  1. Anyone heard the 'New Sound of BBC Radio 1' promo? Sounding extremely likely we'll hear the new package on 2nd April.

    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!

  2. It's probably part of their imaging updates; they're in the process of comissioning a new station-wide imaging package.

    Here's the Chart Show one aswell. No idea on who made it though!

    Holly has been the female voice since October 2008(!), while David or whatever the male voice is called has been on since June 2009.

  3. When Tina was reading the top story in a serious tone of voice this morning it just didn't sound right.

    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 package was created by David Lowe (creater of BBC News music), and this was reflected in the package. 2004 was a refresh by the Station Sound team. Everything from 2005 was created by Music4. The 2005 package was used until January 2007. The package that was on air a few days ago was a remix of the 2007 package, created in January 2009.

  4. Compared to previous Newsbeat packages, which had around about 40 cuts, this seems like a relatively small package:

    Also, with the 1Xtra versions, surely, that must make it difficult at weekends, if each station uses a seperate news bed? E.g. you may hear both the R1+1Xtra beds at the same time, or no bed at all. Or it may not be technically possible.
