I heard them for the 1st time this morning too, not good. Next it will be Get up with the BBC's Moyles, Get Home with the BBC's Mills, And stay up with the BBC's Grimshaw. Then it will be changed to Get up with the BBC, Get Home with the BBC, And stay up with the BBC.

don't see why everyone's complaining.

Every other station has emphasis on the BBC - even local radio put emphasis on the BBC. Eg, BBC Newcastle is not just called Radio Newcastle any more.

It's still BBC Radio Norfolk here. They're not taking away the radio from our name ;)

BBC Radio Devon here. Anyway, I'm used to the new V/O now. Holly started in October, so she'll have to go soon

She'll go next year wont she? They alternate between changing the male and female v/o each year so they are on for 2 years. When she does change, I would like Katie off of the INMWT voice overs.

So would I. When she was doing V/O's for nick grimshaw's show, announcing a bed by saying 'Nick Grimshaw, BBC Radio 1', that was great. Have you heard Grimmy's male V/O? http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00m42fp/Nick_Grimshaw_20_08_2009/

Listen from about 11:02

Newly posted on Music4 today, are the July 1tros, not very many, and not that good.

Music4 at their best here! Big Weekend Imaging http://www.music4.com/musicservices/catalogue/611/bbc-radio-1/big-weekend-themes.html

Wonder what the new newsbeat jingles will sound like next year? A remix of the 2002 ones would be nice. I'm getting a bit bored of the current ones. Has anyone got a clean 2002 intro? If you have, can you pleas post it on the site thanks

They are the same standard as normal, nothing wrong with them. The montage dosen't do it justice though.

However, I wouldn't be surprised if Radio 1 dropped them in the next few months or early next year. They have been around for a while now and probably need something 'new' in its place.

The thing is with the Newsbeat and 1tros, if it ain't broke, don't fix it, right? I can understand wanting to keep them fresh, but there's still live in the highly recognisable Newsbeat theme, and the 1tros do a good job of integrating the Radio 1 logo in to the station sounds. I like the 1tro montages, and wonder if actually montages could be used as a soundtrack to advertisements maybe on BBC Three of the station: and they're updated each month to reflect what the station plays.

Though I just had a HORRIFIC thought: they'll add 3 more notes to the logo so it's BBC Radio 1. It wouldn't surprise me, sadly.

However, I suppose it may be time to try something a bit more 'new' with the imaging - it's not really evolved in recent time.

As I said, they will probably add something 'new' or remove them/rest them.

The Station imaging is fine

Really?! Are you still listening to the old radio 1?

I do like the 1tros, before it was news outs so you couldnt hear the start of a damn song anyway

Have you heard their new FX's, it's getting worse and worse!

It's just a collection of noise!

No, they're used in between stuff, and sound very good. Obviously I haven't listened to it, but I assume this is what you mean.

Thats exactly what they are. FX are noises made into other noises and sounds.

Radio 1 don't just use X-Gen, they also use there custom package from Noise Fusion. There custom package is the main package you hear, although its being phased out from listening to there new awful imaging.

Is Hayles gonna be the new female V/O? I've not heard her before. She sounds great! Is it me, or are Radio 1 just picking out random people for V/O's

Is it bad that I heard Hayley on the Reading/Leeds trail and thought "the new Holly from Maidstone?!?!? :O"

They do that. I just heard that, and she sounds talented

hayley sorry

    • Less so with 5 Live. But with Nihal, Nicky Campbell and Mark Chapman get what you are saying.6 Music does have that with Huw Stephens, Mary Anne Hobbs, Gilles Peterson, Marc Riley and Mark Radcliffe
    • Agreed, Martha seems to quietly taken over as host of the Tuesday Bass and Big Beats show that Annie Nightingale did would be good to have some promotion to be done for her show. Agreed with this on bank holidays on a Radio 1 dance day inpaticular would be quite good to have Sarah Storey, Jaguar, Jeremiah Asiamah, Charlie Tee and Martha presenting. I always felt that in Christmas and New Year previously having Victoria Jane to do a Future Soul take over playlist.
    • To be fair to him, this week and next week he’s on his podcast tour which was arranged well before he started on R1. After that I would guess he’ll start being on everyday? 
    • It’s Jamie’s dream of a lifetime to be a full time Radio 1 presenter apparently, but he can only do it 2 or 3 days a week. 
    • Radio 1 generation meaning??  Today's 10-30 yr-olds? I doubt it. They'll still know Pete Tong though, because he is rhyming slang!
    • There was a time when everyone knew Zane Lowe or Annie Mac or Judge Jules or Dave Pearce or Annie Nightingale. Does the Radio 1 generation know the current bunch?
    • Looks like it's off to Preston! 
    • Would be nice to give more presence to the specialist shows over bank holidays. Surely the best way to promote new music credentials over anthems? As much as I accept it's very popular.
    • Peak radio 1 ! I agree with Bluestraw there was huge presence by specialist presenters then , certainly something I think radio1 could do more of now. Remember the takeover where specialist DJs would swap into main shows for a week? Or do we recall In New DJs We Trust, the competition on Chris moyles show where the winner would get a DJ set at radio 1s Ibiza weekend, and that is how Danny Howard’s radio career starters
    • Yeah. He started on R1 in the late 90's when they used do the 'Sessions in the Nations' where they used to split for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. He then moved to daytimes, firstly on weekends in 2003 then they replaced Mark & Lard on the mid afternoon slot in 2004.  Then he moved to late evenings as a specialist DJ.
    • Thanks for sharing that - I don't think I've seen it before. Didn't realise that Colin Murray off of Countdown and R5L used to be on R1! Several other current R2/R5L/R6M names there too.
    • 29th April has updated to show Dan back as presenter but still Nels in for Alyx on Introducing Rock. 6th May schedule has updated to show that the Radio 1 Big Weekend Shows will now be the following: 6am-10am 10am-2pm 2pm-6pm 6pm-8pm Still no presenters listed.
    • 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.
    • Yeah, I feel like they need a big push on Jack to cement him in his new position. But it shouldn't just be Jack, you've got Sian and Alyx for instance, who are relatively new faces.
    • 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.
