The webcam thumbnails are now working again. The main webcams arn't though...

ok everyone - update from tech wiz Ben...the satellite link-up that we rely on for the cams is down at the moment. they've identified the problem (always a good start) and now they're working on it...
news update on cams - direct quote from tech wiz Ben "we're getting there slowly slowly"...which i think is a LOT better than "er...no idea", so i'm hopeful!

They are back online but the buffering has forced me to switch it off.

Zane Lowe currently on Decks Cam, Pete Tong on Beckycam.

Yeah, if they reply then your message shows up.

I got my first message on earlier this morning but not any of the others before. Its fair really, you should expect them to be moderated.

Watching red button now, don't like either Saturdays or Fightstar so just a case of waiting me thinks....

Is it me, or although seeing all the webcams is kinda cool, the fact it's all Radio 1 output audio it kinda makes it less exciting to watch the alternative cams for more than a few minutes or so. Hey look, cool lighting, lots of people there, hey look it's the side of the stage: and then it's back to BeckyCam as it's got the interactivity.

Though Decks Cam is very nice to see what the DJs are up to. I thought or a second the video was sped up with the speed Zane was doing stuff!

In fairness though, seeing all the stuff is very cool, and as the first year of live video streaming online you can't complain really. They're working hard to fight technical problems and get 7 video streams (incl composite view) working.

Though I would suggest it would have been nice to stream the 2 Red Button feeds as alternative cam options.

    • 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?
    • Looks like it's off to Preston! 
    • 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.
    • 29th April has updated to show Dan back as presenter but still Nels in for Alyx on Introducing Rock. 6th May schedule has updated to show that the Radio 1 Big Weekend Shows will now be the following: 6am-10am 10am-2pm 2pm-6pm 6pm-8pm Still no presenters listed.
    • 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.
    • 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.
