No late submissions will be accepted About 6 Music: For music lovers – with a curious spirit BBC Radio 6 Music is a radio station for music lovers with a curious spirit. We shine a light, lend an ear and give platform to music beyond the mainstream. We are a highly distinctive network, playing and celebrating a breadth of artists and music across eras and genres. Network Strategy BBC Radio 6 Music is seeking to grow its audience, profile and reach of the network amongst 25-44 age group. We want to build an evolved and representative schedule defined by a curious spirit that connects us with new audiences. We aim to deepen and broaden the music we play and stories we tell on air, and on demand, in partnership with BBC Sounds. 1. The Opportunity Tom Ravenscroft, Friday 2100-0000, from London Presented by Tom Ravenscroft, this Friday night show and is a unique and eclectic listen which showcases the presenter’s passion for underground music. It should appeal to the core 6 Music listener while also providing an entry point for younger audiences, and should be designed for both a live linear listening experience and to listen back in Sounds. The programme’s presentation should be informative, upbeat, and inclusive. 5 of 22 BBC Radio Popular Music Networks - CONFIDENTIAL 2. Programme Content Tom Ravenscroft’s programme features brand new exclusive guest mixes that should appeal to the musically curious – reaching those audiences who have not yet discovered 6 Music. 3. Music Policy Programmed by the presenter, this show curates a wide range of newly discovered music with a rhythmic, Friday night feel. 4. Diversity and Inclusion 6 Music wants to reflect the diversity of the UK and the network are looking for new approaches to evolve listener engagement – which will broaden the appeal of the show to new audiences. We are interested to hear your inclusive content ideas and how they might be expressed across the music played, stories told and scenes explored. You may wish to consider how this show might contribute to the expanded 50:50 Diversity initiative (See Appendix 2). 5. Success Measures Growing live listener numbers in that slot - as measured by RAJAR – and on demand figures in Sounds. The show is designed to appeal to the musically adventurous who trust Tom to take them on an upbeat journey of discovery. We welcome ideas that help to further showcase Tom’s ability to broaden the listeners’ musical horizons – as well as his passion for shining a spotlight on underground artists. He is often the first to play acts who go on to become culturally significant and more widely critically acclaimed – we welcome suggestions on how to promote this curation in the digital space. The show should be navigable and promotable across the network, in Sounds and on socials, and contain moments that highlight appropriate content from other 6 Music shows. 6. Social Media / Digital/Extra deliverables We require the following for inclusion in BBC Sounds and for Network Digital Support (filming, photography, social assets): • Accurate and compelling programme titles and descriptions ahead of TX, when programme content

  • BBC Four Programme Information
    SOUND OF CINEMA: THE MUSIC THAT MADE THE MOVIES BBC Four Programme Information Neil Brand presenter and composer said, “It's so fantastic that the BBC, the biggest producer of music content, is showing how music works for films this autumn with Sound of Cinema. Film scores demand an extraordinary degree of both musicianship and dramatic understanding on the part of their composers. Whilst creating potent, original music to synchronise exactly with the images, composers are also making that music as discreet, accessible and communicative as possible, so that it can speak to each and every one of us. Film music demands the highest standards of its composers, the insight to 'see' what is needed and come up with something new and original. With my series and the other content across the BBC’s Sound of Cinema season I hope that people will hear more in their movies than they ever thought possible.” Part 1: The Big Score In the first episode of a new series celebrating film music for BBC Four as part of a wider Sound of Cinema Season on the BBC, Neil Brand explores how the classic orchestral film score emerged and why it’s still going strong today. Neil begins by analysing John Barry's title music for the 1965 thriller The Ipcress File. Demonstrating how Barry incorporated the sounds of east European instruments and even a coffee grinder to capture a down at heel Cold War feel, Neil highlights how a great composer can add a whole new dimension to film. Music has been inextricably linked with cinema even since the days of the "silent era", when movie houses employed accompanists ranging from pianists to small orchestras.

  • Is Rock Music in Decline? a Business Perspective
    Jose Dailos Cabrera Laasanen Is Rock Music in Decline? A Business Perspective Helsinki Metropolia University of Applied Sciences Bachelor of Business Administration International Business and Logistics 1405484 22nd March 2018 Abstract Author(s) Jose Dailos Cabrera Laasanen Title Is Rock Music in Decline? A Business Perspective Number of Pages 45 Date 22.03.2018 Degree Bachelor of Business Administration Degree Programme International Business and Logistics Instructor(s) Michael Keaney, Senior Lecturer Rock music has great importance in the recent history of human kind, and it is interesting to understand the reasons of its de- cline, if it actually exists. Its legacy will never disappear, and it will always be a great influence for new artists but is important to find out the reasons why it has become what it is in now, and what is the expected future for the genre. This project is going to be focused on the analysis of some im- portant business aspects related with rock music and its de- cline, if exists. The collapse of Gibson guitars will be analyzed, because if rock music is in decline, then the collapse of Gibson is a good evidence of this. Also, the performance of independ- ent and major record labels through history will be analyzed to understand better the health state of the genre. The same with music festivals that today seem to be increasing their popularity at the expense of smaller types of live-music events.

  • Consultation on the Devolution of Broadcasting Culture, Welsh Language and Communications Committee January 2020
    Cynulliad Cenedlaethol Cymru / National Assembly for Wales Pwyllgor Diwylliant, y Gymraeg a Chyfathrebu / Culture, Welsh Language and Communications Committee Datganoli Darlledu / Devolution of Broadcasting CWLC DoB23 Ymateb gan BBC / Response from BBC Consultation on the Devolution of Broadcasting Culture, Welsh Language and Communications Committee January 2020 Cynulliad Cenedlaethol Cymru / National Assembly for Wales Pwyllgor Diwylliant, y Gymraeg a Chyfathrebu / Culture, Welsh Language and Communications Committee Datganoli Darlledu / Devolution of Broadcasting CWLC DoB23 Ymateb gan BBC / Response from BBC 1. Introduction The BBC has been a cornerstone of Welsh life since the first broadcast in Wales nearly a century ago and BBC Wales is the country’s principal public service broadcaster. The Royal Charter is the constitutional basis for the BBC. It sets out the BBC’s Aims, Mission and Public Purposes. The Charter also outlines the Corporation’s governance and regulatory arrangements, including the role and composition of the BBC Board. The current Charter began on 1 January 2017 and ends on 31 December 2027. The BBC will not offer any view on the advisability - or otherwise - of devolving broadcasting since to do so would risk undermining the BBC’s commitment to impartiality on what is, clearly, a matter of public significance and ongoing political debate. However, to allow an informed debate to be conducted by the Committee, we believe it is valuable to set out some facts and figures about the BBC in Wales and to provide consistent data and a shared resource of information for interested parties. The information within this document relates to 2018/19, the period of the most recent BBC Annual Report & Accounts.
