Reminiscing The Big Breakfast

Listening to Gaby's radio show on BBC Radio London today and she has a 'Question of the Day' feature which she calls um, "The Question of the Day" complete with fanfare each time she reads out messages from listeners!

Coronation Street

Why's Rita having a go at that postbox?

Reminds me of Ben Mitchell...


Perhaps she's talking to Len's ghost?

The Sport Thread

Not sure if this kind of post belongs here but on BBC Radio London digital towards the end of the first half of the Spurs commentary tonight a few seconds of tone was heard almost sounding like it was censoring the commentators. Not sure if it was mentioned at the start of the second half. Does tone appear if a signal is lost briefly?

New BBC Local Radio jingles

How are the jingles handled for evening shows that broadcast to 6 or 7 stations? For instance Paul Miller is broadcasting now on across the South. The phone number jingle on Radio Solent is played and it sings BBC Radio Solent meanwhile at the same time over on Radio Kent the phone number jingle played and Radio Kent is sung over it.

Split jingles. The studio the programmes coming from fires off jingles at all the stations it's going out in.

It's not a new technology, commercial stations that network have done it for many years, but I think the BBC Local stations only gained the ability to when the national evening programme started. Before then the regional programmes had less specific jingles' BBC in the Midlands' for example.


Thanks for the explanation. I hadn't heard of split jingles before until last night while seeing what was on offer elsewhere on the sounds app.

ITV Programming Thread

It’s a minor presentation issue, but whilst watching a recording of last night’s ‘The Martin Lewis Money Show Live Christmas Special’, I noticed that ITV DOG was present during the first part but failed to materialise from the second part onwards. I haven’t noticed any issues with it in the past, and it usually is only left off news programmes.


The DOG probably went on walkies and got lost.

What's that in the bottom left...

I assume they have removed it as the link no longer works.

New BBC Local Radio jingles

Just heard the new top of the hour bed on BBC Radio Solent. I do like the new sounds for local BBC Radio.
