 The name "Our Tune" was decided by listeners who would often request a song that was described by them as "our tune".Each morning at around 11.00am, Bates would read out one of the stories while sentimental music played in the background.At first this would be any music of the genre that Bates could find, but after he played Nino Rota's theme to Franco Zeffirelli's 1968 film "Romeo and Juliet" this became the official music of "Our Tune".
