Re: [backstage] Joost backend revealed

2007-05-30 Thread James Cridland

If anyone wants any Joost invites, please mail me privately -
[EMAIL PROTECTED] - and I'll get an invitin' when I'm next near wifi.

Which will be tomorrow, probably in Oslo airport.

Any Joost user gets unlimited invites, so no special favours with the Joost
lot need be procured.

I was going to ask the same thing myself, but rather than have this list
deluged with requests can those who have invites instead volunteer the fact
they have invites (and how many) to help maintain the signal-to-noise level
of this newsgroup?

Thanks,

Re: [backstage] BBC "Radio" 7

2007-05-30 Thread James Cridland

Here's my guess as to why the BBC dab services have changed...

Most people tune using the short-name - which have all now changed so they
work in sequence as you tune in. So you get BBC R1, BBC R1X, BBC R2, BBC R3,
BBC R4, BBC R5L, BBC R5SX, etc.

Because of the way the DAB names work (the short-names aren't broadcast
separately; just one character tells the radio which characters it should
display from the long names), you can't have "BBC R7" as a short name, but
"BBC7" as the long name.

I personally prefer it the new way.

I've no idea whether any of this is true, since I don't work for the BBC.

Last night I noticed my digital radio (The Bug) displayed "BBC Radio

like Radio 4 does. I investigated and found 6music had also changed -
BBC Radio 6 music.

Why is this? Obviously it's a radio broadcast - it's a digital
radio... BBC Radio 1 - 4 & Five Five I understand, as, broadcast on
traditional radio, have always been called this; 7 never has.

This is very off topic I know, but my favourite example of branding
comes from BBC London.  I don't know if they still do this, but
certainly for a time, they had jingles that proclaimed the station was
"BBC London 94.9 and BBC Radio London on digital".  I always loved the
decision that saw a station take two different names depending on their
broadcast medium :)




"On TV, on radio and online"

Ssh!

Maybe this is all because you can somehow magically receive the audio
streams from Freeview stations via your DAB radios as WELL as the digital
audio broadcasts, but we're not told how to discern between the two thus the
ostensibly unnecessary branding on the radio streams...

Maybe...

The BBC's local radio stations are run by a different department to the
network ones.  A decision made by one, doesn't necessarily affect the
other.

This is very off topic I know, but my favourite example of branding
comes from BBC London.  I don't know if they still do this, but

Ok then, congrats! I've just made my blog members-only, and everybody on
this list is auto-subscribed.


That'll be £5 please =) 



To be honest, I have neither the time, intention or the readership (... Or
the knowhow) to earn any serious from my writing. Only really do it for
fun... If I could ever get enough ad impressions from a small google ad to
cover my hosting costs, that'd be nice. Some of my friends run really big
sites that easily cover themselves for hosting costs, but I've never really
had that desire because the cost of upkeep time-wise is huge. I could
contribute to a larger site though if that'd make money, I'm all for
syndication :D
