  1. Rarely come on here, but spotted this thread and saw it as an opportunity to shamelessly punt for some more followers. Having said that, I think a large majority of you are already following me, after @misscorsham somehow set all the geeks loose on me. It was well scary.

    I'm @producerjacob

  2. .thats why in the presenters headphones there is a 1second delay from them talking to them hearing it.........Most presenters simply get used to it or flick to a desk feed during links.

    No idea where you've got this from... Also there might be a minuscule delay occasionally it will rarely be noticeable. All the presenters I know monitor straight off air.

    Switching to desk feed during links would defeat the object of wearing headphones to check the levels, because everything sounds different post-processing.

  3. I suppose it's often that they just don't have time (they've already got a fair amount to think about). I can see your point, but it makes sense when there's such a huge volume of interaction for the other people working on the show to sift through them and find the ones worth using.

    (I know for one specialist show, the producer prints out the usable text messages and re-writes them so they're in normal readable English and not text-speak).

  4. But when did that first become the Radio 1 'logo'. It just seemed to have started in the news and progressed to the chart before progressing to Radio 1's Big Weekend beds.

    There are hints of it in the first ever Chris Moyles jingles (which are also on the Music4 site).

    It's an adaptation of lots of other radio stations who use a logo to go with sung jingles (so the dur-dur-dur-durrr fits with Ra-di-o-One).

  5. You've got some good advice in this thread.

    I work in production at BBC radio, and the way I've got to this stage is by making friends, contacts and connections at radio stations.

    Email presenters and producers at your local radio stations, asking to come in for a visit. Doesn't sound much but once you're in the building you can start saying hello to people.

    Join the forums at mediauk.com - it's full of industry professionals and it'll help you get up to speed on what's happening in the industry. There's also a Demo Critiques section so you can get some feedback on your presentation.

    I hope that helps.
