If you were wondering why the webcams were zoomed in, well here's why... just like Scott's show they've recorded Chris' show and put the highlights online.

A nice idea, but shame it wasn't something a bit more original than a video of 'Aled's electric shock game'. A little too Scott Mills for my liking which is what I feared... Scott's show is all about these visual gags, Chris' isn't.

I don't think I like it. It's too much like Scott's TV show and video material. Chris is more spontaneous, and his show should be branching out elsewhere. Scott's TV show worked because he had all of these prepared features to put out for video and it suits his radio show, Chris isn't about that. It looks like they've tried too hard.

Highlights of the highlights?!

As in, the video on the website was about five minutes longer.

I'm watching them now. I love seeing their expressions to things that they do, like Aled jumping up and down while holding the electric shocker.

Yes, it's good for a little while, but I don't think I'd like it permanently actually.

I've posted this on another forum, but this needs a ton of work. I'm too used to the quality of Howard Stern's TV show and this just comes off as so weak in comparison. It's emphasised more with the lack of natural camera presence from everyone bar Dom, who himself is annoying due to his NONSTOP looking at the screen to see himself. Everyone else seem to have forgotten that the point of seeing radio visually (which in effect just makes it a TV show) is that you can no longer get away with the "theatre of the mind" mantra. If your voice sounds excited, your face has to show it too. Chris, Dave and Carrie don't understand this, apparently.

But I rant too much.

What you have to remember is, your audience that are watching these videos are going to be considerably less than your radio audience. You can't just stop mid-link to smile at the camera or mess with the radio format to please the video format. I'm not sure how Howard Stern does his stuff, but Scott's show seemed to work when it was on BBC Three. He wasn't always looking at the camera, but there were visual gags to keep the viewer happy.

Maybe I'm getting the complete wrong idea, but I didn't think the idea of this was to make it a TV show, it's to show people what actually happens during the radio show. If everyone started acting up for the cameras, it wouldn't be natural, and would almost defeat the point of the cameras being there.

I never said they should "play to the camera". In fact, that's the worst thing they can do because that makes it a vanity project. But the point of the video, as far as I'm aware, is to provide an advancement to the experience of the show and at least in my personal opinion (and nothing more), seeing dull reactions with upbeat voices ruins the show. When you listen, you develop a certain imagery and they don't act anything like how they sound, which renders the entire point of being visual pointless because it only takes away instead of adding. There's a difference between being natural and being bored.

I didn't even like the Scott Mills show that much (though it certainly wasn't bad), but at least, as said, a lot of their content is quite visual and they played it up to the cameras without playing it up, if that makes sense. They were excited, smiley and natural without constantly staring at or mentioning the cameras and staring at the screens at themselves so that it took over from the radio content. It's really hard to explain what my problem with the Moyles experiment is in a few sentences without confusing anyone, but I just think that they, at least in the early going, put too much emphasis on the cameras without putting any emphasis on showing real emotion. I also don't like the compact studio and camera angles, but that's just aesthetic.

For reference, go to Youtube and search "paul mccartney stern" - second video down. Notice they don't act to the cameras either, but develop content that works for both mediums in entertaining ways.

Wasnt the whole point of the video streams to show another element of the show and show the listener/viewer what goes on in the studio which means showing what everyone is doing to put the show in the air. In the Moyles stream all they did was show everyones faces just talking and during a record put up random blurred pictures. this was similar with Scotts BBC3 thing however the normal webcams were used more. For me the est. 1967 day streams were better becuase at least you werent sat with a close up shot, watching Coxy stuff her self with cheese and onion crisps (which she was doing) because they were using the normal webcams. i want more use of the webcams to show everything.

      Arielle Free's wedding

      Unless people can provide a source for this information then it should be treated as false.   Why would Jordan sign a contract with the BBC in the autumn when he agreed a deal with Global?  He could have left in August and not had to deal with the BBC.  Vick who doesn't really like Global why would she recommend him to go there and then warn him in her post to be careful?   It's been whispered from October that Roman was thinking of going.  Roman and Jordan have the same management team.  Why would they put Jordan in a place where he would have to battle with the BBC.  They could have agreed a deal with Global for Jordan in the summer.  They might have had to pay first couple months but they would do they to secure him.  If they had known about Roman wanting to leave they could have paid Roman off to get Jordan on air quicker.  Global would also not had legal around BBC contract to deal with and would not have had to pay the BBC to release Jordan.  None of what people say makes sense and if it did happen the way people say then BBC are not the stupid ones.  It really is not a good look to be talking with Global for 6 months, to then sign a contract with a the BBC, continue to talk to Global behind BBC's back after signing and then couple of months later want to leave and to throw a hissy fit as the BBC are not giving you what you want when you want it. That not a good light for Jordan or his management.

      Wow, surprised he signed a new contract in September but it says a lot about Jordan that he continued to a very high standard throughout last summer/autumn if this was all going on in the background.

      They knew Roman wanted to leave early last year but wasn't officially announced but he gave them time to sort replacement. Found and offered Jordan a deal in June or July and needed time to get Jordan out of Contract at bbc and roman to do notice  Jordan had dinner with Katie Vick and Arielle to ask advice and all said he should go.

      And they told Radio 4’s Feedback that it was an ‘experiment’ to ‘look at the best way to serve young listeners’ but reaffirmed that 280 hours commitment.

      I doubt he wanted to go to Global if a slot before he found out kemp was leaving.

      From what he's saying on the Pod he's been trying to get out of r1 for a while. Looks like he needed to wait for a show on global to be available. Jordan had bbq last summer with most of thr global execs and he's referenced the deal was in place then. Obviously the hold up was r1 being stubborn

      Indeed and Jordan was already friends with Sian Welby, Will Manning and Jimmy Hill.

      It's great to see those friendships still thriving. I think the days of Radio 1 DJs and Capital DJs being unable to co-exist is long over. You used to either be firmly BBC or commercial, and you don't get the sense that's the case anymore.

      Vick and Jordan together on Insta (with Ariel’s) in Ibiza. You do imagine Jordan’s ex colleagues have a very different attitude to him than management. Comments on Help! And very subtle comments on Capital Breakfast suggest Jordan was frustrated with Radio 1 / BBC management.

      I can name quite a few people on this forum who would be better presenters than Danny.

      His NYE shows were very good. Only thing I would say is he was shackled down slightly there. During his peak he played some great trance stuff in the late 90s and early 00s. So if he were to do a regular show that would have to feature more. Aside from I'd love to see him back.
