Posted by Tez ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4805&BoardID=3 It's coming in September, so that means it's due really soon! Excited much?
Posted by DJ Paladinleeds ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4805&BoardID=3 Looking at the situation, I'm tempted to look for some radio catalogue forums (so I promote 1Radio on a catalogue, not an individual station because that would be stupid, even though some stations probably deserve it. *cough*theives*cough*). I am also tempted to see if my friends at college will get their colleges to advocate it within the college. So if that's the case, be on your BEST BEHAVIOUR! Because if we all act on our best behaviour with colleges, I'll even try and introduce it around my old school. I know I've already had one show tuned in by a whole ICT class (so that's 20 people!). The potential is there, we just need to figure out how to seize it.

Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4832&BoardID=3 just out of interest as we stand at 5.15 on friday the 27th we have 92 hours booked next week on a really quiet week!!! pmsl!
Posted by Spike Hammond ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4832&BoardID=3 So I was bored ok!! I decided to have a look around our UK internet stations, just to see if there were anything they were doing to drive listener-ship that we weren't.Instead I got drawn into some interesting forum reading. Interesting how one station admin/manager is stating that at 90 hours of live shows a week is leading the way. And no other internet has the same volume of live shows??? Maybe he hasn't heard of 1radio???? I would believe this as there are at least 4 other ex 1radio dj's doing shows on his site, so they obviously don't do there homework! So beware jealousy and BS is rife out there on the interweb. As Gaz mentioned in a previous thread. We have some amazing talent, now lets drive them listening figures up. Cause if the competition think they are doing well !! I beg to differ! I will continue my research and will report back if I find anything else to make you smile!! Spike 007
Posted by Spike Hammond ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4832&BoardID=3 Because of website problems I can only go by the figure I got from the shoutcast server which I peaked at 11 but can say i know I had 8 for most of the 2hrs 21 minutes. I always promote my shows on twitter and Facebook, if people enjoy your shows they return and recommend you but I did use YouTube to make a short promotional video, not brilliant but it was unscripted and done in 10 minutes lol. At the end of the day I do because I love it, I don't really care about numbers and the 'I'm better than you' ideology does nothing for me to be honest :)
Posted by DJ Ceejay ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4814&BoardID=3 to be honest will, a few "rouge listeners" have been tuning in, not real listeners, more proxy servers therefore they are not being counted as far as i am aware....
Posted by Garry Evans ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4814&BoardID=3 Were the stats that bad Garry? Not sure the data is too accurate. When I did my Saturday show (8-9am UK) the in-show data showed a peak of 16 listeners (my best yet!)yet I was credited for 7!???? Why? Not withstanding the issues you mention, but maybe the data this weekend was all wrong?
Posted by Will ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4814&BoardID=3 I think most people are still on holiday, the start of September is when it's all over in my experience. I will fully admit I don't promote as much as I should either mind. (however only having just started and 3 shows under my belt, I think I can be forgiven :-P) That could be a problem, if everyone does "their bit" it works well, if only the few do, things crumble?
Posted by Jonathan Syer ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4814&BoardID=3 Garry, I too had very poor figures. Not sure if it's the timing of the bank Holiday and the return to school....lots of folk in my area are taking holidays this week as the kids go back to school very shortly after the Bank Holiday. I do though feel we should be promoting outside of 1Radio and Facebook 'mates' I've started posting in a range of classic rock forums and pushing out more e-cards in a bid to widen the potential audience, happy to hear any other suggestions of how we can raise the profile.
Posted by Colin John ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4814&BoardID=3 I noticed we have had extreamly poor listening figures this weekend, now this could well be down to holidays etc, however most of the kids are back to school, and most holidays should be pretty much over. So whats the problem? I think that we as a station (ie DJ's) are not promoting the station enough, Now i will stand up and say that I am bad for not promoting my shows enough, so perhaps we took a new emphasis on this especially with the last bank holiday weekend nearly upon us. What idea's can people perhaps suggest?

