BBC Radio 2 top of the hour beeps

[Dr Lobster*]

is it possible to download a clean copy of the beeps which radio two sometimes playout at the top of the hour before the news? or, if not, does anybody know the frequency and duration so i can try and make it myself?

I didn't think R2 used the pips anymore. You're more likely to hear them on BBC Radio 4.

I think they're most commonly known at the Radio 4 pips but all the BBC Radio stations use them occassionally.

Edit: agh, James "pip"ed me to the post.

they're not used very consistently, but i definately heard them in the car during the steve wright afternoon show last week, but searching for pips and radio 4 has turned up a few leads - thanks for that!

Ah, thank you very much Bail - is there not anything you haven't got stashed in your archives?

Archive.. ha... that was in a folder called My Junk.

On a related note, does anyone have the Radio 2 theme tune that follows the pips but before the newsreader?
