People spend five years complaining that the region needs new titles.

When they get new titles, they complain that they want them changed back.

Regardless of whether you like them or not, surely you have got what you wanted, a new set of titles for the programme?


Ha. That'll teach them. The outgoing titles were great and BBC Scotland did themselves a favour by keeping them as long as they did. The Lambie-Narin titles were the best and when they were replaced they weren't as good (with the slight exception of south-west's Spotlight),


I would also add the original BBC LDN titles were better than the LN titles IMO Wink


I thought Lambie-Nairn did the LDN titles? In London we had to get new titles because we were split from Newsroom South East, to London and South East Today(I think its called that)


He made the titles, but the music was an adapted version of 94.9 IIRC which was made by Music4.

However BBC LDN was originally going to be called "London Live" in line with the radio station, and did have a flying map sequence produced - but it was scrapped when the plans were changed and the LDN device brought in Wink

I thought David Lowe did the composition, and Music 4 did the production and manipulation on it. I remember London Live, it was in use on the website, and had the word Live in bright colours and paint like font.

Music 4 came up with the logo of 'do do dee do' for London Live 94.9 in 2000. It was then revamped with Music 4 and David Lowe collaborating to create a TV package and a Radio Package to keep a consistent audio logo across the platforms.

Yeah but did you know that complaining was our national pass time?


So is the music to be updated too?

From what posters on the BBC News rebrand site are saying all English regions are getting a new tune, so I would hope that would mean the nations are getting a new one as well. It would seem that while the other regions are stepping back in time we are progressing lol.

You are correct - Music4 did the logo - and I have to say it is still the one I remember most - but then Music4 are used to doing radio where you don't have the pictures to go with stuff so the tune has to stick in your mind more than with TV. You try humming the TV News theme - not as easy, although now well and truly BBC News.

That London Live sequence was made available on here, so someone might be able to re-upload it. It was quite nice I seem to remember!