Posted by Spike Hammond ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4762&BoardID=3 yes, you will still be rewarded but it will be on a monthy basis and will also be dependent whether or not the people following the link actually listened, how long they stayed and how many shows they actually listened to
Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4736&BoardID=3 as you know, the process for awarding credits has become more stringent. details at http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4736&BoardID=3 i've also decided to apply the same rule retrospectively to credits awarded in the last couple of months. this has been done to remove credits awarded for spuriously high listener counts and to reward those who would otherwise have benefitted from extra credits had it not been for the inflated listener numbers. in the next few days, you may see your credit change accordingly. if it decreases, its because you have previously benefitted from extra credits where the listener count was spurious. if it increases, its because you previously missed out on credits. this adjustment is a one-time action designed to level the playing field on listener counts and credit rewards.

Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4749&BoardID=3 oh ok! thanks. sound look s good system :) Do we get reward credits based on how many people use our referel link ?
Posted by Rhodders ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4736&BoardID=3 some people have been asking why it seems to take a while before they can takeover a slot. if you have already done a show or taken over an empty slot, there is a delay before you can take over again. this is to give other people a chance to take over. the delay increases with each takeover you do in a 24 hour period. this step is intended to increase variety and dissuade people from simply showing up at the top of every hour hoping someone will no show.
Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4335&BoardID=3 credits are still refunded when you do a show
Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4736&BoardID=3 couple of points/queries Do you still get a credit for doing a show? If so then this negates all my 2ndquestions. Could this new system mean that we could end up with a situation where only the die hard one radio DJs thus reducing the variety of the station? As it would be too hard for people who only have time to Dj once in a while to get credits.

Posted by DJ Ceejay ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4736&BoardID=3 Sounds like a fairer playing field, although if we're going long-term, make it yearly. That will also allow you to judge the loyal DJs from the short-burst DJs.

Posted by Spike Hammond ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4737&BoardID=3 Credit rewards are now being given on a monthly basis instead of weekly. The criteria for winning credits are also more stringent. Each DJ will be judged on a mix of - the number of listeners in their show - the time their listeners stay connected - how often their listeners interact in the shoutbox - how often their listeners return to the site - how often their listeners tune in to OTHER shows Put simply, it's no longer sufficient to simply bring a short burst "hit and run" listeners to receive credits. Instead, you will be judged on how many long-term listeners you recruit to the site over the course of a month.

The size of the name is proportional to the number of shows they have done. http://vakart.org.uk/download/1RadioDeejays.jpg
Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4708&BoardID=3 As everyone may be aware highest rated and most listened to shows are awarded extra credits each week. Most listened to shows means the DJ / Presenter has a good fan base or has put in a lot of effort to get listeners to the site. The ratings seem to cause some animosity, particularly amongst some of the younger DJ's / presenters, so I feel it may be an idea to scrap the awards for highest rated shows and give extra to the Most listened to shows or even add a fourth place award to DJ's / Presenters who bring the listeners in. Any thoughts on this?
Posted by DJ Ceejay ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4704&BoardID=3 There have been a couple of cases lately of childish bickering between a group of Dj's and this is being put in the public domain. I am 100% in agreement with Tim that people who engage in this sort of behaviour shouldn't be a part of the 1radio TEAM, and yes we should work as a team and help each other. A lot of problems are caused by nothing more than jealously, when some put in the effort and get really good listener figures and high ratings. It isn't difficult to get along with people or simply avoid or ignore people you can't get along with. Nothing is gained from either side when you show your dislike for someone in a public arena such as chat-rooms or shout-boxes. Sadly it isn't always young people that cause problems and my advice to these 'Adults' is GROW UP!

Posted by Lady T ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4694&BoardID=3 As a clarification, it IS possible to get higher ratings than the number of listeners. Because people come and go during the course of a show, it may be that you dont have more than 10 concurrent listeners. But over the hour, you can have many more than 10 people listenening - just not at the same time. If all rate, then your ratings are higher than the max number of listeners at one time. As a side note, I recently changed the rating system such that people have to be listening for a longer amount of time for their ratings to count. HINT - more than 15 minutes!

Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4620&BoardID=3 Last week saw International Reggae Day and I spent most of the day tuned in to the various shows. For me personally the whole day was a complete success with so many varied tunes being played and even some younger DJ's, without the knowledge of this Genre, took part and did a great job. Saturday saw the 4th of July celebration where we broadcast to troops in Afghanistan. This was broadcast both on 1radio and on Spike Hammond's JTV channel. Although the majority were on JTV we still had a good listener base here on 1radio and of course some 200 new people now know of our existence. Feedback from this event has been really positive and I think we should all say a huge THANKS to Spike for setting this up and letting us know about International reggae day. I for one am looking forward to more special events like this.

