There's a small version on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S4C If that isn't big enough, t'aint difficult to produce a biggun of your own!
Logo finders might also find this site useful: http://brandsoftheworld.com/ (S4C is an older version, but there's still loads of good and useful stuff on there...)
Network Gold is still networked across WM and Coventry & Warwickshire.
The rest of the region (Shropshire, Stoke & Hereford & Worcester) now have their own show which is Youth Club Classics presented from Stoke by Mary Fox.

I hate all this 'Library Music' snobbery - I've yet to hear any explanation how library music differs in sensitivity to other copyrighted music (such as BBC News) which can, apparently be shared freely in broadcast quality, openly on the forum.
I guess it doesn't really. In copyright terms library music is the same as commercially available music in that, whichever way you look at it, it shouldn't be distributed without permission. Same goes for TV themes (whether they're commercially available or not).
Personally I wish this wasn't the case, I'd love to get hold of certain themes (as some other forum members I've spoken to will know) but I'm mindful that if the relevant copyright holders (of *anything* being shared here, not just library stuff) are looking in, then the Forum could get into trouble.
I think Library Music is highlighted around here, with it's own sticky thread: http://www.tvforum.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9554 ... simply because that tends to be where more of the music requested comes from.
The Awakening (in all its forms) is available from the KPM library. When KPM issue something in their library, they own both the recording and the publishing, therefore it can't be used *anywhere* without an MCPS licence.
Occasionally you'll see KPM tracks on commercial releases, and sometimes they'll show a slightly different publisher (though they'll still be linked to KPM and/or EMI).
Your basic rule is that *all* music has a publisher, and if you don't have permission to distribute it (in whatever way - recording or sheet music), then if you do, you're leaving yourself open to potential legal action.
I think its news got past to Meridian Broadcasting
all of its Kids stuff went to Media Merchants, - STV does control Art attack! Expect Fraggle rock
A correction about Fraggle Rock. Although TVS was shown as the UK 'programme maker', in actual fact it was a syndicated programme. The core Fraggle material was produced in Toronto and every country around the world that bought the programme would produce their own 'outside world' footage. In the UK this featured The Captain & Sprocket. In the US, it was 'Doc' and Sprocket. In France it was yet another 'Doc' and 'Crocquette'... etc... etc...
The UK Captain stuff was indeed produced by TVS in this co-production deal, but the whole caboodle has always been owned outright by The Jim Henson Company. TVS just had the initial UK transmission rights.
Also, don't read anything else into it, but it's just a fluke that one of the (UK) episodes on DVD release has the TVS ident at the start.
Surely a one minute round would drag. The point is to put the contestants under pressure and come up with a word in ONLY 30 seconds.
Never mind how good the music is (it could be 30 seconds of farm sounds and cattle noise for that matter), the point is how it relates to gameplay.
30 seconds works well in this context with 9 letters. 60 seconds would allow more thinking time of course, but you still might not get any better words. A 30 second limit works much better IMO.
Perhaps the set does need a bit of an update. What's the average usage time been for a Countdown set? I have a feeling the more recent incarnation (designed by Andy Walmsley, a mate of mine who did the recent Tiswas set) was purposely desgined to be more compact is storage than previous version.
Maybe it'll all change if they move the show to the Teddington Studios in London... or so the rumours go...
Well the Sunday show is the
Wolverhampton
Community Magazine, so there's no real need for it to be on in Birmingham anymore. It'd be nice from our point of view, but the fact is that it would be mostly irrelevant in Brum, so they stick with the FM programming.
I have a feeling that the WM online feed used the 95.6 output and so therefore it isn't on the WM webstream. However, it is on WCR's webstream because we simulcast the programme on 101.8. And then if you miss it, it's on the Beeb's 'Listen Again'.
You mention Jim Duncan - he's great. I don't think he ever really retired. In between WABC and here he's been busy running Line Dancing classes, writing country music reviews, organising the 'Wolvestock' event every year and so on. He's also running the arena at the Wolverhampton Show this weekend. I sat in with Jim on WABC's last day, and it was pretty sad... but that's the way it goes... Jim was in WCR this morning to promote the Wolverhampton Show - he's still going strong!
So you were a fan of the Midnight Line eh? Quite a cult in its day. Ian's a good laugh too... very strange sense of humour, but it worked a treat.
BTW WCR seem to have a bigger playlist than WM, from what I've heard of it. You know I don't normally stray too far from WM BTW!
I noticed I can get a decent signal on my new DAB/FM radio in the office where I work in Willenhall(That big industrial estate the other side of the Keyway!), but I couldn't get it on a rotary dial though!
Yeah, we've got absolutely loads on our playlist, and it's growing all the time. It's difficult because we haven't got one particular audience to play to, if you see what I mean. When I was at Beacon we very specifically went for something like 15-35 (or something like that). These days that age group is even smaller (more 15-25 I think). With a station like ours is now (WCR FM as opposed to the previous Campus service) we have to cater for anyone and everyone in all the local communities to a certain extent, hence the larger number of songs and the larger variety.
(My show sticks with the up to date stuff though - this is what they want!! )
Difficult to tell where we can be picked up. Technically it should only be within the boundarys of Wolverhampton. But even then, physical issues get in the way of certain closer areas, but help it to travel to further-out areas! Ofcom only allows us a certain power through the transmitter (I'm not technical, so I don't know what exactly it might be). Funny though, I can usually pick it up OK along the Black Country route and all the way to my Parents in Tipton.
BTW - we're doing the Wolverhampton show on WM DAB on Saturday afternoon again, simulcast on 101.8 WCR FM.
The Tiswas radio special currently being broadcast on WCRFM, I believe, will be offered as a downland from there, if I remember Mr B's or Peter Thomas's posts correctly.
That's very kind of you to link to me Westy! (I've been away for a couple of weeks, hence my very naughty *bump* of this thread!!).
Any road, the theme is certainly on there... as is the rest of the show. Hope you enjoy/enjoyed it!
