The opening to the Chris Moyles Show is quite laid back and quiet. The lyrics to the jingle tell you that it is a morning radio show, and therefore the music fits in nicely with this, as the laid back feel to the jingle makes it easy to listen to, as well as indicating that the show will not be to fast-paced and loud, and will gently easy you into the morning. This particular jingle is very long, and the lyrics are almost satirical, this highlights that the show will be light-hearted, aiming to make the listeners laugh, and that it is not a serious show. The jingle is a bit too long, as it is almost a minute and a half long, and the tune is repetitive and can get boring. Overall I feel this jingle is reasonably good at getting the point across as it highlights the unseriousness nature of the show, as well as showing the listeners that the early morning radio show will not be too loud.

This opening to the Scott Mills show is very high paced and gives the impression that this show will me more high paced in its content. The intro shows that the show will be playing popular music, aimed at people coming home from work. The opening to this show makes people sit up and take notice of it as it is so high paced. The opening here is far different to that of the Chris Moyles show, as this show attempts to aim to people on their way home from work, the high tempo of this intro shows this as people are generally in a better mood having left work, and the listeners are more willing to listen to the fast paced radio show, as apposed to the morning show. This is a good intro to a radio show, as the listeners become interested, as well as appealing to those who are coming home after leaving work

The Zane Lowe Takeovers show is short, and get right to the point. The Sound FX show it to be a cool show, aimed at young people. The opening also gives infomation about the show, teling the listeners that special guests will be taking over the show. The short introduction to the show indicates that the show will be simple, and good music. This intro is good as it get straight to the point and tells the listeners what will be happening in the show in brief.
