Media Research- Jingles

Jingle One- Funk and Sole Show

Even though I have never heard this radio show before, the opening jingle (even though it is very short) tells the listeners that it is a very light heartened radio show, which revolves around music. When the vice over begins you can hear techno sounds in the background which again suggests t hat it is a very modern radio station. As it is a music based radio show it instantly goes into a song after the voice after has finished, this gees on for around 2 minutes and can become very boring very quickly. Once the music drones out the presenter starts to speak, as this show is part of the bbc radio 6 music branch then it is likely to use the same introduction as the rest of the branch does. Overall this introduction is very simple, it explains what is going to take place after the intro music and then plays a song (most likely a popular one or a new resease) and then the presenter starts to talk, I like the format but feel that the length of the song after the intro is a bit boring and plain.

Jingle Two- Chris Moyles Show

Just by listening to the beginning of the show you can tell by the opening of the song that it is a morning radio show, the tune is very soft and laid back and is very easy to listen (or wake up to). The opening is extremely long with the typical 'take the piss' music song is very repititive which does make it slightly boring but once the sining spots Chris Moyles starts talking over the tune and the show begins. I feel that this intro is yet again too long until the presenters begin to start talking about their show, the introduction also does not mention what is going to happen throughout the show so no one really knows what is going to take place. Overall the introduction is very long and is soon to get annoying but once the music drones out and the presenters start speaking over the music the show gets alot more interesting.

Jingle Three- Scott Mills show

This intorduction intro is extremely high paced and the tempo is completly different to the two previous shows which I talked about, the introduction music being so high tempoed could show that this show is presented in the late afternoon when people are nearing the end of their work and cheers every one up. Then once the music stops or drones down a funny sounding voice (with a echoing effect) informs all the listenings that all the radio one recordings can be found on the bbc website. Then it goes straight into a song, so it takes at least 5 minutes for the presenter to talk about the show. once the music drones out a funky tune in the background and scott mills starts talking about the show and just general stuff. I beleive that this is a very good way of introducing show as he plays a very popular song and gets the listenings interested in the show, also the high tempo beginning of the introduction gets the radio listenings interested and they take notice of the show.
