newsbeat

Doubt it's a legit Radio 1 package - partly as anyone can buy it (commissioned packages are owned by the BBC and are never available for resale) and also the fact it's £9.99!! Spelling is terrible on that site too.

At long last! http://www.music4.com/ Very different to the previous site - in terms of R1 content they've put up the Official Chart main theme, aswell as a few Moyles bits and pieces.

The last update from Pure Tonic Media was January 2011. Nothing more after that. Basically they created updates in August/Sep/Oct/Nov/Dec 2010 and January 2011, then it all suddenly stopped....

New female voice; sounds very good on the Newsbeat imaging. Will give some other shows a listen later on today.

Yeah, heard that on Moyles' show this morning. It sounds like a very upbeat package, but I can't really say much as I've only heard a few seconds of it when I was half-asleep!

He's doing really well, it's worth a listen. Very impressed.

It's probably part of their imaging updates; they're in the process of comissioning a new station-wide imaging package. http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/commissioning/site/BBC_Radio1_Imaging_2011.pdf Here's the Chart Show one aswell. No idea on who made it though! http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/commissioning/site/Radio1_Chart_Show_Pitch_2012.pdf Holly has been the female voice since October 2008(!), while David or whatever the male voice is called has been on since June 2009.

I have no idea either! A new package of beds was introduced around April/May ish - along with a new package of idents and talk ramps for weekends, e.g 'Weekends on BBC Ra di oh h h h ONE'. These are created with some Pure Tonic imaging

That's a very good point! I can always remember having a news reader aswell as a sports reader.

The current ones have been on air since January 2010

I've liked them from the minute I heard them!

Newsbeat 2011 - End Logo.mp3Here's the sonic logo from the package.

Although I can't help feeling that aswell! The news headlines and news main bed are pretty much the same (if not exactly the same?) I couldn't really give an opinion on sports bed, as it was played far too quietly. I like the weather, aswell as the mid-news 'BBC Radio 1,... Newsbeat' stab. That part works better than before. The news out though, is too abrupt. They should have just added more reverb. I haven't listened to one of the 12.45/5.45 bulletins yet, but I aim to do so soon. Overall, I'm really impressed! The R1 Newsbeat 4-note sonic logo has been used since January 2005. The 2003 pack
