Very strange... unless they've started the roll-out already, and Sussex and Surrey are the first. Having not heard their package, I don't know if it's the corporate one or not.

I wouldn't have thought so, the package uses a five-note jingle ('B-B-C Sus-sex'/'B-B-C Sur-rey') so I can't see 'BBC Merseyside' or 'BBC Coventry and Warwickshire' fitting into it somehow.


The BBC Tees package uses a four-note jingle (B-B-C Tees) but in theory you could just create 5 or 6 different jingle packages with a different number of notes and roll all the six-note ones out to the 3-syllable stations and so on...

What I heard had a distinct three-note logo for the TOTH sequence, presumably to represent 'B-B-C'. These things can always be re-worked though.

I remember the last time there was an attempt to introduce a generic BBC Local Radio imaging package, the implementation was decidedly haphazard. Some stations didn't use it for ages, others didn't use it at all. In fact Radio York started using it within a few days of Radio Leeds dropping it. I wonder if the same kind of thing is happening this time round.

Well, they might revert to BBC CWR.


That would still be more than 5 syllables/beats.

B B C C dub-ble you R

If you get my drift.

Yup which, in its new incarnation, was decidedly lacklustre. Definitely a missed opportunity.

Wasn't there rumour of a new Saturday night ident though? Although I would have thought that would have been seen tonight with Strictly and Merlin.

Did anybody see the ident leading into the One Show - was it new?

Featured a whole lot of people on bicycles and then moved to a circle of lights around the BBC One logo.
