I like it, although to me it sounds more like it would be suited for BBC Arabic rather than BBC Alba.

That's brilliant!

Maybe other regional programmes could do the same - maybe remix North West Tonight's version with Beatles/Oasis theme? Or not.

Oh why can't some outlets just be granted the permission to have a totally unique identity, minus the drums, beeps and drones of mainline BBC pres???????????

I really like that variation on the theme - it gives it some much needed character.

They could have just as easily merely changed the key and re-scored the strings, rather than adding a unique instrument as they have done here.

When BBC Alba is not broadcasting TV programmes it will broadcast BBC Radio Nan Gaidheal accompanied by a rolling news ticker at the bottom of the screen. The channel is a 50/50 partnership between MG Alba (former Gaelic Media Services) and BBC Scotland. The 19th September launch will consist of an open air concert from the Isle of Skye with news services broadcasting from Inverness on Monday 22 September 2008 at 8pm. BBC Alba have purchased the entire back catalogue of Gaelic programming from SMG.

Fully automated channel with no live presentation (broadcast from PQ) with live inserts from Inverness.

Picture of the new "Studio G" News Studio in Inverness for "An La" (The Day) and "Seachd La" (Seven Days) broadcasts (the seats are rather comfortable i must say) : http://www.rp-network.com/tvforum/uploads/dsc00105_copy1.jpg

The titles are still being tweeked, but look quite funky given the strict 'branding' guidlines. Think 'glitter ball' tho Wink

Are we talking "glitter ball" as in BBC Arabic titles, or "glitter ball" as in full discotheque style? Laughing

As the titles are still being tweeked, I'm not saying too much.
However, this still that Chickyb uploaded into the Nations & Regions thread kinda gives you a flavour

I love those titles!

BBC Alba is already a hit with my Dad, and it hasn't launched yet, you see (in reply to a post on page 2 or 3) Ulster Irish is very similar to Scots Gaelic, so much so that people from both languages could understand, so
Failte go an BBC Alba!
