Looks as thuogh they want a totally clean break from Moyles style when Grimmy takes over with no more special sung jingles just normal station jingles by the sound of it .. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment ... WEET194679

PS the new show wil be called 'The Radio One Breakfast Show with Nick Grimshaw'.. so again look s like new show will not be as personality led as Moyles show so Nick is going to be very limited in what he can say and do I think.Sounds to me like it's going to be heavily music led with m inimum speech just like the other daytime shows

What's the big deal?

It took you a full six minutes to reply to chrisjames. Well done.

[The Deadly]

I'm replying to the subject matter of his post he made not him posting something. I can't see why the lack of jingles on a new show is a huge deal. It's to be expected.

Maybe it's a slow news day at the BBC today.

[andy23]

Definately a slow news day, and one of the biggest non-news articles ever.

Of course they're going to change the jingles package, they're bound to want a complete change to what we have now so none of this is a surprise or really newsworthy IMO.

The jingles - which are written by Moyles together with jingle specialist Music 4 - sparked controversy after it emerged in 2006 the DJ was paid royalties every time he played them.

I might be in a minority here, but had no idea that this was the case.

Now it makes sense why he's SO proud of them, and bangs on about them so much when guests come in.

[The Deadly]

Yeah I didn't know that part of it either. When thinking about it though if Chris wrote the lyrics then I don't have any issue with that.

[Nicola_Red]

It seems obvious to me, cos he uses them on Quiz Night. If he didn't write that tune, he wouldn't have the rights to use it on a non-BBC production.

CJ has just proved that he is a worthy member of the forum!

[a-moron]

WHOOOAH THERE COWBOY!
One good post a worthy forum member does not make. *reads that line back, reads it again. Ah * it, it'll do.

I should know, I've been trying for an age.

If ol' CJ chips in with a quip or 2 like more often then he's more than welcome to play with my hairy brain.

[DarroM]

Considering the fact Deadly is the first one to reply to most chrisjames post, then that can't be to far-fetched!

[Travis Bickle]

chrisjames pisses himself laughing every time Deadly rises to the bait.

[DevilsDuck]

So do I!

Love you deadly

It seems obvious to me, cos he uses them on Quiz Night. If he didn't write that tune, he wouldn't have the rights to use it on a non-BBC production.

Music 4, Sandy's company, did the music. Chris and Dave write the lyrics for some of them. Music 4 is credited on Quiz Night. It sounds like the BBC pay for the jingles via PRS rather than a buy out deal, which is a standard way to do it.

The Moyles jingle package is outstanding, and really helps to make the show. A lot of that is down to Chris and how well he can use them - when Vernon or Scott play them and use the cuts in the wrong places it's very obvious. When Chris did those couple of shows for Greg and used the breakfast show beds they made even the weakest feature ("It's Ten To Two What You Gonna Do") sound big.

Of course this whole thing about Grimmy not having sung jingles being a huge shock is a load of bollocks - they come and go in and out of fashion - often based on what a station can afford at the time it needs a new package, particularly in local radio.

The cheesy song is massively tongue in cheek (you can hear the kind of thing that inspired it at http://www.bbc.co.uk/northyorkshire/rea ... y-song.ram) and nobody would really have expected Grimmy to continue with something like that - it's a very Moyles thing to do - but a mix of ID sweepers and sung jingles for features would have worked well.

To be honest I was surprised that Moyles got away with having jingles which were so different to the rest of the station for so long.

This dislike/hate for ChrisJames is greatly over the top. If you don't like his posts then don't comment. I on the other hand found this interesting.
