Hi guys,

On the BBC Commissioning site, there is a chance to bid to produce new Newsbeat imaging. It will start airing in September.

I'm wondering what it will sound like, in my opinion, Newsbeat's imaging has always been good.

Here's the links to the pages and .pdf files

Site: http://www.bbc.co.uk/commissioning/radio/network/radio1.shtml

Imaging brief: http://www.bbc.co.uk/commissioning/radio/network/docs/r1_1x_news_ident_2010.pdf

What do you lot think? Does the Newsbeat imaging really need changing? What will it sound like?

Discuss below...

Latest additions:

- Full Imaging Beds package (2009-2010)

- 2009 re-voice by Music4 (DRY+WET IDs, chart numbers 1-40)

- BBC Top Gear - Backing beds used in programs

Normally the Newsbeat imaging changes every two years, I believe this one has only lasted a year but I could be wrong. I think there'll be a station wide refresh in September so makes sense.

i remember when newsbeat had no music bed, just a jingle. they only bought it all in around 12 years ago. i think they make it so it matches the whole imaging of the station in general, i think the theme that they run now is probably the best they've had for 8 or 9 years.

on the grid.

The current package can trace it's roots back to Jan 2007. Throughout 07+08 it was used with voice updates when they got a new voiceover.

It was remixed into the theme you hear on-air now in Dec'2008. It's been in use on-air since Jan '09.

Ah yes, I put my sister's tape recordings somewhere of Zoe Ball and Mark Goodier's Radio 1 programmes in 1997 and all they had was a voice-over saying "97-99 FM, Radio 1...Newsbeat". Plus the news readings sounded so formal - ie: what we have on Radio 2 today... :D

Lather, rinse, repeat.

Do you have access to them or able to upload them somewhere? They'd be good to listen to

I've only been listening to Radio 1 for about a year, so I wouldn't know :(

Yeah, definitely. Please do that!

The last time I played it was a few years back and the quality was so poor, I'm guessing by now some bits have disintegrated. Add to that my sister moved out a couple of months ago so I doubt she'll know where she had put it.

Luckily infact I kept a copy posted on a forum of the BBC Radio 1 Road Show (The Big Weekend of the day, or so I'm told...) in 1997. Includes Newbeat updates and I would be happy to PM a link for anyone intrested.

Ooh, yes please. Thanks a lot.

This OK? It's from Newsbeat 1996

Newsbeat 1995 had a News In, News Bed, sports Bed, Weather, and 2 news out's.

Far as I know, Newsbeat 1996 only had this news in voiceover and a mini tail bed after the voice. I can edit one from newsbeat 1997.

Newsbeat 1998 onwards had full packages, eg: news ins, instrumentals, news beds, sport beds, weather, news out etc, and in around 2001 they introduced alternate mixes.

There will be, almost certainly. In case you haven't heard, some new ID sweepers have gone live. They use a group of voiceovers and emphasize on saying 'BBC Ra-di-o-1'. Anyway, going off-topic now!

Is that newsbeat 1996 jingle OK with you guys?

Heard them, hence my reasoning for thinking there'll be a refresh in September!

Suppose so. Listening to some beds, some of them aren't ageing very well

i'm so sorry that you missed out on some of radio 1's greatest years.

i have a two chris moyles shows from 1997 on my harddrive, when he was on early breakfast. the news is read on there with no background music. come the ones i have from 1998, there was.

on the grid.

I love listening to the old Radio 1 stuff; my dad used to tape Dave Pearce shows on Friday nights. I would've loved to listen to John Peel back in the day, but at the moment Zane Lowe and Huw Stephens are my two favourite 'music DJs'.

I think Greg is best at the moment, anyway, we're going off-topic again.

I'm interested in what the new imaging will sound like!

It says the Newsbeat jingles will be launched in September. Surely, unless these are male-voiced only, or dry, recording them with the current Female vocalist, would be a waste of money, if a new female voice is launched in October?

Treu, but they would have to pay to sign-up a voiceover, regardless of where it's recorded

    • Tara Kumar is in for Alyx on Sunday 13th July.
    • Conor Knight & Lauren Layfield are in for Matt & Mollie on Monday 14th July.  Matt is solo on Tuesday 15th July.  Jerry is in for Mollie between Wednesday 16th & Thursday 24th July.  Maia Beth is covering Future Pop on Wednesday 16th & Wednesday 23rd July. On Sunday 27th July the Chillest Show is reduced to an hour, and 20.00-21.00 is a BBC Proms special with JADE. On Thursday 31st July 18.00-20.00 in place of Jack's show it's the Dance Party Warm-Up with Danny Howard (ahead of the Ibiza weekend).
    • Dean McCullough in for Greg w/c 4th August. James Cusack on EB.
    • Well looks like Mollie is off all month now so presumably a personal matter. 
    • Intrigued why Matt & Mollie aren't presenting breakfast on Monday, with James in for them instead (which has happened before).. or even James given a chance to present the breakfast show?
    • Sam & Danni seem to be down for Breakfast on Monday. James Cusack on Going Home. That’s another new name in the list of “people who have hosted Going Home in 2025”.
    • Wednesday, surely? But this is another mess, as this weeks Summer press release said it’ll be Sam & Danni no Jamie from the 28th - so it’s actually a whole week earlier!
    • Jamie Laing’s last show before his summer break will be on Wednesday 16th July.
    • I worked out once Scott spent 3 months of a year off his own slot in the Moyles days and more like 4 in Grimmys days, six weeks of his own holiday and projects, six covering Grimmy plus some ad hoc days 
    • Back on topic, I think there's quite a few of the current Radio 1 presenters who would be able to adapt to Radio 2's style in the future. It's more of question of how many of them will actually end up there. With much of R2's line up changed over the past couple of years, it's quite possible we won't see much movement there, and R2 management might even decide to look elsewhere to bring in new presenters in future.
    • With OJ covering on bank holidays. She is the best person for the job however... they're going to end up with a situation like Scott covering R1 breakfast back in the day, where she spends quite a bit of time off her own slot covering Breakfast, plus her own holiday and other commitments. She's been filming for something recently which has meant she's been off several days a week since May. She was off last week, on breakfast this week, OJ is on Mon/Tues next week, then She's off the following two weeks.
    • Looking back at this I would say now that Sara is the main cover - I think she has been reestablished as it now 
    • Purley on the R1 Dance station.. Someone on DS said don't expect to see any changes to the schedule on the new stations however if they are taking on Capital Dance with this, which they clearly are, which has live presenters 7am - 10pm except for the 11am mix then they'll surely have to have a proper scheduled set of shows. At the moment Arielle is the only "live" per say show and only "live" a few days a week with earlier shows being repeated Thursday Friday and Saturday. Connor and Charlie are clearly pre records but was this only for the time it was online only and they have already got a schedule ready to go on day 1? also of note is that Charlie is taking over a podcast as well as starting a new project with podcasting which makes me wonder if she is about to step back from Dance Anthems all together to concentrate on those and Connor takes over? So you could have Arielle doing 9-12 weekdays live then someone else 12-3 and Connor live 3-6 on R1D and doing Dance Anthems on a Saturday. 
    • As none of the Going Home Team aren't currently on the air, that's a bit if an issue. Considering most of the Dance DJs will be out there, I'm surprised none of them are being utilised to host the 1-4 slot that weekend.
    • Going Home presenters have done the last few years ?
