[cma-l] Station imaging

Thu Jan 15 13:18:05 GMT 2015

I think there is a great idea at the heart of this and perhaps we can find a way to deliver it which works for everyone.   How about we agree a common strapline and then we get some imaging made up with a common beginning and ending (the strapline) with space in the middle for each station to voice over their own id.  It might sound something like this:

“Live and local community radio ......... You’re listening to Wycombe Sound 87.9FM  ......... Community Radio Works”

It would give us all the opportunity to sing the same message but with a local voice – which is what listeners want.   We could get two or three styles done so that each station can pick the one which most fits their station sound.   It wouldn’t cost much to do.

Taking it further, how about something similar where we can insert testimonials from happy advertisers.

And if anyone wants a posh Buckinghamshire accent then I’m yer girl

Our nearest Station is about 10 miles away, the next one being over 15 miles away … so technically we don’t have any neighbours …. I think we get on with everyone though ??    I have always tried to get on with my ex commercial buddies, it is they who seem to have the problem with us, I certainly don’t have a problem with them.

We’re all on our own here ………..we’ve got a name change and new strapline coming in the spring-time     <><><><>    ‘’Billy No Mates FM’’  102.8 Community Radio for those sent to Coventry

We could get to something akin to this.

A modern RDS-equipped receiver interprets parts of your PI code to associate you with other similar stations.

This will allow a receiver tuned to your station to switch automatically to another CR station when its signal achieves a higher level than yours for a preset amount of time on a journey.

This may or may not be something you would like to consider - depending on how well you get on with your neighbours!

Dear All

I know it would never happen …. Well, I don’t think it would, but wouldn’t it be absolutely fantastic if we ALL had the same imaging. Obviously the wording in the sweepers / jingles / stabs etc would be different but the sound / music / style the same. You could drive anywhere in the Country and tune into the local Community Radio Station …. The most you here the ident you automatically know it is Community Radio.

At the end of the day, we are a fraternity, we are a family …………. I’d be up for it

Am I now off with the fairies heading for Noddyland or perhaps completely gone doolally ? …….. I am currently in a rocking chair sat on the front patio with a sock on my head, two knitting needles in my ears and a piece of straw hanging out of my mouth    J

Hi

Can anyone suggest a good imaging production company they have used in the past. I am aware of the 'usual suspects' so trying to find someone who is innovative and different?
