New Newsbeat Imaging...


newsbeat

Recommended Posts

it's a bidding process, so companies like Wise Buddah and Music 4 will send in their demos to hope to be broadcast. i spotted on the live camera a while ago that music 4 made the newsbeat imaging for this year. its a bit disappointing that they aren't putting much on their website, though.

It is similar in sound to the BBC News package, as it was composed by the same person - David Lowe.

It is custom-made from 1 'theme' which is then incorporated into ll the cuts from the package.

@awinfield999 - I've tried e-mailing Music4 loads of times, never got a response

I'm thinking of sending them a hand written letter. Maybe they'll respond? I'll ask them for some 'demo cd's' with various Newsbeat bits on it.

What would be cool for geeks like us is if they put the top three entires for example open to vote for.

Wish they would do that. Do you want me to drill down into why they wouldn't or not?

They don't pay companies for demo material.

All rights remain with the composer, so the BBC doesn't own a thing in the demo, so if they put it online, it would probably be breaking the law

All the Music 4 stuff is copyrighted but it's not as if anyone on a pirate station will want jingles that talk about Radio 1 on them - they need to lighten up

Couldn't agree more.

Same with Wise Buddah, i'm trying to ask them why they don't have the Big Weekend Themes on their website.

As for e-mailing them, well I'd be prepared to bet that you'd never get a response...

I guess so, in a way its nearly like real music, or any other collector. They're not going to give anything away for free just because they're enthusiastic.

Never mind, but it would be nice if they at least updated their websites.

Exactly - PRS/MCPS licensing is really expensive to get, but people with it can download production music. Some charge ontop of that too - it's a long and complicated process. Most of R1's stuff is comissioned personally, I think.

Virtually all of it is comissioned.

Here's what I beleive to be production music used on R1

Who/What/Where Am I (now rested)

Oh, What's Occuring

Rob DJ's Pub Quiz

The Surgery With Aled

All the rest is exclusive to them, apart from their X Gen, and id_1 Noise Fusion stuff

And yes, PRS/MCPS licencing is VERY expensive

    • What does that even mean? 😂
    • Not sure what it really means, but Scott Mills is one of the least distracting DJs according to new research. https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/cars/article-13283609/Most-distracting-radio-podcast-hosts-driving-revealed-Mark-Wright-Chris-Evans-list.html It says Radio 1 though, which is not only inaccurate, but also I can only imagine it applying to his Radio 2 show. How many sounds effects did he used to play on Radio 1, ha.
    • I would rather do the new music show than the breakfast show early starts, being cheery and entertaining isn’t my vibe and being hip and on trend. With new music it’s a different kettle of fish that could get my teeth into and enjoy researching and planning of the show and coming up with ideas and making my mark in away that I don’t think I have the ideas for a breakfast. I don’t see how it could be alienating but I enjoy the niche and speciality of expertise that new music shows gives it’s good spot of giving you the headlines and setting the agenda of mainstream music.
    • Absolutely, Jack is such an incredible broadcaster already, incredibly entertaining with such brilliant music knowledge and his excitement is contagious, I've never really listened to New Music Shows like Future Sounds but I'm instantly invested in new music due to his show, as I'm sure many others are too.  yes the effects are a little strange but after listening back they're strangely charming when you get used to them. 
    • Jack has smashed it He was born for this show, he said he’d been dreaming of it and you could tell. Such passion and energy as always with Jack but in a show that can grab people’s attention and drag them down the rabbit hole of new music if you had a keen interest in discovering new music but haven’t in a while, new music shows can be alienating with no familiarity until you ‘get into it’ - the new show has ensured you can ease into to get back into sync . i love the Zane influences - he will be the forefront of where every emerging and returning artist wants to be with this show . Very excited for this chapter
    • Oh I though they were nbh studios   
    • Yes, I feel that unless it’s for a special sessions with a large ensemble band that for live sessions going out live on the radio. Never saw why they haven’t used the live lounge studio and feel that room could be used more.  
    • Interesting now Zane has for apple interviewed anything from an artists that have charted and doing less interviews with new and emerging talents chatting to Shakira, Usher, Kelly Clarkson and Shania Twain. Yes, that is a positive thing about Jack Saunders. Although I don’t mind it from time to time for a presenter to be honest and spill an unsavoury opinion about music on the station like Annie did with Fall Out Boy.
    • Interesting Jack mentioned they've got new studios at Maida Vale; you'd think, with the move to Stratford, they wouldn't bother update the studios so close to the end...
    • I assume it's meant to appeal to a TikTok generation
    • Yep Jack is very much Radio 1's modern day Zane Lowe - but with the bonus that he does feel a bit a bit more open-minded and open to chart stuff than Zane was. I could never imagine Zane being a chart host the way Jack is - I always had the sense if Zane didn't approve of your music taste he'd make you well aware of it.
    • I will still call them sessions as feel with gigs it makes you think of a live tangible means of going to listen to a band play music and not virtually tuning in via the medium of radio.
    • He does what the show needs regardless of how annoying some people may find his presentation style is like. I feel and very much do hope he is in for the long haul and could atleast do four years where his energy may into be as always as bouncy. But he has the knowledge, passion and interaction and not so overbearing but very much so sense of confidence that you need. I think he could easily have a good Zane Lowe like era. Just hope that they consider doing a new late night live music show as I do miss that something of what he had in the early days of the indie show and when Huw Stephens was on live at the after ten slot
    • Speaking of the sessions, they've been renamed Live Gigs for any forum members not listening to the show & reading this later
