and if this CR-wide imaging is well received then we'd look to be a part of it
too. Though for us I would suggest that the parts where a station name is
sung/said is still kept local and produced in-house as, in our case at least,
our volunteers have worked hard the past 12 months to redefine our station
sound and line up some great voices and a solid imaging package for us. I think
bumpers would sit a lot better for us than having it throughout.<br>

Then again, maybe all my guys would need to be swayed is a demo.<br>

If anyone wants an eee-by-gum then I'm your man LOL
maybe I could<br>

<br>

<br>
Anyway . good stuff Pippa ..you see, we're getting somewhere now. This is<br>
exactly what I meant. I'm happy to go with the flow and let a.n.other decide<br>
on the tunage, the strapline and the sweepers and stabs ......so that we get<br>
the same sound we get the same Company to do the lot. Here's where the<br>
tricky bit comes in .. well, it ain't tricky, the ones that want the<br>
business then bid for it and we get a good price whacked out amonst all the<br>
Stations.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
So the imagers are the same, all the Company has to do is sing or speak the<br>
Station name in the middle for each individual Station hey
presto ...<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
It possibly wouldn't work for those Stations broadcasting in other languages<br>
for obvious reasons as their sound can be completely different, but the<br>
channels that Broadcast in 100% English would definitely get away with it.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The nearest Stations to us are Pure / Moorlands / <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Cheshire</st1:place></st1:City> / BearTown / Cat<br>
etc trouble is, if it ends up mish mash then it's pointless. It's
kind of<br>
an all or nothing.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
However, as Pippa suggests I suppose there is a half way house where we all<br>
have the same couple of sweepers that slot in from time to time ...<br>

<br>
I think there is a great idea at the heart of this and perhaps we can find a<br>
way to deliver it which works for everyone. How about we agree a
common<br>
strapline and then we get some imaging made up with a common beginning and<br>
ending (the strapline) with space in the middle for each station to voice<br>
over their own id. It might sound something like this:<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
"Live and local community radio ......... You're listening to Wycombe
Sound<br>
87.9FM ......... Community Radio Works"<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
It would give us all the opportunity to sing the same message but with a<br>
local voice - which is what listeners want. We could get two or
three<br>
styles done so that each station can pick the one which most fits their<br>
station sound. It wouldn't cost much to do.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Taking it further, how about something similar where we can insert<br>
testimonials from happy advertisers.<br>

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

We're all on our own here .....we've got a name change and new strapline<br>
coming in the spring-time

We could get to something akin to this.<br>
<br>
A modern RDS-equipped receiver interprets parts of your PI code to associate<br>
you with other similar stations.<br>
<br>
This will allow a receiver tuned to your station to switch automatically to<br>
another CR station when its signal achieves a higher level than yours for a<br>
preset amount of time on a journey.<br>
<br>
This may or may not be something you would like to consider - depending on<br>
how well you get on with your neighbours!<br>

Dear All<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I know it would never happen .. Well, I don't think it would, but wouldn't<br>
it be absolutely fantastic if we ALL had the same imaging. Obviously the<br>
wording in the sweepers / jingles / stabs etc would be different but the<br>
sound / music / style the same. You could drive anywhere in the Country and<br>
tune into the local Community Radio Station .. The most you here the ident<br>
you automatically know it is Community Radio.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
At the end of the day, we are a fraternity, we are a family ..... I'd be up<br>
for it<br>
