      The sing is nowhere near as good. Are you sure they are from IQ Beats and not a 'cheaper' ripped off version?

            That package is from IQBeats, and we'll be featuring the cuts in The Jingle Network Podcast next month.

              If you can't wait till the jingle podcast, I've attached a mini-montage. They sound pretty good to me, shame Heart in London gave up using them.

                Great, can't wait. But let's face it. The vocal arrangement is very, very poor. Bright is (was) a great station. But the jingles are obviously copying Heart (why copy when you are number one).

                And they fall short.

                WAY short.

                Bright had a great indy identity and it's buggered it up by trying to be Heart. 1) you're not Heart 2) the jingles woud be better as Bright, not a cheap imitation of Heart.

                  Oh, that's sad to hear. But everybody loves the heart 106 package from IQ. We know Michael Berlin so much, and he wouldnt want his jingles to sound like that. Anyhow, their jingles are fair.

                    Vocal-wise I think they're fine.

                    But, using a package that listeners will still remember from Heart, I can't help but think it'll confuse the thousands of listeners who do the daily Brighton to London commute and pass through both stations' TSAs.

                        This I am sorry to say is Typical of the UK Radio Industry – Every Station is trying to copy each other
                        several stations that use IQ Beats or Reelword or even JonesTM have now opted for the solist instead of a group sing and for 90% of the cuts the solist is Emily McIntosh who in London for example is heard on

                        London's HEART a few of the LBC cuts and of course KISS , and while she has a great voice very strange to hear the same solist on 3 stations all in the same area

                        Its not just jingles eveystation has the same competition running take for example LBC and Talksport
                        both have been running the HowLow competion for well over a year a long with dozens of stations in the UK

                        Its just typical of the Lazy programming / and at GBP1.50 a call quick revenue earner , but for the listner very boring

                          yes i agree it's no different from the time when all stations are airing JAM jingles, where all jingles sound exactly alike except for the names.

                            I take your point (Martin) about competitions being replicated across different networks/stations, but they're often sold by national airtime sales houses as sponsorship campaigns across multiple platforms and stations.

                            However, local S&P departments do continue to sell their own competitions and promotions. For example, I recently produced audio for Nick Ferrari's breakfast show on LBC – one for Shetland Islands tourist board where listeners had to identify songs played in the style of a Shetland fiddler, and one for St Lucia tourist board where the songs were played by a steel drummer in a calypso style.

                            Really enjoyed working on these – made a refreshing change to playing intros or backwards clips – nice to actually produce something from scratch using real instruments!

                            I even re-made IQ Beats' “Nick Ferrari at Breakfast” cut in fiddle and calypso styles – that pleased the anorak in me!
