      Lincolnshire the latest to change. Starting to look like there is going to be very little variation, but that is not unexpected with each station getting sung cuts.

        Lincolnshire’s ‘smart speaker’ voice seems to forget what to say?

        BBC Radio Cumbria have also made the switch, voiceover sounds excited?

        I know I keep banging on about voiceovers, but they are vital to a package sounding good, and unfortunately they are a poor choice in my opinion.
        The only control stations have over this package seems to be whether they use a tail or not. Pips seem to be axed completely.

        BBC Coventry and Warwickshire have not only renamed their station back to BBC CWR, but they’ve renamed the city of Coventry, calling it ‘Cov’. “The sound of Cov”.

            Yes, I’ve seen that thread. Someone else said that people who live in Coventry apparently already call it ‘Cov’, so it might not be so bad afterall to someone who lives in Coventry

                  Did people really think that the BBC dreamt up ‘Cov’ without some local knowledge ?

                    Just googled BBC Essex and the BBC Sounds page in the Google results is showing up as “BBC Radio Essex” (as is the URL), but the actual page is still titled “BBC Essex”.

                    Perhaps a clue that the station will be renamed BBC Radio Essex when it gets the new package?

                      Listening to BBC Radio London this morning was quite disheartening – Apart from the news soyunded very second rate in presentation – even music was just faded up when starting, but reminded me how truly awful the “old” imaging is.

                        I agree totally Michael…
                        I FaceBook Messaged Mark Carter (BBC Surrey Boss) a couple of weeks ago to enquire when they were going to bring in the “new” package and he couldn’t even be arsed to reply!

                            Let me add to that I also replied to a comment he made on something BUT still no reply…Obviously too far up his own arse!

                              Ummm….
                              Lets be frank Pete – the gentleman may possibly have a few things of much higher priority to attend to at this difficult time.

                              I know that my family and I DO, although a bit of “self-isolation” for us means that no doubt along with others
                              I’ll probably be compiling & posting a bit more audio than of late in order to get through being cooped-up.

                              Stay well, one and all.

                              And please all stay on this Forum (and no doubt a few others) to blether and help keep people going.

                                BBC Newcastle has adopted the new jingles today and has reinstated the word ‘Radio’ in its name, as did BBC Wiltshire two weeks ago.

                                However I think the existence of a commercial station already called Radio Essex precludes the BBC using that name at the moment. Note that the URL bbc.co.uk/radioessex gives a 404 not found error, but bbc.co.uk/radiosurrey, bbc.co.uk/radiosussex and bbc.co.uk/radiosomerset all redirect to the new (terrible) station homepages. Not sure if that’s always been the case or whether they offer a clue to upcoming name changes…

                                    That’s good to know Graham as the station is really sounding amateurish nowadays (can’t stand that woman with the gushing patronising voice…..Amanny Mo)

                                      It’s always been like that. If you type in http://www.bbc.co.uk/sussex, it takes you to the news page for that area. I also believe the sounds live page has also always been ‘Radio Essex’. Look at Hereford and Worcester, that’s called ‘Radio Hereford Worcester’ in the URL.

                                        The Facebook names have just been changed to BBC Radio Surrey and BBC Radio Sussex, so it looks like a change is imminent.

                                          From their Facebook: “Hi everyone, you might notice a little change in our logo. As of Monday 30 March, we are going back to our original name of BBC Radio Surrey. It kind of made sense really! Rest assured, everything else remains the same, and we’ll continue to be with you everyday, on your radio and on Facebook too”

                                          That can only mean one thing – NEW JINGLES tomorrow!

                                            BBC Radio Leeds have also updated, using their ‘West Yorkshire’ voiceover as well.
                                            Still waiting for any Eastern Counties stations to update.

                                            I’m sorry, but who on earth butchered the Sussex news ID? “The sound of Sussex-is” sounds awfully unnatural and amateurish.

                                              Oh my God..What have they done…I listened to BBC (Radio) Surrey most of the day today and what utter rubbish…News speech goes on too long, Weather is dis-jointed and the Traffic Jingle seems to end too abruptly…..
                                              As for the singing…Is that it?
                                              One out of tune woman almost chanting “B-B-C” into an out of tune “Radio Surrey” which sounds like it’s gone through Auto-Tune….
                                              Even the first Mcasso Package sounded better than this pile of poo!!

                                                I’d imagine for Essex they’d drop the more spoken sounding “B-B-C” and just use the sonic/logo and sing “BBC Essex” that seems to work in my jinglemad mind ;)

                                                No stations in the East carrying Reelworld as yet, why the delay ?! There’s a raft of stations with the package across the UK, some notable exceptions … Lancs where the brief emerged from still not on Reelworld, WM, London, despite the all night R5/locals show using elements of Reelworld for the TOH/news junctions …

                                                  Don’t forget that a lot of the output is currently from the presenter’s homes so it’s bound to be confused and disjointed….

                                                    And they are working to an emergency schedule as well – meaning a lot of the more interesting features have been dropped for Virusageddon coverage. Not just Sussex and Surery, but all the LRs. Unlucky for them to be having to launch a new jingle package when they can’t have much fun with it.

                                                      And just at the time they are doing more news and talk they have jingles that sing about the music you love !