Posted by Tez ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4486&BoardID=3 if someone shows up for an event and mostly plays songs in the spirit of the event, then all is ok. the odd song out of context isnt really an issue. the problem is if someone pays no attention to the event or decides to go off-piste for the sake of it. this will result in a good kicking ;) no shows are dealt with as they occur. if theres a valid excuse then i'm usually forgiving but my patience will run out for repeat offenders. if no excuse, then i'll ban as seems appropriate etc.
Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4595&BoardID=3 P have you been drinking???That makes no sense to me at all???
Posted by Spike Hammond ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4595&BoardID=3 But what if one song slips past the net and isn't part of the specialism. I mean I wasn't up on my Raggae music which is why I decided not to participate in International Raggae Day? And I'm guessing this 2 week ban from booking only occurs if the offence is committed on a special event (so say like my cousin was offensive on a non-event slot, would he get a 2 week ban from booking). Also, I think it should be treated like 3 no-shows, but for double the time. So you no-show at an event, or you get kicked, and you get a 2 week ban from the whole of 1Radio (DJ side), with all slots in that period automatically unbooked. Perhaps script it in so if it's an event and you get kicked off or no-show, the system automatically and instantly unbooks all slots within that 2 week period and locks you out?

Posted by Gaz ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4368&BoardID=3 Well well :) I always like to comment and give my view on things if it concerns my station, me or the volunteers that commit to my site. I've been on 1Radio's site plenty of times, and I applaud them on a great layout and how easy it is to navigate around and I love how the owner of the site isn't classing other internet sites as "rivals" when clearly we're all doing the same thing for the benefit of those who want to develop their skills further (if they are currently doing FM work) or just want to try radio having had a keen interest. I speak from experience, I started online radio in 2007 as a volunteer and really had no intentions of setting up my own site, but come 2010, I'm a year in to it. Blah enough of my life story lol. Just felt I needed to add to this topic from the p.o.v. of another site.

Posted by DJ Paladinleeds ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4368&BoardID=3 Hi there, I'd like to add to this little forum topic which I think raises very valid points. The 1Radio Admin rightly points out, none of us other broadcasters are or should be classed as "rivals", I run this site which Paladin said "You don't have to pay a penny to broadcast (unlike one station which is getting former 1Radio DJs)." We have a duo who do a show at the radio station who still do 1Radio, and we have a female who has been with us for some time before she had joined 1Radio too :). We ask volunteers to chip in a small amount each month to cover the running of the station and the licensing fees (as we too are licensed with PRS & PPL), unfortunately I don't have the funds to pay approx £200 yearly for licenses :)
Posted by Chris ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4368&BoardID=3 its no big deal palad. lets not blow this thread out of proportion.

What am I supposed to do if I accidentally say "You're listening to [student station]"? For arguments sake, let's say it's called UniRadio (watch there be a UniRadio out there)... and I say "You're listening to UniRadio" instead of "You're listening to 1Radio". How do I get myself out of that situation?

Posted by DJ Paladinleeds ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4403&BoardID=3 It's exactly the point in hand. I don't want paid for broadcasting here? Why, because I am ALREADY getting paid, in EXPERIENCE. The experience is the best payout you could ask for. If you think you need to broadcast here while getting paid cold hard cash for it, I hope Tim drops the banhammer on you! Royalties are paid, you get a SOLID stream (although it suffers from the odd technical glitch from time to time, but hey, what doesn't?), you get an advert-free site so it looks good. You've got a super-helpful community. You don't have to pay a penny to broadcast (unlike one station which is getting former 1Radio DJs). Best of all, it's fun. Now to those who demand getting paid... GTM (Get The Message) or GTF (Get To )! I apologise for the language there, but I love doing this for free. I'm hopefully going to use the experience from 1Radio to get paid gigs. We have a huge queue of talent just waiting to get a bite at the apple. Don't like 1Radio? Get out and make room for new!
Posted by DJ Paladinleeds ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4368&BoardID=3 Well, I finally have the guts to post short and sweet, I AM loyal to 1radio. I DO agree that simulcasting to another station that I broadcast on would be disrespectful. A presenter like Nytefyre simulcasts on HER own station, and see no conflict there as it isn't a "rival". As far as getting paid? How can one even think of that when 1radio (Tim) offers the BEST "deal in town"? 1Radio has without a doubt the best DJ Panel out there. As far as getting more people to listen? The ONLY way to do that without using your social networking pages, would be to "promote" the other station while broadcasting, and to me, it's just not respectful. I KNOW that I am "old school", but I want to STRESS that it was TIM who allowed me to present without ANY prior experience! It was TIM (1radio) that moulded me into the radio personality that I am today! And MOST OF ALL? It is the license FROM TIM, that "allows me" to present on another station! I will ALWAYS be LOYAL to 1radio! They come FIRST for me.

