It sounds terrible. Seems they're going down the route of "This is Capital from Global", "From Global's newsroom" etc. Don't see the need for the BBC to do it, especially now that their charter has been renewed so there's no real need for a marketing push with the public.

I'd agree with you there - power intros tend to make the playlist sound more repetitive, even if they're not. I think the first song at the TOH and BOH would suffice, then do manual segues into the se

Nerd alert.  Dev had a discussion this morning about his new jingles, and also mentioned why he didn't use the old ones. 24 mins into this morning's show.

Have you noticed for a number of songs you'll hear a highly-produced intro,  and a few days later it gets dropped for a boring version? Ellie Goulding's new song for example - the original had an auto

Some sound problems on Cel's show today. The imaging was playing in terrible quality.

The Adele Roberts version of the Best New Pop intro also played out in error.

This happens on a regulr basis since they moved to the 8th floor! The studios don't work the same as they did in Yalding (mainly because these use Studer desks and Yaldings were DHD). Basically if they've got the cartwall faded up on the bank of faders next to the CDJs and they fade it up on the main desk as well it makes it sound weird like that because it's the same audio being put into the mix, but because it's all digital there is a very slight delay between channels! 

When was this jingle slip up?

Very interesting, cheers for that info.

Around 4:50pm I think.

I wish they'd just get on with it and change everything properly. I like the old 4 voiceovers but having a mish-mash between them and the new ones just sounds messy. Not a fan of the 1Xtra-sounding male tbh- really liking Mike Wooller, the original New Music Friday female VO and the other female VO (the one on the Little Mix-Touch power intro). They're all sounding great. 

I do miss Scott's personal beds- the one that went "Scott Mills-1" with Merv and then a dancey bed was great and the other one that said "This is Scott Mills, BBC Radio 1" and then a heavier, grimier(?) bed was great too. Gonna miss them in the 1:15 link.

I think the KDA-Turn the Music Louder power intro (was on Scott's show at 3:36 today) is my favourite- sounds SO good.

Although the trouble is that Greg James is still using the old voiceovers on his shows, surely this week is the time he will change and he had a promo for Dev Patel with the new voiceovers.

Yes! And it's even more annoying seems as he is a fellow radio 1"nerd" (so to speak)! My main issue is the chart... please revoice the chart next!!!

 I know exactly what you mean, sounds like we're on the same wavelength. A mish-mash between old and new is not professional. When the NMF intros with Mike Wooller launched last April, I wasn't a fan of these, but admittedly they have grown on me. These are proper power intros, whereas the rest by Imgur aren't really powerful in the slightest. At first I wasn't sure if bringing Mike back was a wise move, any jingle geek will easily remember he was on the old ones up until September 2014. They sounded great, but these ones with him sound better.

Scott's old beds were great, probably some of the best to come out of the 2014 lot. And I love that KDA-Turn the Music Louder power intro.

Good, now all they need to do is change the TOTD ID's and Newsbeat voiceovers.

TOTD did change briefly but has reverted back to the old one. I'm sure it'll eventually be replaced. The Newsbeat voiceovers dont need changing yet, especially if the main jingle stays the same, otherwise it'll all sound out of place.

I'm guessing the Pure Jingles package will be dead by next week giving the fact that they nearly have completed the roll out after 100 years of easing the new set. 

The Pure Jingles package will never be completely dead, that is evident at 2:55 in the montage - have a listen.

The new Clafa Amfo intro sounds like Dev in it!

Yeah all the weekday shows now have presenter IDents, not sure about weekends yet though.

If the station imaging sounded confusing before, it sounds more confusing now.

This has seriously got to stop. So unprofessional.

I too am confused by what you mean here? It's been brought into line now, old imaging is (98%) out and the new imaging is 98% in I would say! I'm personally loving this new imaging, it blows the last 2 years out of the water (although Pure did produce some awesome TOHs during those 2 years). Wisebuddah's done a great job here and they should be proud!

