BBC Interval Signal?
 

The BBC World Service uses a short bit of classical music before they do
the news at the top of the hour.

Can anyone tell me what the title of the full selection is?

Thanks,
Lee Smith

You're quite welcome. You might want to do a Google on the tune and
discover it's history.

As an aside to your original question, the BBC for certain broadcasts
uses the 'Bow Bells' as an interval signal.

The South America service had an interesting one that was different than
that one.

Most likely 'Bow Bells'...

At one time the BBC used the Morse 'V' as an interval signal played on a tonic
scale. I have not heard that for a long time.

Does anyone know if it is still in use for any broadcasts?

I feel certain I've heard that at least once since I got back to listening to
SW 1-1/2 years ago. It was C-E-g-C, wasn't it? (I think I used the correct
notation. The g is below the middle C.)

Here ya go... I haven't checked them out yet, but WOW!
