New station voices?

Recommended Posts

I've heard the new voiceovers on the chart. The girl is also used on what used to be BBC switch and i'm sure its the guy who is voicing the current Hackney trails and the like. I was hoping to post a few clips but my computer is failing miserably tonight. New Voiceovers are also started on teh Chrt Show a few weeks before they are intoduced in the main schedule if i am right in remembering?

The girl is also on the new Chart Show trail and near the end she says Listen, watch, share. They wouldn't commission her to say that just for a trail surely?

If this is the case i think they will be in place in April for the new schedule.

Capes :)

I think you're right. David (the current male station voice) has been on air since 2009, and I think Holly (female station voice) has been on for a little longer if I'm not mistaken. After three years I think its time for a bit of change. It'll be interesting to see whether they update the Puretonic 1maging idents with their voices or commision another company for imaging. And you're correct the voice on the Hackney trails is the guy, I'm sure I've heard him around the station before maybe during nighttimes. But yeah I'm all for the change!

I have noticed that the 'usual' voiceovers are appearing less and less on new material, so it does seem likely the voices on the Official Chart may well appear across the board soon.

Speaking of the chart, does anyone know who does the new imaging?

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.

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

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!

New female voice; sounds very good on the Newsbeat imaging. Will give some other shows a listen later on today.

So, tomorrow is the launch for 'The new sound of Radio 1' Lets hope it is a complete over haul including new Newsbeat imaging as well as DJ stuff. We'll see!

Yeah it's the end of Raai-di-o 1! Will be interested to see what it sounds like in Fearne's show.

Well I must say I like the male voice, but the female one just doesn't sound quite right - especially on the Newsbeat imaging - far too much emphasis on THIS! Made me chuckle with Moyles taking the piss earlier!

Also, got to give Chris Smith a hats off for his twitter branded entertainment news imaging earlier today! Bravo!

The last update from Pure Tonic Media was January 2011. Nothing more after that. Basically they created updates in August/Sep/Oct/Nov/Dec 2010 and January 2011, then it all suddenly stopped....

Pure Tonic got swallowed up by Reelworld in summer last year so perhaps that had something to do with the lack of updates from then on, and the introduction of a new package.

Ah! This i have no doubt is the reason. Probably something to do with contracting. Glad PTM went though, their R1 stuff was rubbish

I think the PTM, R1 stuff was really good. I just think it was to commercial for Radio 1.

To make the Radio 1 stuff, PT done requires a fair bit of Production talent. :)

What have I got?

Yes i suspect it probably does and the way they made individual Ra-Di- O stuff and allowed R1 to make their own stuff was a great idea. ike you say maybe it was too commercial, either way it didn't suit m(even if i did find my self singig along to them in the car!)

    • 29th April has updated to show Dan back as presenter but still Nels in for Alyx on Introducing Rock.
    • Where do we think Radio 2 in the Park will be this year? Personally I'm thinking Swindon after Scott's clue of it having many roundabouts and since Big Weekend is at Luton I can't imagine they'd go to Milton Keynes.
    • Now in it's third week, the new Capital Breakfast Show seems to be settling down well and there are more of the informal, random Jordan topics appearing.  Though it is clear he wants to be seen slightly differently. It really is a very decent listen.
    • Just Vick and Katie on Wednesday (and presumably Thursday as well).
    • Unless people can provide a source for this information then it should be treated as false.   Why would Jordan sign a contract with the BBC in the autumn when he agreed a deal with Global?  He could have left in August and not had to deal with the BBC.  Vick who doesn't really like Global why would she recommend him to go there and then warn him in her post to be careful?   It's been whispered from October that Roman was thinking of going.  Roman and Jordan have the same management team.  Why would they put Jordan in a place where he would have to battle with the BBC.  They could have agreed a deal with Global for Jordan in the summer.  They might have had to pay first couple months but they would do they to secure him.  If they had known about Roman wanting to leave they could have paid Roman off to get Jordan on air quicker.  Global would also not had legal around BBC contract to deal with and would not have had to pay the BBC to release Jordan.  None of what people say makes sense and if it did happen the way people say then BBC are not the stupid ones.  It really is not a good look to be talking with Global for 6 months, to then sign a contract with a the BBC, continue to talk to Global behind BBC's back after signing and then couple of months later want to leave and to throw a hissy fit as the BBC are not giving you what you want when you want it. That not a good light for Jordan or his management.   
    • Wow, surprised he signed a new contract in September but it says a lot about Jordan that he continued to a very high standard throughout last summer/autumn if this was all going on in the background. 
    • They knew Roman wanted to leave early last year but wasn't officially announced but he gave them time to sort replacement. Found and offered Jordan a deal in June or July and needed time to get Jordan out of Contract at bbc and roman to do notice  Jordan had dinner with Katie Vick and Arielle to ask advice and all said he should go.   
    • And they told Radio 4’s Feedback that it was an ‘experiment’ to ‘look at the best way to serve young listeners’ but reaffirmed that 280 hours commitment.
    • I doubt he wanted to go to Global if a slot before he found out kemp was leaving.
    • We're hoping to get some answers in the coming weeks
    • From what he's saying on the Pod he's been trying to get out of r1 for a while. Looks like he needed to wait for a show on global to be available. Jordan had bbq last summer with most of thr global execs and he's referenced the deal was in place then. Obviously the hold up was r1 being stubborn
    • All seems to be back to normal this morning.
    • Indeed and Jordan was already friends with Sian Welby, Will Manning and Jimmy Hill.  
    • It's great to see those friendships still thriving. I think the days of Radio 1 DJs and Capital DJs being unable to co-exist is long over. You used to either be firmly BBC or commercial, and you don't get the sense that's the case anymore. 
    • Maia Beth will be presenting the Radio 1 Happy shows from the 27th April replacing Katie.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001ydkr