What are you on about? The new imaging sounds slick, modern and professional, don't know what there is to complain about

The only intros that sound good are the ones with Mike Wooller. The rest of the imaging isn't a clear, simple theme. We have mixes thrown about of all sorts that make it sound like a different station between most songs. The length of time it took to introduce these, and the "creeping in" is just highly unprofessional for a national station, nearly a year!  The radio industry might want to go this way with power intros, but they really don't suit the station. They've tried too hard and ballsed it up. The breakfast show idents have been ruined too.

      Radio 1 Schedule Changes

      By Dan18F1 · Posted

      The Summer on Radio 1 thing makes me wonder whether they might be doing something similar to last year again where they have a temporary schedule over the summer before introducing changes in September - maybe the new host won’t start until after the summer?

      Radio 1's Big Weekend 2024

      There was talk on my Big Weekend group from the council about them waiting for Ticketmaster to send an email out. They said they've been waiting a week. Maybe they're waiting for train strike confirmation first.

      It’s on Saturday and Friday that week too. I guess this would make sense, as it gives them roughly 6 weeks off weekends until they start the new show?

      Yeah he's on more than usual including this Sunday and then 3 more shows in May according to the above. Makes me think it's James for the weekend shows also

      For some reason there is 'Summer on Radio 1' listed on Sunday 2nd June, could this be replacing M&M until July?

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      By coffeeandgin · Posted

      Yep am very much Capital Breakfast now. Jordan, Chris and Sian are a great trio and it's got that feel of the old shows Jordan and Chris used to do on Radio 1. It doesn't take itself too seriously but is packed full of content and slick. With Greg he's great but 6 years in you've probably heard it all before plus frankly I can sit through the Capital Playlist a lot more easily than the Radio 1 playlist (where some of the inclusions and omissions can be quite baffling at times). Plus after things like the Oscars or Met Gala or if there's a particularly big TV show or film or popstar then Greg won't half wang on about it at times. I guess it's partly to be expected with it being a Breakfast show on a young station but it can feel very London bubble and get tired.

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      By Rob86 · Posted

      I honestly never thought in a million years I’d move from Radio 1 to be a regular Capital breakfast show listener. But it’s got pretty much everything I want - 3 really genuine, entertaining mates having a laugh, playing silly games and it all sounds great. I became a big fan of Chris from his days with Scott, became a Jordan fan on Going Home, and Sian Welby is newer to me but is loads of fun too.  It’s great and I’ve shocked myself by transferring my listening at breakfast. For me Greg’s show now feels very tired and it’s time for something new. But with Jordan gone that’s unlikely to happen anytime soon. Greg’s had a great run and I’m a fan - but there’s no new ideas now. I still listen to Radio 1 at other times - but this show feels like very serious competition for Greg.

      The eighth floor

      By Lily Georgia · Posted

      They have built four new studios to increase capacity, alongside the existing six.  Bearing in mind that some of the output of R1, 1X, R2 & 6M comes from elsewhere, and Asian Network is gradually moving all output to Birmingham, this should be enough!

      How do they manage to cater for 6Music and Radio 2 on that floor? Did they adapt it?

      By Bluestraw · Posted

      I think we've all figured out now how much you like it @AndyK77 😂 Personally while I think it's by far the best show on the Capital schedule and better than its predecessor, it still has the shortened songs and other commercial-radio aspects that remind me why I'm a Radio 1 fan. No matter how well this has worked out for Jordan, and all credit to him for landing the job, I can't help but feel that a Jordan and Katie show on R1 breakfast would have been so much better!

      A few weeks in and I am actually loving the show and Jordan is a nice mix of his old chaotic self and dare I say it a slick jock.

      Rylan and Scott

      By xxladybarefootxx · Posted

      I really like Rylan, and as much of a fun idea it would be to have Scott and Rylan together, I think Rylan is too much of a main character.  Scott needs a side-kick rather than a full on co-host I think. That’s why he and Chris worked so well, Scott steered the show, and Chris was the perfect person to have alongside him.    I don’t religiously listen to Rylan’s show, but when I do catch it, it’s perfect weekend energy. He has a very warm presenting style too, but something makes me think he and Scott together every day would be a bit too much.
