2016 Power Intros

Recommended Posts

I'm no expert at controls at R1, but for me it sounds like the TOTH/BOTH songs are pre-mixed on a Friday and the DJ's only have to press one button to play those three songs. Weekends however seems like a mix of one-piece pre-mixed songs and some where the DJ's have to press a button for each song.

I've noticed R1 have started using shorter power intros for some songs, 'Shout Out To My Ex' and a redone 'Sweet Lovin' power intros come to my mind.

I have been very reliably informed that the power intros WILL be taking over full time, and that lots of exciting new imaging is "about to drop".

Fun times for us nerds ahead.

Wooooooooooooo! Reliable informed by who (if I may ask)? Did you email someone at R1? If so my money's on Aled. Although would he use the phrase "about to drop"? Maybe not.

Also, as far as I'm aware it's up to the DJ to start the news ramp at 29:48 - it doesn't get played automatically.

Yes, they've got about 7-8 seconds to get a small speech in before the "This is BBC Radio 1" tagline comes on. I've noticed Scott cuts it fine a lot, and leaves barely half to 1 second. Alice Levine, her approach is different, calm and clear, I like it. It's always a "Time for Newsbeat now with Duncan Middleton. The time is 2:30." Rarely does she say, "It's 2:30 and here's Newsbeat with Duncan Middleton.

Grimmy's timing for Newsbeat is always off. Barely does it get broadcasted dead on the hour or half hour. Usually a few minutes late because he is insistent on playing a song at 56,57,58 or 26,27,28 past the hour. Recently Newsbeat came on at 8:35. Shocking.

I'm here for the ride guys! :D

Brilliant to hear that we are getting closer to a full package of new imaging is coming. Based on what we have been hearing, it looks like the V2 NMF voiceovers will be taking over full time and the 'Where It Begins' tagline will remain. Hopefully we stick to one set of voiceovers rather than a mix of the three we are hearing so far. Cel's show has had some fantastic new imaging rolled in with the new voiceovers in it, some of it sounds very commercial/Capital like but it doesn't matter because they are amazing.

On the subject of the voiceovers, I've identified that one of the new voiceovers is Rachelle Abbott who is the voiceover on the Residency show. I haven't identified the rest of the V2 voiceovers though, I think 3 of them are new while one of them sounds like a female voiceover from the 2012-14 package.

2017 sounds like the year of #WhereNewVoiceoversBegin!

I wouldn't exactly call the lead imaging producer at BBC Radio 1 a "moron" but each to their own. 

Well he is probably responsible for the messy imaging currently being spread across. If it's not him then whoever created they 3-way thing is a moron. As I've said before it's not a clear direction. Even if the 2014 ones are ditched (a big mistake) there will still be 2 remaining packages. The Mike Wooller ones that crept their way in earlier this year as part of NMF are the better ones.

On the other hand, the that fact it has taken most of this year to squeeze the new ones in is highly unprofessional. Making us believe we are getting a station mix up, when they're really trying to pull the carpet from underneath us by eventually removing the 2014 package. When the 2014 package launched it mainly all came within hours on one day, with various other sounds replacing old ones over the next few months. This though, they think we're not noticing, they should look more carefully.

Doesn't look like Grimmy's off any time soon then http://radiotoday.co.uk/2016/11/new-breakfast-show-imaging-for-nick-grimshaw/?utm_campaign=twitter&utm_medium=twitter&utm_source=twitter

I've heard a bit of it already and it sounds AMAZING. Blows Capital out of the water.

Is today a day for the new imaging to be rolled out across the entire station i wonder? Fingers crossed.

Seem to be montages out of the news every time, and there was a brilliant one out of the 8 o clock news, new bed, followed by mini montage of the first three songs, and then full montage with Breakfast show power intros. Although he STILL uses his generic beds half the time [emoji849]

Made a new thread on this, didn't notice your comments until now, I left my thoughts over there. 

Also, it looks like we shouldn't be accrediting any in-house teams for the power intros, but instead www.imgr.com. Looks like a drag and drop kind of system that R1 would subscribe to.

Was just about to put this but beaten again, Completely forgot about IMGR as an option for this!

    • 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
    • I’ve found the jingles are annoying and going to grate on the listener quickly. It’s a good opening week with big name hottest records and sessions
    • With the effects I'm half expecting a massive whoooooo soon
