Radio Jingle Innit

Judge Jules (Radio 1)

The third radio jingle I'm going to study is Judge Jules intro on BBC radio 1. The Jingle is almost integrated onto a previous Jingle. When the Jingle starts the listener is introduced to a sound of a horn from a car which lets the listener know that the show is about to start. The Jingle then goes on and there is a voice over talking about dance music and how its a Friday night. The jingle then has a techno and bass theme in the background which is very up beat and has a quick tempo to suggest that the music show is based on live drum and bass sort of genre. There is also hints of remixing and the noise of decks being scratched which gives the impression of a DJ which Judge jules is.

Radio Jingle Innit

Chris Moyles Show

The Chris Moyles show Jingle actually lasts for a staggering 3mins which is extremely long for a radio jingle. The radio jingle starts with a beep which sort of sections of the last section of a show and introduces a new one. The music beings with a very happy orchestral stringed theme to it with tinkling in the background which makes the listener feel relaxed and happy. Then a drum and acoustic guitar is introduced which makes the jingle a bit more up beat. Over the top of the drums and guitar is the singing that is almost welcoming the listeners without Chris Moyles having to do it. The singing over the Jingle is also amusing which makes it entertaining for the listener before Chris Moyles actually begins his show without talking.

Radio Jingle Innit

The Archers

The first radio jingle I'm going to investigate is the Archers Jingle. This s a British radio soap opera broadcasted on the BBC Radio 4. The jingle lasts for roughly around 25 seconds and mainly consists of an arrangement of orchestral instruments e.g. violins and cellos. The jingle itself has quite a quick tempo and a good rhythm to it. This ties in well with the country life of the radio soap opera that the jingle is trying to portray.
