Holte End Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 4 hours ago, WKRP said: Why on earth is Ewan Gawne, the BBC Local Democracy Reporter, doing an interview with Brindley about Manx Radio 2020 TT output? That surely can not be in the remit of the position. Are they allowed to do TT this year, as I didn't hear they had won the contract for boardcasting TT. Also will they have to pay for using the TT brand to attract Listeners. £75 a pop is it not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donald Trumps Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Would be good if they broadcast some of the classic races from yesteryear for TT 2020 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WKRP Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Seems strange that Manx Radio is not taking the Friday Government press conference on any of their broadcast channels, only on-line. It seems to be a thing that the public service broadcaster should be doing for those who don't have internet services. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gettafa Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 (edited) Manx Radio Programme Controller, Alex. always seems to appear irritated that the press conference and public briefings eats in to his show. "Shove the question onto AM don't encroach on me, me, me and my fab show" sort of thing. He was certainly dischuffed that first time it was delayed for a couple of hours (due to Tynwald). He didn't know why it was delayed at first, and obviously was unaware that Tywald was on (eh? what's Tynwald?) His life clearly pays little attention to all that boring Tynwald and stuff like that* Which is ok, I have no problem with that. But he is the Programme Controller at Manx Radio. Hence Ben's Banger and other such hits in place of Morning Mandate. * except of course when there is £3million getting handed out Edited May 8, 2020 by gettafa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be, what it being a bank holiday today, they have pre-recorded what they are playing all day, pretending they are indeed live. They have done it many times before.

They have done it many times before. Manx Radio of course pre-records certain programmes. However it does very little 'voice tracking*' compared to most other commercial radio stations these days. Perhaps you'd like to elucidate on which programmes are currently voice tracked? * Where a freelance presenter sits in a rabbit hutch in Slough or wherever and records just the voice links between songs. The playout computer tells him what the links are, what time in the show it will be and how long he should speak. I think the computer then assembles the show and plays it out 'as for live'. I've never used it so don't know exactly how it works but it means stations need only pay the presenter for a few minutes rather than a few hours. I expect the same presenter can voice track shows for numerous different stations in a day. You can tell a voice tracked show because they aren't able to react to listeners, so no live callers, instant competitions or requests.

So you and your co-host David Quirk have never tried the pre-recorded shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
