In April 2021, BBC Radio 2 launched an updated suite of bespoke themes for The Zoe Ball Breakfast Show, produced by Wisebuddah.

The 4 new themes are a contemporary pop dance take on Zoe's fun jazz hands style and love of disco and swing. Featuring some of the nation's best session talent, the tracks are packed with live drums, horns, bass and guitars.

Additionally, to coincide with the launch of Claudia Winkleman’s Radio 2 programme, Wisebuddah also created two new themes for that show.

Austria’s No.1 radio station, Hitradio Ö3, have scaled up their partnership with London-based production company, Wisebuddah; commissioning them to refresh their main station sound and information output. 

Ö3 reaches over 2.5 million listeners per day (with a market share of almost 40% within their target audience of listeners aged 14-49), and the new package features 25 shotguns of varying styles and genres to resonate with the demographic, along with two new Chart Show IDs – with influences from Dua Lipa to The Black Keys.

The first phase of the project saw a new Information Suite hit the Austrian airwaves earlier in the year following a herculean orchestral session, uniquely recorded amid the backdrop of the Covid-19 pandemic restrictions. The session, with orchestral arrangement by the renowned Cliff Masterson (Oasis, Lionel Ritchie, Josh Groban), used the famous Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra - the ORF broadcaster’s official orchestra, and the only radio orchestra in Austria. The Suite features ten bespoke compositions, ranging from Breaking News to Elections. 
 
Heinz Donaubauer, Hitradio Ö3’s Head of Production, said: “Ö3 wanted to renew its news layout and was looking for the right company to work with on this project. In a competitive pitch Wisebuddah convinced us that they have the best ideas and approach to our new news layout.
 
In a time of fake news and misinformation it is very important to us that our listeners trust us and be ensured that the information we give them is based on facts and accurate without being manipulative. We also believe that the lack of trust in the news by classical media is a result of overly dramatic presentation and exaggeration. That is why we were looking for a news layout which helps focusing on the information and provides a calm and serious base for our news anchors to present the facts.
 
Because the production took place during the Coronavirus pandemic, we were facing several challenges. But with the help and expertise of Wisebuddah we achieved an excellent final product, that not only serves our needs but also sounds really good.
 
Since the launch of the new layout, we have received very positive feedback from our listeners, and I am quite confident that Ö3 will be using this layout for many years to come.”

Wisebuddah’s Managing Director, Phil Tozer, said: “When Heinz came to us with the brief for the new package, we knew it was going to be a special one to produce – orchestral elements, contemporary references, new vocal ideas – and it did not disappoint! 

Because of the unique circumstances, the new package has been over a year in the planning, and the time invested from all areas (from the musicians, the arrangement, the close collaboration from Heinz) means there are a lot of fond memories and love for this one. It’s great to hear it all come together and hit the airwaves.”

Wherever you are in the world, Reelworld is there to transform the face of radio station around the world. Including Indonesia, one of Asia's largest radio market.

Many radio stations in Indonesia, especially in developing cities such as Jakarta and Bandung started using jingles from Reelworld to refresh their station's image.

Even in Asia, Reelworld really does #makegreatradio.

I've compiled almost 15 minutes of radio stations in the Indonesian market produced by Reelworld dating as early as 2005 to today in this montage. This includes stations that had previously used those jingles and those who have changed their format or ceased broadcasting. 

This montage contains jingles from Reelworld's most popular packages (including Reelworld One CHR and AC, the KISS-FM series,  Mix 92.9 among others) as well as some packages used mostly by European radio stations (Bayern 3 '16, Radio 538 and NRK P1). 

Although I am aware more stations are using jingles from Reelworld across the country, some have renewed, some have started using newer ones. But I'm sure I will update this collection if I have collected more pieces of evidence.

Veronica’s heritage goes back to 1960 when it started as a pirate station. It quickly became the most popular station in the Netherlands and in the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s, the brand was a strong influencer. 
After some quiet yet turbulent years, the renegade spirit is back following the transfer of Rob Stenders (former NPO Radio 2) to the station where he started in the 1980’s: Veronica.
Aiming to be be the number one station for music lovers in The Netherlands. And since Dutch music lovers tend to be pop-rock oriented there is lots of quality pop and rock from the 60s till now going on (beyond the hits) whilst other genres will not be excluded. 

