BBC CD

I havent been in contact with the internet for some time and am slowly getting back but still waiting for a computer fair so i can build a new computer. I want to know if BBC World or its owner BBC Worldwide has said anything about the cd they were going to release. any info is appreciated.

Here's an e-mail I got from BBC World:

Hello and thank you for your email.

We've had an unprecedented response to our 'breakfiller' music - the tune
used when you see written items of news and information during breaks - and
this has prompted plans for a CD release of versions of it. We hope that
something will be available from October 2001 and suggest that you might
like to check our website (www.bbcworld.com) at that time for the latest
information, but it won't be possible to download it from the internet. The
short News Bulletin signature tune is not going to be for sale.

Thank you for your interest, and for watching BBC World.

With regards,
Paul Coleman
BBC Worldwide.

The BBC should know that it will be possible to download it from the internet, infact it has already began!

P.S. Don't tell the BBC!

How much do you think the CD will cost?

Stu

Good question! Does anyone know? And will everyone be getting it? I know I will.

I wouldnt think the cd would cost that much cause they do of course want people to buy it.

Doesn't stop music companies ripping you off to the sum of 15-16GBP now does it?

I've returned (only briefly)

I don't think that there will be any stuff on the BBC World CD that we haven't heard before. The beeb should release all of its soundtracks on CD - especially the Balloon music, and some of the wonderful soundtracks to the BBC America identity symbols.

So its nearly October, and does anyone know any news about the CD?

Well I certainly havn't heard anything yet:(

BBCWORLD.COM hasn't said anything either about it, it only says they are planning on releasing a CD for the beginning of October!

I think one of us should contact the BBC and find out what's going on!

Hmm, i'm sure they will load some idents onto it, maybe some interactive features for the PC.

BBC Ident Maker!!

All ive heard is that there will be the breakfiller vamp and a remix of it but im sure they will put something else on there but i know what.
