybody know is the travel jingle the same as the start of the news?

[local_12]

Yes, the travel jingle is the start of the news just slightly modified to give it a travel feel. I wonder why WM didn't opt for a separate travel jingle…

[tom_h]

Any chance you could post some audio examples please – of how Shropshire's jingles "clash"?

Sorry only just seen it. My laptop has been in repair.

Will find an example and upload later.

Sorry!

Right, here are a few examples. I just feel it could flow better like BBC WM's does. It just seems like a mishmash of cuts. There are some other variations as well.

I've attached some clips of the Music4 jingles from BBC Three Counties & BBC Radio Cambridgeshire from just before they switched to Mcasso. Nothing fancy, I just cut some of the jingles from when the stations used Music4 and put them into one file

BBC Radio Cambridgeshire no longer seem to do their own "On 95.7 & 96.0 FM" etc it's replaced with the generic "A passion for Cambridgeshire" which is common with a lot of voiceovers since Mcasso, though Tony Gillham now plays the pips instead of his "On 96 & 95.7 Megacycles VHF".

So who's left to switch to Mcasso? I can think of:

London
Manchester
Solent

Any more?
