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.

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

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.

on the grid.

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.

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.....

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.

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 :)

    • 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
