Holly's chart intro was shortlived. Heard a new version today with the new voiceovers, minus the 'listen from 4, watch from 6' tag.

The 5pm news intro has been updated too.

Posted this in the wrong thread, doh.

Aha oh well!

Yeah i know, was a bit sad to be honest. I'm guessing they're still recording some of the ID's? Dev doesn't seem to have any of the new voices, the Official Number 1 trail only got updated this afternoon, Official Chart/Update, 10 Minute Takeover and the odd few bits here and there are still on the old voices!

Dev probably does have new voices, but for whatever reason he never plays his name IDs, only generic Radio 1 ones. He does have a few funny ones he uses sometimes recorded by Matt Fincham, like "Dev- the one with the fat voice". Don't think they'll bother updating the 10 Minute Takeover, they didn't the last time they changed the voices until he got the new jingles if I remember correctly. Dev's ramp, as well as the podcast intros still have Holly and David, so I don't think they're in a hurry to update absolutely everything

Thought the new chart into sounded awful, with the "ONE ONE ONE ONE" non echo.

Dev probably doesn't have generic name IDs made. His permanent slot is the Weekend Breakfast Show which has it's own package.

I have never ever liked Gemma's style of presenting; she has no radio skills whatsoever, which makes for hard listening. Thank god I'm half asleep when I hear the last 20 minutes of her show, otherwise I think I'd have a nervous breakdown.

I mean, she has to do ONE news intro in her whole show- ONE- and she can't even get that right. Unbelievable.

Perhaps they should scrap the news in ramp for just that reason- so all the amateurs they're getting on these days don't sound so bad.

I'm hoping for a style similar to the 2000-2006 packages, where the news in can be as long or as short as the DJ wants. That could still work now, so long as the DJ stopped speaking by 30:00, when the newsreader starts, plus it would make timing slightly less rigid, because they could start playing the in whenever they wanted, up to a few seconds before the half hour.

I also think they'll drop taglines from the news ins this time round, just going for a "BBC Radio 1-Newsbeat" type thing, followed by a "Newsbeat" after the headline. Still curious as to what they'll use in place of sport and weather beds, which haven't been commissioned this time round IIRC. Perhaps the launch of the new package will be the time they drop weather altogether (it's already been dropped from the 16:30 and 17:45, only Tina does it on the breakfast show now).

This is very true.

IT'S OFFICIALLY OFFICIAL! New jingles on January 5th!

Louisa Compton, the editor of Newsbeat (@louisa_compton) just tweeted about things Newsbeat will be doing in 2015, and the new imaging package is at the top of the list.

New years resolution: perhaps get a life and stop getting excited about new jingles.

EDIT: Just remembered that 1Xtra do a news bulletin at 6AM, so that'll be the first time it's played with Twin B and Yasmin Evans, then at 06:30 by Adele, then Huw during the breakfast show.

Same here, I'm really hoping for a return to Music4, but they seem to have been surpassed by the likes of Wise Buddah and Koink these days.

Another nerdy observation, not quite new-jingle related, but 1Xtra don't seem to be having any news today, and Radio 1 are doing news on the hour to fit between repeat of My Playlister, so it means (for one day only), there's no clock start news! Dev celebrated by going to the news at 08:33. Oh, how I've missed daytime DJs being fashionably late for the news.

1Xtra Breakfast now starts at 7AM, so no news at 6.

    • 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