Posted by Mark ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4403&BoardID=3 no one's talking abt exclusivity. people can and do broadcast on multiple stations. it's about simulcasting individual shows. its allowed but you should ask first as a courtesy. the rules i've posted abt simulcasting were borne from the complaints of OTHER stations when they found out their DJs were on 1Radio also. the subject of getting paid always seems to come up from time to time. we provide a free service, a quality shoutcast server, pay royalties and are licenced. you'll have also noticed there's no advertising on the site or the stream. so unfortunately, djs (and myself for that matter) wont be getting paid anytime soon. but do feel free to look for paid gigs! if people are unhappy to broadcast without being paid, i guess they'd vote with their feet. thankfully, we are awash with talented, enthusiastic and committed people who help make the site what it is. plus we have a constant queue of people wanting to join too. imagine how much bigger we'd be if i could pay people!
Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4368&BoardID=3 Is this not a little heavy handed, streaming elsewhere could lead to an increased audience for the show bringing new audiences for all the stations it goes out on, and the broadcaster could choose to keep their show generic with no station jingles in it at all. The way I look at it is as no one is paid you are getting content from the broadcaster and that is their content you cannot attempt to lock that content down to 1radio, for me personally you would have to offer something like a financial incentive before I would agree to be exclusive to 1radio. I also feel that the internet radio stations would do better working together rather than competing against each other.

Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4368&BoardID=3 You're saying without permission, but does that mean we need to seek permission off you, or just the other station involved?
Posted by DJ Paladinleeds ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4368&BoardID=3 If you broadcast using Easycast or SAM Broadcaster, please make sure you register with audiorealm.com and input your registration details into your encoder. Why? Because when you stream, your now playing info will then appear in the audiorealm directory. People often search on particular artists - and if our site shows up in the directory - you could get more listeners. People often visit a site if its is playing (or has just played) their chosen artist. And they often hang around in the expectation of hearing other artists they might like. Go on. It only takes a few mins. Thanks and hat tip to DJ Scott for the reminder of audiorealm :)
Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4371&BoardID=3 I'm looking forward to Captain Kremmen too. Sadly I'm slightly too young (honestly) to remember Kenny Everett in his radio heyday as when I was a kid he was more of a TV personality. Coming back on-topic, have to agree with the posters with reference to having proper presenters that have something of interest to say, which is why when I finish my show I always listen to Colin John (gawd that sounds like a plug) rather than back to back music. My personal pet-hate (which has nothing to do with 1radio) is voicetracking. Yes to a lot of the listening public there is a DJ there but if they're just reading a liner card after every 3 tracks then you may as well be listening to an ipod, especially when they talk about "local" events that they clearly have no idea about. A clear point was made with the Cumbrian shootings, for which the local station CFM had next to no coverage of, despite broadcasting to the Whitehaven area, as apparently all of their daytime slots are voicetracked!
Posted by Chris Matthews ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4047&BoardID=3 Just lately, people have started informing me of rival radio stations being populated by current 1Radio DJs. Thanks for the heads-up but its not really necessary. I have no problem with this. The web is infinite and theres plenty room for everyone. I'm confident that 1Radio is strong and can withstand competition. The only point I will make is that I DO NOT allow advertising of other stations on 1Radio - either in the forums, shoutbox or on the air. You know that already :) If you choose to broadcast on another radio station, that's fine too. However, you are NOT permitted to simulcast your 1Radio show on another station without permission. If you do have permission, there are some simple rules you should follow. More info at http://1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=743&BoardID=3
Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4368&BoardID=3 If you have a 1Radio DJ seat licence for SAM Broadcaster, please check your private messages for the latest code. Each DJ seat user has a personal code registered to them. Codes are updated every quarter for as long as you remain a broadcaster on 1Radio. Old codes no longer work.

