Thanks for the replies!
d6jg, if I understand what you're saying, all BBC radio services will carry the same thing, cutting away from whatever program is in progress at about 23:59:30 to hear the Westminster chimes, then resuming regular programs after the final stroke of midnight and brief New Year's wishes. Is that right? So the only reason to choose one over all the others is which regular programming one prefers? I understand that, due to latency, the new year will be a few seconds old by the time we hear it ringing in. I'm okay with that. When I used to work at an NPR station, we carried the annual New Year's broadcast of live remotes from venues across the country. (It's all canned now.) The countdown to midnight was almost always off in every time zone. The latency of multiple satellite hops accounted for some of the delay, but not all of it! They were just very lax about time-keeping. Even with network latency, I think The Great Clock will probably be more accurate than those broadcasts. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ RobbH's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=67008 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109963 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
