Radio 1 Anthems Scheduling

[Guest inxces4308]

Well not sure if this is really worthy of a new topic but on the Music 4 website today they annouched that they are creating a new package for newsbeat. I wonder if it will be just a simple reworking or a total new sound...i hope so!

Fresh for 2009!

The team at Music 4 and Music 4 Studios have been working hard throughout December on fresh new imaging for BBC Radio 1... A number of new jingles and themes have been produced for The Chris Moyles Show and Newsbeat.

The hugely popular Chris Moyles Show moves into it's 5th year in January 2009 and will burst back on the air with new jingles, themes and contest beds for the show.

Radio 1 Newsbeat will be freshened up with a remixed theme for 2009.

Audio highlights of all of the new work will appear on music4.com early in 2009.

The current Duu du du du's for Newsbeat are nowhere near as good as the previous ones. As for Moyles his jingles seem to get better every time so they should be good.

they should theme the newsbeat imaging like it was around 7 years ago, it sounded quite authoritatttttive like comedy dave said at the time.

[Behelzebub]

Oh yeah, I think I remember that, was that when it was pretty much exactly the same as the BBC News jingles?

[Jugalug]

Actually, I've always preferred the current Newsbeat to the previous.

no, those were the ones around 2003. i meant these ones:-

although it's much better today than the jingles with that annoying woman on everything from 3 years back.

we are all so sad.

[popbitcher]

as long as it's not a cheesy singer doing it i am sure it will be good!

Yep I'm the first to admit that.

[Guest inxces4308]

Well.....the new newsbeat theme is on-air today.......

They've made it faster and abit rockier...

[JonathanEx]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who recognised it as being new! I like it, nice tweak.

[Guest inxces4308]

The voiceovers at the top of the jingle also sound abit rushed....

[Rik]

I like the bed, it's got a nice rocky feel. There's a distinct lack of the dum dee dum dumm logo which I thought would be expected. There's no real ramp on the introduction to the first ident like there used to be which I think might make it a bit more difficult for Scott, Chris and Greg to hit it as they like to do. I also agree the top ident sounds rushed and the male voice sounds a bit high doesn't it?

Even after all that, I still quite like it.

[Nik B.]

I don't like it as much as the old one. I want the old ones back :bah:

[Jugalug]

You'll all love it in a few days - it just sounds weird cus it's new.

[Guest inxces4308]

When they launched the new female voiceover (Holly From MStone) they changed the newsbeat jingle but then changed it again a few days after and changed the effects on her voice. I think they may do it again this time round.....

[Ant L]

VERY nice. I was only expecting a few changes like they did when they added the new female voiceover, but much impressed.

Let's hope Music4 add it to their site soon so we can hear the package properly.

[Jono]

I'll add up a recording at 12.30pm if I remember! Not heard them yet...

Edit: It reminds me somewhat of commercial radio's news. It's certainly only a remix of the old package but it's more upbeat and has the Music4 magic about it.

It's a bit loud and in your face for the presenter to talk over but I could soon get used to it.

Have they dropped doing with weather? Or dont they normally do it at the weekend?

I think weathers only mornings and evenings. They might not do it at weekends at all, I'm not sure though.

[Fraz- J]

I'm downloading the new theme now, I'm actually quite excited to hear it!

I actually quite like it! It's quite fast though innit?! I don't like the female voiceover's echo of 'Radio 1' but it's quite good It does sound like they've kept most of the old voiceovers, and sounds like a remix of the old package but it's good

A low quality clip for those that haven't heard it.

Was my attachment in Post #17 not efficient enough? :shock:

[Jugalug]

I'm sure it was, but I didn't see it. My head is now hanging in shame.

[The Stig]

I like it. Not the last one, the one before http://chrismoyles.net/soundvault/pafiledb.php?action=file&id=1203 had that rocky up tempo theme, whereas the last one was a bit flat. This one's much better.

[Jugalug]

I actually liked the last one an awful lot, and didn't feel it had aged - all of the previous ones had started to grate on me by the time they'd changed.
