And that is no reflection on Scott as a professional, it's just an element of radio he wouldn't have delved into for some years. Specially since 1998 being at the BBC as they have teams doing all that background work for the shows and the presenter literally turns up and does a show. Even when I am voice tracking for Stations via software like Myriad anywhere or Playoutone Web VT, you still have to make changes, like adding music to the hour as it is short, and making sure everything flows, and the right songs are next to the right songs, for example if I have a song > sweeper > song > link > song and the song after the sweeper has a 30 sec intro but the song I am linking into doesn't I will swap the order about so I can use the one with the intro to talk into. At the BBC the producers will sort that kind of detail as the show runs. 

With Apps like Radio.co or citrus it is pretty easy to set one up these days to run in the cloud and upload music and jingles to it to rotate and then take it over live if you wanted to. I help run a station on radio.co which runs on music and jingles and pre recorded hour bloks of shows and uses alot of syndicated content as well to fill hours up. I would imagine he has a lot of music already in his storage from when he does DJ sets, but to run a sucessful online station you need a database of thousands of songs, I have over 23K songs on my hard drive at home, of varying genres and still haven't got "everything" but am able to produce 13 shows a week using it but you have to master your software and music rotations, with programmes like musicmaster or music1, which as a presenter on BBC I suspect Scott himself hasn't delved into production or programming for at least 20 years, because those stations will have teams doing it for you, you just come in and play the songs and do the links, where as to run a station you have to be programming, producing and all the rest. It is a never ending job, even for my own database I have to download each track (legally and paid) upload it to the database, categorise it, set the intro, extro and hook, and all that before scheduling the following weeks "logs" aka playlists for each day of the week. 

Thank you, me as well.. still in shock about it, I have gone back to Greg and bit of Jordan now.  Its a tragety for fans and the radio industry as a whole, and the tabloids are keeping on about it and will do until a new host is announced, then it will be all about "they only got this show because of..." and the new host will have to unpack and digest that they are only being promoted (saying promoted because I am working on the basis it will be Sara but could stand corrected by that statement) because of this incident, when Scott had potentially the same length ahead of him as say Chris Evans or Zoe.  I am still reeling and getting used to the fact he is not there, and just hope he is ok and being looked after. 

I would definitely listen. It’s hard to imagine what it might be like but I would be in support of it

Yes I would he could go down the YouTube route like Mike Graham has 

Would you listen to Scott creating his own station? A bit like The Howard Stern Show on Sirius? 

This is such a great post and sums up exactly how I am feeling at the moment
