The Beats Per Minute for BBC News Theme

I'm not BIG on music, but I am keen to know what is the BPM for the BBC News Theme...

I have a small idea in my head about creating a mock of the ABC News Australia Theme with the BBC style, but both had different BPM.

Thanks

P.S. What is the BPM for this track too, it's the theme I want to add the beeps to...

BBC News is definitely 120bpm and by the sounds of it, so is the ABC News music.

Seems that you are right, now to sync the beeps to the beat

EDIT: Also what is the frequency used on the Beeps, Low and high pitched...

The BBC news theme is based around the radio time signifying pips, of which there are 60 every second.

So you could have guessed at 120bmp, given where the pips are placed in each bar of music.

Wow, 60 every second? That's fast...

It's 60 every minute, I.e. one pip per second. So yes, 120bmp.

My typo.

*hands held up*

Surely if we're going to pull hairs, it's bpm not bmp?

I think the BPM is a question that hardly requires much thinking in this case - but still!

Since nobody has bothered to address the frequencies yet - possibly worth making a distinction between the actual pips and the BBC News 'pips':

GTS pips tone is the standard 1000Hz / 1KHz - also used as a continuous tone, for example with BBC1 Test Cards.

However, the BBC News pieces have this pitched down by a semitone, so this would make it about 942Hz for what you call the high note, and you can simply halve that to get the same note an octave lower; those are your two required frequencies. An interesting test is if you play these tones whilst playing the BBC News music, the similar frequencies should in theory cancel each other out.

I did TWO mistakes?

Hebus Jebus.

Glad I wasn't engraving this on a tombstone.

I also put bmp...silly me.
