Got the taste for ReelWorld Jingles? Help yourself to another Scoop!
After last year’s new ReelWorld jingle package, France’s Radio Scoop this month welcomed another 10 custom themes to their on air sound.
Having already catered to the tastes and playlists of European programmers with the original package, the 10 theme Radio Scoop 2 update builds upon the foundation for a more dynamic sound — incorporating pop rock and softer melodies into the production.
Radio Scoop’s Director of Music and Programming Laurent Ripoll is happy – “Working with Reelworld is always a pleasure! To evolve our sound I wanted something more organic, more pop driven. We’re playing tunes like Lorde, Katy Perry, Beyonce and Ellie Goulding which are less about upbeat dance music.
It was like a big slap in the face when I heard the first instrumentals!
This package is strong and powerful – thank you ReelWorld once again.”
ReelWorld Europe’s Managing Director Anthony Gay: “Our team spent time getting inside the heads of the guys at Radio Scoop to make sure the jingles really nailed the sound they’re looking for.”
ReelWorld’s David Tartar has worked tirelessly over the past 12 months to help French stations meet their imaging needs and is delighted to hear more ReelWorld’s jingles on Scoop.
NRJ, Fun Radio, Radio FG, Totem, 100%, Sweet FM and Blackbox are amongst the other radio stations that ReelWorld work with in France.

Radio Yorkshire is a new digital station in the UK and they are proud to say they are using jingles from ReelWorld Europe.
The station offers a varied programming including regional news, music and sport.
I am a strong believer in sung jingles, the sort you hum long after you hear them.
“I am a strong believer in sung jingles, the sort you hum long after you hear them.
I have also been a keen follower of ReelWorld for many years so I was thrilled to get the chance to work with Ant and the team at MediaCityUK. From initial call to the end result, with lots of custom tweaks and feedback along the way, these guys just get it! They know how to help shape a brand through the strongest of sonic logos and the clearest of vocals.
I hope Radio Yorkshire will be known for many great things – and the jingle package will be up there towards the top of the list!”
– Rick Houghton, Director of Broadcasting at Radio Yorkshire.
Radio Yorkshire aside from streaming on the world wide web and on DAB also broadcasts with its unique TV studio along side video streaming.
The adapted package consists of ID themes taken from the popular Radio Norge and Radio Veronica jingle packages and it does not stop there because it also comes with a Radio Yorkshire audio logo infused custom sports and news bed.
“As a proud Yorkshireman myself it was a privilege to work with Rick and the team on the new package and I wish them all the best with their endeavours.”

One of Germany’s heritage radio brands, Charivari in Würzburg, has made a fresh start with an AC package from PURE Jingles.
Playing the best mix of classic & current hits, and delivering local news & events – that’s what Charivari in the German state of Bavaria is delivering to its 30-59 year-old target demographic every day. The AC station, established in the 1980s, is now reaching almost a quarter of the 450,000 households in its direct broadcast area, and is aiming even higher with an updated program schedule and a fresher on-air image. Subsequently, it was time for new jingles!
Character
“A jingle package should have the same as a radio personality – character and authenticity”, says program director Daniel Pesch (who is also the morning anchor on Charivari). “Not even the best-testing power rotation title on your playlist gets the amount of airplay as your jingles do. So they have to be appealing and memorable.” He’s often heard children sing along to the jingles of their hometown station. “That’s a great opportunity for every station. It positions us in the listener’s mind, and it is super important for how the audience perceives us.”
Bridge
Pesch had a clear vision of how the new Charivari should sound. “I want to build a bridge between our loyal listeners and our new friends – sounding catchy and modern, without being too young and wild. During the recording session I noticed how PURE Jingles worked on every nuance, until it would seamlessly fit our brand. Last, but not least, it was a lot of fun to work with their creative team on this package. It just occurred to me that I’ve been listening to the jingles for several weeks in a row now, and every time again I enjoy them just as much as the first time!”

Ireland’s 2fm has already undergone some major programming changes this year and now they have a new on air sound courtesy of the team at ReelWorld Europe.
The jingle package is made up of branded musical themes and ID’s and swaps out sung vocals for a new sonic logo built around the station voice over. The contemporary instrumentation provides a platform for the personalities to shine.
Head of 2fm Dan Healy said : “We’ve made a lot of changes to update listener’s perceptions of 2fm and better engage our target audience. The on air branding is a crucial part of that process and the team at ReelWorld have delivered a contemporary sound that matches our audience aspirations.”
Recent changes at the station include Westlife singer Nicky Byrne taking over daytimes as well as a string of new specialist shows.
Lisa Dignam is the Creative Audio Production Co-ordinator at RTE: “The jingles are already getting a great reaction – it was what we needed to make the station sound stand out.”
As well as custom news and utility beds, the jingles are based on the musical themes of ReelWorld’s new 103.5 KTU package, which the company have just finished for the iconic New York radio station.
Anthony Gay, ReelWorld’s European MD, said: “Some people in the industry have talked about jingles being dead. Let me clarify that they’re alive and well. Like everything in life jingles have evolved in new directions and what we’ve created for 2fm is a great example of strong sonic branding.”
RTE 2fm reaches over 800,000 listeners in Ireland every week.
Anthony Gay added: “2fm is a huge station with a lot of heritage and we’re proud to be part of their journey.”
