haha, yes the flapjack story was an Essex sourced story … a child at a school injured with a triangular flapjack !!! they could make them circular
anyway, good audio there that shows something about the jingles that’s annoying me … most travel outs have the Mcasso logo straight into the presenter ID / bed which starts with … the Mcasso logo, there’s a lot of clashing there between those 3 notes as each ID may have a different tempo / texture … we get a kind of 3 note mashup & it ain’t good !!! also they use the ‘Essex’ MVO saying a plain “BBC Essex” so much now to top & tail promo’s etc that even those words are clashing at times, a little more thought into the flow of things would be good … as for the id’s I know I’ve been bashing Essex for a while now for their stale id’s but the old ones were actually better !!! these new ones are just a bit too … orchestral for my liking, they sound more ‘real’ than the earlier ones yes but give the station an ait that it’s punching above it’s weight, the tone has brcame more serious … but hey ho this is just me waffling & my taste !!!
Yeah I noticed that with the drivetime V/O that’s all the show needs for an intro as there’s always travel directly after the news at drivetime … in the clip there the bed used is not so clashy but yesterday it was the “do-do-dooo” of the travel straight into a much slower “do-do-dooo” of a different bed, too much do-do-dooo’ing lols

Ha! I was actually going to send a copy of the full version of that to young Linden this weekend!

And … it could all change @ some stage !!! the beeb locals went all twinkly circa the year 2000 with the last network-wide branding push … then locals branched off with a variety of sung ID’s from a variety of providers
Some of the new C&W ID’s are re-versions of those used by the Mark Forrest evening show, as now also used on BBC Essex, and some of those in use on C&W I’ve not heard before … whilst listening to Mark Forrest you can hear they’ve put into use alt/stripped mixes of that show’s theme for various text & phone in prompts, and listening to the C&W cuts above I wonder if Mcasso or whoever makes these now (the beeb might have these under hand in house now – a BBC affiliated orchestra was mentioned to me a while back) are providing more ‘layer’ based workparts so producers can strip say the brass overdubs or some of the beat back to make alternative, unique production ?
It can be dull, or at least it was when it started to all come to air several years ago but it’s improving all the while in my opinion, some stations sound pretty slick with their production, Radio Kent springs to mind … BBC Essex have made good use of travel tags to promote the current show “keeping you moving thu the rush – Ian Puckey” etc and so it’s always a hunt to see who’s doing what, I appreciate Len’s view here it’s not the sung jingles we majority are in love with in use, but it’s a big network with a lot of imaging, personally I like the conformity of a brand, the beeb have kept varying degrees of localness alive in the imaging, the local voiceover is one example, the individual station Mcasso logo’s are another … In that respect it is interested and as I started by saying here it could all change @ some stage

There is a difference this time as all stations have been forced to take this package.
with any luck that was in times of much lean-ness ! and as time goes by things might change, who knows
they’re doing ok tho’ at the moment as they are … I don’t mind the locals sound but I always listen for the next thing !local_12
