How long has ‘and on 88 to 91 FM’ featured in the TOTH sequence prior to today? I know they cut it out of most of the jingles a few years back in favour of pushing BBC Sounds, but it must be the first time in a very long time that no reference is made to it at all.
The new package is pretty weak IMO - the main logo just doesn’t have the same power behind it as the old one did. It used to always irritate me when presenters would crash the jingle before the news and now it’s baked in to the pre-recorded sequence! No logo at the start of the travel bed either, it just begins without fanfare and sounds very generic, and as posted above it’s a huge shame to lose that fantastic Jeremy Vine package.
