Also Bristol, Lincolnshire, Nottingham, Sheffield and Somerset. BBC Tees aren't using it yet.

BBC Radio Cambridgeshire still not yet taking it (My apologies if I've made it sound a bit rude).

Aghh – Proper Jingles, well done to all concerned, while the majority of BBC Local is being boring-nised imagining

BBC Kent is using the same travel suite as BBC Essex, hmmm … And the same news build as BBC York, which … is a pity really, Kent did'nt opt for something a bit unique as per Leeds. I guess as others have said it comes down to editors following the suggestion of BBC English Regions to take Mcasso cuts but not really having much time from a busy news diary to sit and listen to the demo's or indeed what your neighbouring BBC local station is using already !!!

[BBC Sx]

They've arrived at BBC Sussex this morning, so I presume they are on BBC Surrey at Guildford as well. So that's all of BBC SouthEast using them now!

They are indeed. Absolutely stunned that they've changed the jingles after such a short time, especially when other BBC Local Radio stations that are still using much older jingle packages have yet to change. They sound a real step back from the old jingles, only consolation is they're slightly better than Radio Kent's versions.

[simonp4]

Have been listening around to some of these… I just can't decide which is worse – the actual dull music tracks (although some of the newer ones are getting better), the repetitiveness of the “BBC” logo when they are in use or the tendency to use really syrupy voice overs? Or maybe is just a combination of all of these?

I'm not against the idea of a network wide package – but surely if you were going to do that, you'd want it to be brilliant?

[mbMember]

Lets be honest the company they chose weren't up to the job and the person doing the brief and approving this stuff was out of thier depth.

[BBC Sx]

I have to say I feel they are a step backwards here in Sussex. By the way, does anyone have any clean copies of these new jingles? I have the one minute BBC Sussex news build in anyone is interested.

[simon_t123Member]

They're a step backwards BBC Sx, so no-one's collecting them I can't understand the need to dump short lived packages for the Mcasso sound, it could be seen as a further waste of licence fee payers money !!!

When Mcasso say on their website they have won the pitch to image ALL the BBC Local Radio stations, they seem to imply then BBC London also ? Can't see that happening any time soon … But then … Who can really ever tell ?!

[BBC Sx]

Well I can quite understand why people aren't! But if anyone reading this does have any clean jingles could they message me? Thanks all!

[GB]

I like the new Mcasso jingles on BBC Sussex. They sound modern and contemporary. The old ones were good, but the new ones simply sound more tidy and up to date.

It's nice that BBC Sussex is finally up to speed with the other BBC Locals. They've always been a bit behind (mainly when they were BBC SCR) in the past.

[mbMember]

I can't see BBC London taking them anytime soon nor Manchester. They'd have to be dragged kicking and screaming.

[simon_t123Member]

Does BBC London come under the umberella of BBC Local Radio ? I've often wondered, always seems to do it's own thing …

[GB]

BBC Jersey now have the jingles as well.

[simon_t123Member]

Something interesting dubbed from an area of the mcasso website I'd never come across before … note at the start they demonstrate the simple development of the “B B C” musical logo which on this montage actually ends with some 'not very bad at all' vocals ! Perhaps the package was designed with instrumental or sung prospects in mind ? …

A journey to Derby today had me hear mcasso on just Essex and Nottingham, there's huge swathes of the country un-mcasso'd (if ever there was such a phrase) many beeb locals still hanging on to in some cases packages which are becoming quite old, anyway … the link here is to the audio I've dubbed off & edited into an mp3, enjoy.

Hi Everyone, does anyone have the 2010 Mcasso Jingle for BBC Newcastle?? I have looked everywhere and can't seem to find it, I think the BBC Leeds one is the same but I am not sure. Can anyone help me, it would be much appriciated

[GB]

Looks like BBC Guernsey will be the next station to take up the Mcasso jingles.

[wiltshirebloke]

BBC Wiltshire went live with the package as from yesterday.

[fredgreek]

So in the West/South West BBC regions BBC Radio Gloucestershire (my local station) is now the only non-Mcasso station!

[pheel]

I had a little listen to Wiltshire's jingles, and I particularly like the one at the end of the travel (would be great to hear from anyone who might have a clean copy!). Other than that the Wiltshire lot is just the same as everywhere else that has been Mcasso'd (to use ST's phrase!). The only other one I like is at the end of BBC Leeds' travel news, (again would love a clean copy!)

[cubwolfMember]

We now have them in Leicester.Not impressed

[simon_t123Member]

not sure there's any variation in these left now for any stations still to take the packages … be interesting to know how pressured from above stations are to use the Mcasso imaging, I wonder that as more flagship beeb locals seem to go their own way, as do some others. If it's a case of being forced then it's understandable that stations will carry Mcasso, but if it's a local 'choice' then some of the stuff being replaced by Mcasso imaging are sadly lost !!!

[GB]

BBC Radio Oxford have now taken the contemporary Mcasso local BBC package.
