I wonder why the audio quality is so miserable? The jingles sound out of phase, or like someone tried to remove some of the vocals electronically. They certainly sounded better when they left JAM. Sadly, this is frequently the case when random people post our stuff on YouTube.

This is edited to make it sound like they’re using the full thing, but they are actually using it.

Here’s another video. No edits.

Plus some included TM Century jingles.

That 2nd YouTube compilation is hard work to listen to.
Not only is the volume is all over the place, that nationwide shout is very repetitive.

The audio is definitely rough, but the jingles themselves sound great!

Does anyone feel that the ‘Nationwide’ shout at the end of every RN jingle they played reminds us of those of the Radio 1 Vintage JAM did a few years back?
I do. I felt like MBC was just trying to chuck that in to make sure that ‘we’re a national radio network serving smaller areas NATIONWIDE’ every time they play those. Absolutely a mid move there, tbh.

My only solution to that is just to play the jingles as it is, MBC. You can play the ‘Nationwide’ shout some other time, not ALL the time.

I do have to agree that the usage of the “Nationwide” shout is a bit much. Though to be fair, having all of these jingles together in quick succession might make it seem more repetitive than it would be if you were actually listening to the station.

The recent JAM package only used a shout of “Nationwide” once. But apparently the previous TM cuts didn’t include that word so they stuck a shout on the end of every cut as a way to get it in there. JAM thought it was better to find a way to adapt the jingles so they were all sung, so that’s what we did.
