New Custom for Newstalk 1010 – Toronto
October 12th, 2009
As CFRB Newstalk 1010 is Toronto’s oldest broadcaster, Program Director Mike Bendixon was looking for a sound to maintain the heritage of the station while moving the sound forward. This was to be accomplished while eschewing a typical four-on-the-floor and electronic-leaning news package. Hmmmm… Who to call?
IQ composer Patrick Napper has just returned from Toronto and is proud to announce that our friends at Newstalk 1010 have begun airing our new bespoke News/Talk package and it’s sounding great on air! Here are a few pics of Patrick haunting the Newstalk 1010 offices in Midtown on St. Clair Avenue…

The package is comprised of 9 themes touching on the main topics needed for the News/Talk format: News, Traffic, Weather, Sports, Breaking News, Morning Drive, Afternoon Drive, Business and Entertainment.
Par usual with any IQ Beats package, each main theme is broken down and supplied with a bunch of mixouts to give editors and producers maximum flexibility with the package. Mixes found are: Fulls, Beds with 3 thinner versions, Front Stagers, two End Tags per theme, two detached logo versions per theme and a mix of drums-only alongside the same thing, but with effects. Plenty of tools to keep Newstalk 1010 sounding fresh and will-imaged for a long, long time to come.
Check out each of the demo, each main themes below or audition the entire package here at IQ Beats.com

We just got sent a funny piece of audio from PG of The Peter Gordon Breakfast Show on 96.4 Eagle Radio in Surrey and Hampshire, UK. It appears as if PG and fellow presenter Posh Al were talking about 16 September, or “Stay Away From Seattle Day” as it’s known outside the hometown of IQ Beats.
KUPL + new ownership = New jingles! Today Portland’s KUPL begins to air their very own version of our

Oh snap… Arno und die Morgencrew have commissioned IQ Beats yet again to craft a custom jingle package hot enough to go with their Hot AC playlist.
We here at IQ don’t do a whole lot of non-jingle related posts, but the passing of Michael Jackson has become an especially momentous event for us. Emotional even.
More, more, more. Package III is currently in development. We’ll keep you posted. Hear Fun Radio I and Fun Radio II
