BBC Arabic TV & Radio Music 2008 - Dave Hewson

The 2008 launch of the BBC Arabic service had some amazing music, now it's been brought into line to match the rest of the BBC News branding this music is no longer used, but some of these promo beds are just to lovely not to share!

[@cresbery3304]

Arabic BBC tone is excellent and its much better then the other BBC countdown tunes. This has a extra ordinary music master piece. Greatly appreciated.

[@cresbery3304]

A Masterpiece of Music. Can be heard for even 1000 time and it motivates to listen again and again.

[@ELFOUAD]

The arabic tones give such a chill ❤

[@DevenitivelyMe]

LOVED the music. Its SO mystical and reminding of the Arab lands...and YET SO BBC !!! Hats off to the producers of the tune....and THANKS TellyBits for introducing BBC Theme aficionados like me to such an important masterpiece :-)

[@billspooks]

And a "Masterpiece it IS".

[@k2playpedroariel481]

@@billspooks Of course. But I think David Lowe's news themes beats the sh*t out of this! His BBC themes are more distinctive and dramatic than this. But these are so good too, I'm not saying if I hate it or not!

[@11abrar]

I never get tired of listening BBC Countdown/opening music...

[@ksafaisal93]

I miss this so much! Please bring it back BBC Arabi !

[@DonSucksTho98]

If the era continued, it'll always be the only BBC international channel with its most original theme other than the rest of the BBC channels.

Why are TV news themes such a nice thing to listen to?

[@joselinjaya7720]

True 😂

[@mtjoy747]

Because they make the effort, and they have the dosh, to make it sound brilliant

[@mtjoy747]

When the sound effect for War of the Worlds was needed, the ship unscrewing, the BBC found a pot, put it into a toilet bowl, (with water) and that's where the scraping sound came from...as spooky as the sound was...

[@mtjoy747]

So that you will feel addictively compelled to listen to the news, whether that actually helps you is another matter entirely - con them into listening, because the music's fantastic, and then they MIGHT believe the news, even it's manufactured.

[@DomeArmin]

The simple and real answer is, they need to get your attention, within a short time.

[@bahnvideo425]

Brilliant, just brilliant!

So, That's the Theme that I wanna Use in my News Program. In 2015, I Used that Jingle in the 2015 Gawain Hale Films Ident.

It's a real shame these themes only stuck around for a year

What's strange is 0:05 sounds like The Wheel's question music, another BBC show. And yet it was composed by 2 entirely different people.

[@jacetaneneko_vt]

looking back on this a year later why is this the comparison i chose to make wtaf i don't even think this now.

What font do you use? Thanks

[@k2playpedroariel481]

It is Gill Sans MT, used by the BBC since 1997 until year 2019. In 2019, the Reith font family replaces their old font in favor of the corporation's major rebranding.

[@milestailsprower4555]

Since 2019 Reith.
