I've been having a listen to Gaydar or more specifically their on-air station sound and I'd say that there's nothing too special on there to distinguish it from other stations.
The bed they use for news is one that used to be used on Smoke a couple of years ago and if I hear Mark Ronson's Coldplay cover being used as a bed again I'll be really irritated.
Seriously though, for our station in the Advanced Radio module one of the priorities will be to make use of a female voice for G-Radio's branding although that doesn't mean a male one is totally out of the question. I'm just not sure of what sort of things we'd use as straplines but I am certain that the production and music beds certainly won't be dance orientated which is what Gaydar seems heavilly reliant on.
At the same time however I don't want it to be too bland which is what I thought most of last year's Advanced Project was in places, and keep things uptempo.
As I also have a role as a desk-op it will be particularly useful as I'll be making tools to work with practically.
A lot of work's going to be taking place over the next few days definitely although it will be built upon as things progress with suggestions from various members of the team.
