BBC WORLD MUSIC

All the networks are obliged to create tapes for such events.
I.e. taking coverage of Diana's death as an example, tapes for that were prepared a year or so in advanced, and updated every so often, for example, during the announcement of Diana's death on Sky, after it had been confirmed, they played the recording report, updated just a week before, by Simon McCoy, then royal correspondent, which lasted for over 10 mins.
All major networks have contingency plans should this sort of thing happen, for example, if the Queen were to die, you would get a live announcement and a bit of reation perhaps, and then the recorded report, which would last for say 10/15 mins, as they would not have had time to prepare a report in such a short space of time.

Oh yeah, the BBC WORLD major event music, its an extended version of the main theme but very mellow and low. I've got that, I'll have to add it to my collection on my site. The World Today (flags era) also had a special theme but it was just extended. I've got that too, I'll put them on the site when I have time.

GREAT! I've been looking for The World Today (flags) music for a very long time! And, do you have or can you get a hold of the advert filler for the flags era?

When will you be able to place the BBC World major event music on your site? Or would it be possible for you to e-mail it to me?

I haven't encoded it yet but i'll see what I can do for later tonight (Monday). I should be able to upload the ITN sounds on Monday night. I couldn't do them Sunday because time got away from me.

Anyway, remember, ITV, Channel 4 & Channel 5 news coming soon!

We shall all wait with baited breaths!

James, it's a great site. You have a great career infront of you building sites of that high class. I love it, and so does everyone else. (P.S. When you're rich, remember about us )

is the ison update still beimg planned for tonight?

Sadly, I had MORE computer problems! HONEST!

I will try and update the site ASAP but I'm not promising anything.

Sorry to all those that were waiting. I promise I will get cracking on encoding the sounds on Tuesday.

Is there any chance that you would be able to give us a time for completion?

Do these sounds include the BBC WORLD major events/deaths music that you said you will put on your site or will these come later.

How does this music actually sound. I mean does it sound like a variation on the BBC World News music or totally different as I've seen you asking for it before?
