RE: [backstage] BBC "Radio" 7
Thanks for the partyline response, I suppose it kinda makes sense from a grouping perspective... As long as the DJs on stations like 6Music aren't made to say "BBC Radio 6 Music" (which would sound really stupid) then overall I'm happy with the changes. > -Original Message- > From: Jamie Tetlow [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 04 June 2007 10:57 > To: backstage@lists.bbc.co.uk > Subject: Re: [backstage] BBC "Radio" 7 > > Hi Gary, > > I'm not that close to the DAB side of things but I asked a > few questions for you and so here are some answers: > > "The main aim was to ensure all of our services are lumped > together on DAB radios.

This is very off topic I know, but my favourite example of branding comes from BBC London. I don't know if they still do this, but certainly for a time, they had jingles that proclaimed the station was "BBC London 94.9 and BBC Radio London on digital". I always loved the decision that saw a station take two different names depending on their broadcast medium :) "On TV, on radio and online" Ssh!

Maybe this is all because you can somehow magically receive the audio streams from Freeview stations via your DAB radios as WELL as the digital audio broadcasts, but we're not told how to discern between the two thus the ostensibly unnecessary branding on the radio streams...

The BBC's local radio stations are run by a different department to the network ones. A decision made by one, doesn't necessarily affect the other.

RE: [backstage] BBC "Radio" 7
I can't answer that, but I noticed that during the championship playoff final yesterday my digital radio (some Argos cheapo) displayed 5 live as: BBC Radio 5l I had to look twice at the lower case l on the end to work out what it was.

The shortcut also displayed as BBC R7, like Radio 4 does. I investigated and found 6music had also changed - BBC Radio 6 music. Why is this? Obviously it's a radio broadcast - it's a digital radio... BBC Radio 1 - 4 & Five Five I understand, as, broadcast on traditional radio, have always been called this; 7 never has. -- Gary Kirk - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
