Geeky I know, but... Does anyone know what the 4 screens on the DJ desk actually do?

I'm guessing, one's for the jingles, one for text and emails, one playout/music and another..

I've noticed on the webcams for daytime shows it's quite common for one of the end monitors to be on screensaver or locked, but "interactive" shows like Request or Chart, Reggie's using all 4.

No comment to being a geek :-)

Yep, 1 is a normal PC screen, 1 is the 'Cartwall' - Where the jingles/beds/vox/sounds come from:

can that not be seen on the big LCD screens on the wall.

I am assuming one is a normal PC screen for internet use as mentioned above, one for texts, one for playout and not sure about the 4th

the lcd screen doesn't seem to show that... it's either of their own studio, perhaps like a mirror to see what the others are doing, or as a normal tv...

Screen 1 (Left) - Emails, texts and general internet.

Screen 2 - VCS Cartwall - for simple things like beds, clips and SFX and sometimes IDs but not very often.

Screen 3 - VCS Playlist - this is the playlist, it includes all the music and IDs, generally its always in auto and the DJs don't do much with it :)

Screen 4 - VCS Tracking - This is where they can edit audio and seque the songs and IDs together from the playlist on screen 3 - Producers will do most of this though from somewhere else - Its also a normal PC too for whatever they want (I think).

Have fun geeks!

Are you sure about this? I'm think they still press the play buttons themselves rather than letting the system do it...

Yes. 100%.

Moyles is the only one that does it himself (or his producers).

People like scott mills/fearne cotton use software to put IDs/Adverts/Music together, but on Moyles' show a producer (usually Aled) presses play on the records.

The producer has a computer on the other side of the studio, and they can drag audio files in and out of the playlist screen.

Is this video available anywhere else? I can't see it being outside of the UK. Can someone cap it?

Use a proxy. It's the same problem I have. It takes loads of time, but as we're all geeks, it shouldn't be a big thing... ;)

(but if anyone can make it possible for us poor international listeners to watch it, I won't mind!)

Most of the UK proxies which I have tried remove flash :l

Oh well!

You would think when you broadcast on Sirius in CANADA and the UNITED STATES that we would be open to viewing content. Oh well...

      Less so with 5 Live. But with Nihal, Nicky Campbell and Mark Chapman get what you are saying.6 Music does have that with Huw Stephens, Mary Anne Hobbs, Gilles Peterson, Marc Riley and Mark Radcliffe

      Agreed, Martha seems to quietly taken over as host of the Tuesday Bass and Big Beats show that Annie Nightingale did would be good to have some promotion to be done for her show. Agreed with this on bank holidays on a Radio 1 dance day inpaticular would be quite good to have Sarah Storey, Jaguar, Jeremiah Asiamah, Charlie Tee and Martha presenting. I always felt that in Christmas and New Year previously having Victoria Jane to do a Future Soul take over playlist.

      To be fair to him, this week and next week he’s on his podcast tour which was arranged well before he started on R1. After that I would guess he’ll start being on everyday?

      It’s Jamie’s dream of a lifetime to be a full time Radio 1 presenter apparently, but he can only do it 2 or 3 days a week.

      Radio 1 generation meaning??  Today's 10-30 yr-olds? I doubt it. They'll still know Pete Tong though, because he is rhyming slang!

      There was a time when everyone knew Zane Lowe or Annie Mac or Judge Jules or Dave Pearce or Annie Nightingale. Does the Radio 1 generation know the current bunch?

      Would be nice to give more presence to the specialist shows over bank holidays. Surely the best way to promote new music credentials over anthems? As much as I accept it's very popular.

      Peak radio 1 ! I agree with Bluestraw there was huge presence by specialist presenters then , certainly something I think radio1 could do more of now. Remember the takeover where specialist DJs would swap into main shows for a week? Or do we recall In New DJs We Trust, the competition on Chris moyles show where the winner would get a DJ set at radio 1s Ibiza weekend, and that is how Danny Howard’s radio career starters

      Yeah. He started on R1 in the late 90's when they used do the 'Sessions in the Nations' where they used to split for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. He then moved to daytimes, firstly on weekends in 2003 then they replaced Mark & Lard on the mid afternoon slot in 2004.  Then he moved to late evenings as a specialist DJ.

      Thanks for sharing that - I don't think I've seen it before. Didn't realise that Colin Murray off of Countdown and R5L used to be on R1! Several other current R2/R5L/R6M names there too.

      Where do we think Radio 2 in the Park will be this year? Personally I'm thinking Swindon after Scott's clue of it having many roundabouts and since Big Weekend is at Luton I can't imagine they'd go to Milton Keynes.

      Yeah, I feel like they need a big push on Jack to cement him in his new position. But it shouldn't just be Jack, you've got Sian and Alyx for instance, who are relatively new faces.

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      By AndyK77 · Posted

      Now in it's third week, the new Capital Breakfast Show seems to be settling down well and there are more of the informal, random Jordan topics appearing.  Though it is clear he wants to be seen slightly differently. It really is a very decent listen.
