I was one of the 1st to congratulate Chris on what a great job he did with The TM Century “The Bee” Jingle package

What I can’t understand is this:

I have been listening to the station on line for the last 2 hours and only heard a single cut!

Between Records and out of breaks it the same old

Liners and Sweeper after Sweeper over and over again (Sorry To Chris if you was involved with them) but I would consider the imaging to be poorest I have heard in years 👿

With The Bee PD saying on the Demo the Jingles are F*****G Great!

You’ve Got Full Themes / Slogan Jingles and Shotgun Mixes

In the words of one of your Sweepers “Isn’t Time to be Different “

Why don’t you F******G Make use of The Jingles!
😡

I’ve noticed that, and for a package of that quality I think they should express it more than they currently do.

Over the last few weeks I have been listening on line to all the stations that have just got a new image package (today it was the turn of 97.3 the coast and WNIC they know how to use the jingles to best effect) as for the bee

Simon Brierley spends thousands on an excellent TM Package!
But would rather image the station with poor quality sweepers and liners that sound they cost about a fiver and were thrown together in five minutes

Why not spend some time listening to some US radio stations to see how imaging should be done, How about using some jingles between the records, what about using some of the beds that come with the package, do some research go out on the street and ask 100 people can they sing the Bee Logo

From what I have heard, he would be very disappointed with the results

Maybe the group (ok they are on their own for now but a group is part of it)dont like sung jingles and that sweeepers mix better with the music .

I must say I think the sung jingles are ok ,not my style of a Tm package but bettter than bespoke….But yes the voice overs sound sad, he is the voice of doom,that cant sell a station to lsteners….

Bring back the usa voice from the RSL days ….they worked well

My God…..is there No truly Independent Local Radio Stations left in this country?
Here’s a funny story..but don’t tell anyone…….
Reading had a great Radio Station start almost 3 years ago with great Jingles from Bespoke…..I even got one of their stickers on my van!
In the last 6 months or so it has deteriorated to such an extent that they now have awful liners, all the good presenters have left and they are almost bankrupt!
I’ve been told no-one wants to buy them and whats worst I can’t get the bleedin’ sticker off of my windscreen!

In defence (suprise suprise) the show you were listening to was a weekend party show with cheesy song after cheesy song and has stagers out of the ad breaks instead of jingles.

In every other show the policy is simply jingles out of breaks and sweepers/stagers inbetween songs. Listen at any other time and you’ll hear at least 3 jingles per hour, plus news / weather / TOH and if you listen to my late show you’ll hear me do a talk up at least once an hour on a ramp. During peak you’ve got travel and headlines so you can hear 8 or 9 an hour – which I’d say is making good use of a fantastic package.

You just heard a specialist show without many jingles and started a thread on the back of it…

The Point is if you are going to image a station then it should not matter if it’s a specialist show or not

Take Heat106.2 in London they have specialist shows “Time Tunnel” Club Classics” But they still use Jingles to give the station the Overall Sound

As previously posted why not make use of the beds that come with the package ?

Or why not use one of the shotgun mixes that come with the package instead of another sad Liner

As for the choice of the Voice Over Guy (Dr Death)

I am sure as you are involved in production yourself you would agree that he is hardly the best choice to image a station

Just to add I have just had a listern to Roy’s Show

Very Enjoyable and unlike some of the other shows good to hear some of the ramp jingle out of the news and a shotgun between a record instead of “Dr Death” Voice over

Good Job

I was listening to SOJO on Sunday morning and although it was automated, every other (at most) jingle was one of the Reelworld cuts.

It sounded so good on-air with the fast paced jingles…

Made me almost tempted to move to the states
