'''''BBC Introducing''''' is the brand for new music programmes across the [[BBC]] radio stations, showcasing unsigned, self signed and other emerging musical talent primarily from the UK. Launched in 2007 the ''Introducing'' brand brings programming from across the BBC under a unified brand with each show retaining its own identity. ''Introducing'' has also been extended to the [[BBC]]'s stages at major festivals such as [[Glastonbury Festival|Glastonbury]]. ''Introducing'' shows can now be found on most [[BBC Radio]] stations from national to local. In 2010 ''BBC Introducing'' was awarded the best new platform to discover music at the BT Digital Music Awards.<ref>[http://www.btdma.com/winners.aspx ]{{dead link|date=August 2011}}</ref> In May 2011, BBC Introducing won the Gold award for Best Use of Multiplatform at the Sony Radio Academy Awards.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.radioawards.org/Nominees/index.cfm?nominees_year=2011&winners_award_group_id=4&winners_award_category_id=29 |title=The Sony Radio Academy Awards |publisher=Radioawards.org |date= |accessdate=2011-08-12}}</ref>

== History ==
The initial idea was to use the In New Music We Trust brand from [[BBC Radio 1]] although this was deemed unsuitable for many of the local shows.{{citation needed|date=September 2010}}  'Introducing' was ultimately selected as a brand that could be added to existing show names, or used as a signpost for features within programming.
