New BBC World Service audio identity

alright for a radio for younger people like GCAP media but the W/S it just didn't sound right at all!


Sorry but that's nonsensical.

GCap Media is not "a radio for younger people" - it's a group that as well owning some stations designed to appeal to teens, also owns Classic FM and the Gold network (former Classic Gold & Capital Gold networks).

That point aside, the World Service is presumably trying to avoid sounding like it's not for younger people. It needs to appeal to a broad age range and, presumably, this was part of the brief that led to the new sound.
