I was kind of surprised this morning that Moyles' jingles weren't refreshed as they usually are at this time of year. Do you think it's anything to do with Radio 1 not using Music4 anymore, and do you think it's a sign of only 6 months left of the show?

[i'm new btw. Hello! :P ]

Hmm, that's an intresting point.

6 months left of the show?
Radio 1, I think are still using Music 4 for their jingles. I think they've used them for a long time, Music 4 making stuff for everything from beds to feature jingles, and I don't think they'd stop now.

It could be:

- Maybe Radio 1 think the jingles are good enough for another year? I mean, they were very very good on air, and still sound new and modern?

- Radio 1 have cut their budget? If you've noticed that Radio 1 have really also cut back the amount of Newsbeat cuts for their next package (no idea when it will be aired), then it could show a budget cut? I mean, e.g If the new package comes out, R1 and 1Xtra will be using the same weather jingle (which is strange).

I don't know really? I like the Moyles jingles and I don't think they need to be refreshed yet, but I hope it's not anything bad like Moyles leaving.....

Oh, and Radio 1 have relied on Music 4 for a long time. From Beds, Re-Voices to Jingles they've done a lot of them, and they were still doing Moyles resings / Xmas Jingles etc from Dec '10.

Latest Jingles: 2010 Beds Package, 2009 and 2010 ID Packages, Newsbeat 2009/10.

There have been lots of new jingles produced, but no new themes, I was talking to Matt Fincham the other day... the themes were strong enough to continue with, and the have themes from the past to go back on. Sadly, the 1ntros are very much dead.

Music4 have done a lot, such as entire station packages from 1998-2002, they only used them.

They made stuff like former chart beds, summer beds, and Newsbeat packages (1999,2000,2001,2002,2005,2007,2009)

Music4 is also where the change from 'Radio 1' to 'BBC Radio 1' was completed, via a June 2009 Re-voice project. I think from 2007 they produced all the ID packages, but I'm not too sure.

They also do stuff like Dev's early breakfast packages, 2008 beds (some still used today), Greg James/Scott Mills imaging ect.

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

    • Richie Anderson in for Rylan tomorrow.
    • Mylo and Rosie said at the end of their show today that they would also be on Early Breakfast on Thursday 24th July (even though the schedule still says Dean)
    • James is in for Dean from Monday 11th to Thursday 14th August. Dean is in for Greg from Monday 11th to Friday 15th August. Jaguar is in for Sarah on Friday 15th August.
    • 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