A breath of fresh air fills the airwaves with new jingles that stand out from the competition, reflect the mentality, empower the music and feature the Veronica sound logo. 
“In this package we decided to bring back adventure, character, passion, love and Veronica's renegade spirit.” – Maurice Verschuuren, SONIC SPRING

"Different, original, dynamic, with human warmth and still edgy...She's got class!" - Rob Stenders, Director Radio Veronica.

 “Awesome!! Edgy, cool and fresh at the same time. I love hearing the real guitar strings.

Ireland’s no.1 Commercial Music Station, TodayFM have rebranded their main station sound with a new Wisebuddah package.
 
The audio is grounded in contemporary music references and reflects a future facing pop sound Included in the package is a new sonic logo, 15 x Custom Main IDs and a new Information Elements suite. 

Alongside the new Wisebuddah package the station are broadcasting branding resources from across the family of Wisebuddah music companies; with imaging tools from IMGR Hot AC and library music from No Sheet Music. 
 
TodayFM Production and Imaging Manager, Lochlainn Harte, said: “As a creative myself I understand the delicacy of delivering constructive criticism and I honestly was blown away by the producers’ ability to take every idea on board and generate the sound that worked best for TodayFM. Not once were we made to feel like we were asking too much and as every step progressed the sound became even more alive and we just couldn’t get enough of it. While the whole project was all done remotely and the pandemic affected our ability to meet face to face and, the level of communication did not waver, and everyone was fully in the loop at every single stage. As one presenter said: “we’ve gone from a national station sound, to an international station sound!”. 

Everyone, from the street team all the way to the CEO, has stopped me to congratulate me on the sound but I’m humbly standing on the shoulder of radio jingle giants (with really great ears)! BFGs! The changeover to IMGR Hot AC and the use of No Sheet Music have just elevated the sound and also brought the level of sonic consistency across the whole brand, and I think every station in the country will be listening in with jealous ears.”
 
Wisebuddah’s Business Relations Manager, Dom Scott, added: “The team here at Wisebuddah were excited when the guys at TodayFM came to us asking for a major custom overhaul of their station sound. To top it off the guys at TodayFM were a real pleasure to work with, they had a clear vision for their rebrand and the feedback the package has received since its on-air launch across Ireland is a real credit to everyone involved in its production.”

REELWORLD CREATE NEW AUDIO IDENTITY FOR RTÉ RADIO 1

Ireland’s most listened to radio station, RTÉ Radio 1, has updated its brand sound with custom music from ReelWorld, performed by the RTÉ Concert Orchestra.

The national broadcaster set out to modernize the audio image of the station, with a focus on its continuity themes and top of hour sequence, united by a new sonic logo.

15 new compositions make up the package which combines contemporary and traditional music styles, with an authentic sense of the station’s character running throughout. The themes span genres including folk, pop, Americana, and traditional Irish.

RTÉ Radio 1 Deputy Editor, Penny Hart, said: "What a truly wonderful experience it has been, working on this collaborative project to align the radio station’s content offering and tone of voice through music. We’re so proud of our identity and to hear it shine through these beautiful compositions is a joy.”

Following a competitive tender process, RTÉ selected ReelWorld, based in MediaCityUK, to work closely with the broadcaster’s staff on this unique project.

The RTÉ Concert Orchestra recorded the themes at RTÉ Radio Centre’s Studio 1 under COVID guidelines, in separate sections and across multiple sessions with remote direction via video link between conductor Gavin Murphy and the ReelWorld team. Alongside the orchestra’s core sections of strings, woodwind, brass, and percussion, its members also played traditional instruments including the fiddle, tin whistle, Irish flute and concertina.

Anthony Gay, Managing Director of ReelWorld added: “This is ReelWorld’s third recent experience working with the orchestras of national broadcasters, and we are privileged to support RTÉ with their new sound. We’re thrilled with the results and it’s wonderful to hear the project now on air.”

Creative Audio Manager for RTÉ, Shane Freeman said: “The passion of everybody working on this project is what has made it so special, resulting in something that will stand the test of time and carry the audio brand of the station into the future.”

ReelWorld continues to partner with some of Europe’s biggest broadcasters, including a 2021 update for Heart UK, the country’s most listened to commercial radio network, and the Netherlands’ most listened to radio station, NPO Radio 2. Recently they have also produced a new brand sound for the Bloomberg Television Network.
