Description

The BBC is tendering for a radio studio set designer to help visualise six radio studios across the UK. Visualisation allows audio content to be recorded or seen live by the public. It offers audiences a further way to engage with audio content, historically unseen and simply heard on the radio.

Locations include Edinburgh, Newcastle, Southampton, Blackburn, Leeds and Stoke-on-Trent.

Music stations such as Radio 1 and Radio 2 now regularly capture visualised content from their programmes to share on social media and iPlayer to extend reach beyond linear and Sounds.

Visualisation allows audio content to be recorded or seen live by the public. It offers audiences a further way to engage with audio content, historically unseen and simply heard on the radio.

The overall project brings together technology, marketing and editorial to deliver an agreed design template. Locations have been chosen against a number of criteria, including audience size, sport reach, origination of shared programming and potential for audience growth.
