Omrop Fryslân Ushered in the Season with Fresh Winter Jingles by Capital of Media

On Saint Nicholas Day, December 6, Friesland’s regional broadcaster, Omrop Fryslân, debuted a sparkling new collection of winter and Christmas jingles. This festive musical treat was created by Capital of Media, a creative studio based in Nijkerkerveen.

Omrop Fryslân had long sought to enrich its holiday jingle repertoire. Serendipitously, Capital of Media, unaware of this aspiration, presented a series of eight demo tracks that immediately resonated with the broadcaster. Radio coordinator Jan Dirk de Haan shared his enthusiasm:

“In collaboration with the composers and producers in Nijkerkerveen, we’ve created a fantastic winter package with a warm, cozy vibe. Each track is like a little song you simply can’t get out of your head.”

Recognizing the appeal of the jingles beyond the holiday season, Omrop Fryslân decided to create versatile general versions as well. These updated arrangements, featuring fresh instruments, vocals, and lyrics, will begin airing on January 1, 2025. Jingle producer Anthony Timmers explained:

“The core of the compositions remains the same, but the arrangement for the general jingles is completely different: new instruments, new vocal lines, and of course, new lyrics.”

Jan Dirk de Haan added:

“During the presentation to the DJ team, I asked if they could recognize the connection between the general jingles and the Christmas versions, but the arrangements are so different that the similarities aren’t noticeable.”

This innovative approach ensured that Omrop Fryslân listeners enjoyed the spirit of the season and beyond, all with a fresh and engaging auditory experience. Visit capitalofmedia.com
