I'd love a jingle that began with a loud BOOM followed by "THIS..... IS THE F****** NEWS" ..... #justathought And "here... is your b****** weather" .... and "If you don't like it, tune in to someone

At last!

Looking forward to hearing them. I wonder who created them though...

I wonder if this will change the voiceovers aswell. The male voice has been used since June 2009, Holly (female voice), has been on since October 2008!

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

I like the current jingles and voiceovers! They are probably losing the logo so that it fits in more seamlessly at weekends with the 1Xtra news bed!

I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case!

Also - the voiceovers aren't changing, it's still the same male & female voice that Radio 1 currently have. There will still be a logo - but a different one from the current one.

"Digital FM Online" will be replaced by "Listen Watch Share".

Listen watch share is both chavvy and naff all in one. Quite Impressive.

Holly has been on for longer has she not? She did the big weekend stuff for Maidstone?

For anyone who's interested, the new Newsbeat jingles package is produced by a company called Koink. They're on Twitter: @koink

Interesting that they're the company behind the latest chart jingles. It doesn't look like they update their website vigorously, so bad news for fellow jingle geeks like myself.

I liked Digital FM Online. I like when I am making toast in the morning, and this comes on, and it sounds so dramatic I feel my toaster my explode, and I must step away from the appliance and listen to the news.

There's no way this new jingle is gonna have that effect, and I'm not happy :-(

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.

Just had a listen to 1xtra. It seems their jingles are pretty much the same (including the Listen, Watch Share tagline) and have even adopted the Newsbeat name.

I guess it would make sense to do it that way.

What does everyone think then? I'm actually quite impressed - it's a step in a completely different direction and I like.

SHITE. That's what I think. 100% SHITE. No drama. Nothing. Just bland.

No wonder Moyles was making an arse of it today. It's ridiculous.

Not awful.

Well, I think they're alright - the production doesn't seem quite right on them, eg the end as discussed on Moyles, it's too abrupt and doesn't blend - and the ramp doesn't really build, it's just STRAIGHT IN FULL MUSIC.

They're not bad, and I think when people get used to getting the right levels they'll sound a bit better - sometimes the volume has been a bit low on the stabs when going in to the next bed and it looses some impact.

However, I love them for the amount of content it gave Moyles this morning. Listen / Watch / Cher, the other Listen... ideas and their remixes were hilarious.

I was not amused. And as Moyles was saying, it sounds as if your radio is WATCHING you (as a person).

I'm never sitting in the kitchen in my nighty and luminous pink socks ever again, and it's all because of this jingle.

Just heard the new package in action and it is certainly the definition of bland, nothing really stands out and gets me to listen as the old Newsbeat packages did. Don't know about the whole listen/watch/share strapline, it just sounds a bit naff - and even though there is drive to make radio multi-platform these days during events, I don't think watch really works most of the time as the roving webcams are off, and they are deviating from what the whole point of R1 is, a radio station!

Interesting these jingles, if you're sad like us. As jingles I like them, I like the logo, but for me the main problem is they just don't sound "newsy", IE serious enough. When Tina was reading the top story in a serious tone of voice this morning it just didn't sound right. For the sport they'd be fine.

As for "listen, watch, share" that just signifies the way the industry is going, whether we like it or not. To survive stations are having to do more than just conventional radio, hence the additional interactivity and video content. Radio 1 are reflecting that so I don't think its a bad thing, its just the station evolving. Others will follow. Overall not too bad and I'll get used to them. A refresh was much needed as believe it or not the old style and logo had been used for ages, 2004 I think, albeit with the packages being refreshed every few years.

I absolutely love them. They're completely different, and I love the new sound. Moyles spent long time thismorning discussing them.

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.

      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!

      R1 to R2 transfers

      By Lee E · Posted

      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

      By NathanS · Posted

      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

      Radio 1 Anthems Scheduling

      By Lee E · Posted

      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.
