This is only an audio mix, the visuals are from already existing BBC sources. Hope you like the audio anyway.

I really like this, it fits with the white and bright corporate branding somehow, because it seems so modern!

You should have a go at some titles, hint hint!

The pips could be more prominent toward the end, but I have to say this is very nice indeed - well produced!

Really good, but I'm not so sure about the end, particularly with what I think are string effects.

I'd definitely like to hear what else you have in mind. Headline beds, stings, titles etc. Would the World countdown have that signature melody?

Excellent work. One of the best audio mocks I've ever heard. Very modern, futuristic and great to listen to!! I'd love to hear more.

Thanks for sending those along. Super.

So, where is this tune from then, with the pizzicato strings at the end? It's A great tune.

With the exception of the Thunderclaps, the tune is completely original. All sounds created in Apple Garageband. I have just finished a complete package for BBC World News Today, I will try to upload to youtube ASAP, alternately you could email me and I'll send you a copy. (The File is a 42MB .AIF) along with a June 2009 mix which I will not be uploading to youtube. So exclusivity could be yours.

PS. I would ask all members who already have copies of my mixes, please do not to circulate them, I will supply all copies, to those who request. Thanks again.
