BBC News Style :: Local Radio Jingles

for all you bbc regional radio listeners, if your station has BBC NEWS style Jingles, get a copy online for us all to hear.

I would do that but ain't got a clue on where to start!!!

How would I make an mp3 file from the radio??? http://web.ukonline.co.uk/tv.home/forum/emoticons/confused.gif

Connect a radio to the line-in socket of your computer and record it from there

Well, I would upload it but I haven't got a clue how to or where to.

You can hear BBC Radio Kent's very groovy generic BBC News style jingle at: http://www.bbc.co.uk/kent/realmedia/bulletins/kentnews.ram

that news theme is brill, anyone able to get mp3s from Radio kent and other corporate jingles, will get a shiney penny

That is excellent! Very upbeat and BBC News. Does every radio county have their own different version?

The secret world of BBC News music we havent ventured into yet

Am I the only one then that likes the BBC LDN 94.9 jingle? http://web.ukonline.co.uk/tv.home/forum/emoticons/confused.gif

No - they're very much in the minority. Some stations have some variation on the generic BBC Local Radio theme, while others, like Southern Counties Radio, have their own totally individual news theme and jingle package. (In fact, the news theme is the only decent part of the SCR package).

No, I like it too - although it's very similar to the BBC London News theme tune

I think the presenters like it as well - they seem to shut up a lot quicker, and let the news theme run a little longer without talking over it.

And Monday to Fridays, after the 7.00 news, BBC Radio Kent join the networked Evening Programme across the South. And so they join in on time, they play a different version of the news theme.

So click the link on a weekday evening at about 7.25, and keep listening for the end of the news - its great!