If nobody has booked that slot 'AutoDJ' kicks in, does that 'hold' our listeners? I would guess not.... It's what the presenter brings to the programme that makes listeners stay, they like the music and hopefully they enjoy the 'rabbit' in-between, it's the entertainment the presenter provides between the tracks that is unique. I appreciate that some shows will lend themselves to back2back, but in the main there must be something that differenciates radio from a music player.....so get those microphones out. Apologies if any of this offends, it's just my opinion.

Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=3970&BoardID=3 I assume this is for a co-presenter or someone contributing to the show somehow and not just a tool to highlight your family or friends.

ALL I can remember is that it was an upbeat tune, sung by girls, and in the chorus it had gunshots in it! Like THRE shots. It was a newer song I think. I WISH I could remember more, but maybe the "gunshots" will spark someone's memory? SE help! I'm NOT getting any younger! lol. Thank you guys. I have COMPLETE faith in you!

Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=3970&BoardID=3 Please show some grace if you have slot takeover and have already taken other slots during the day. Give other people with takeover privilege a chance to get a look in. We limit the number of slots people do in one day for a good reason - variety! If a slots remains empty after 5 or 10 mins, then feel free to take over. But dont hog the takeover button for every single slot in expectation of a now show or an appearance of the autodj, particularly if you know other people would like to do a show. Repeated takeovers go against the spirit and terms of the site. You also risk having your takeover privilege taken away - see terms at http://1radio.org/terms/premium.php So, please show some consideration for your fellow DJs. Thanks for your support.

Posted by DJ Paladinleeds ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4293&BoardID=3 What's it all about, the rules? It's like freecast essentially, their show is their show, you may not like the music, you may not like the people hanging out, they may not dig any more shows but that's the way the cookie crumbles. Live and let live, it is a family sure but that doesn't mean everybody wants to listen to everybody else 24/7, the way I see it somebody starts a show builds up a fanbase which is all about what they've created, that's what it's all about, they're building themselves up, why should they not do that it's not as if they're working for the station, they're trying to improve what they do, so yeah that's doin' it for themselves but it's not a bad thing because we get diversity. The thank you thing, again it's a tough cookie but essentially the hour is theirs, optional, and what if they're going to do a podcast, it would mess it up because they'd be throwin' back to something that had happened way back when, come on live let live this is doing it for the love.
Posted by Gary Robinson ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4296&BoardID=3 I must admit that I rarely remember to thank the DJ for the show before me. That is because when I start I am watching the shoutbox, spamming Facebook or Twitter and concentrating on the music and broadcast. I did get into the habit of making a note to remind myself to thank the previous DJ, then forgot to read it :( I am old and that is my defence :)
Posted by DJ Ceejay ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4296&BoardID=3 Okay, Lets get this sorted then so each week a DJ gets to pick a song (whatever they want) they post a message about it in the jingle exchange and the djs that want 2 play it, get the message and the track from somewhere else and there you go? I don't mind telling everyone about this but tim there might need 2 be a new folder made in the jingle exchange
Posted by Liam and Seb ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=3994&BoardID=3 that is all I was asking! to respect each other enough to build the other Djs shows. Is that really too much to ask? Or thank the DJ before us? I don't think so. Like someone said, they Dj for themselves and I do too, however would it hurt for us to be aware of one another?
Posted by DJ nytefyre ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4296&BoardID=3 The BIGGEST "issue" that I can see is the Lack of common respect and decency to "announce" the next DJ coming up. That just makes good professionalism. It should really be a "routine" thing. I ALWAYS nake a point of clicking on that "schedule" link that Tim put in the box for us to have easy access to, and just READ who's coming up. Maybe most of us could agree on that? Peace!

Posted by DJ Ceejay ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4293&BoardID=3 actually I should have separated my ban statement. It would never be based upon who does or doesn't listen... honestly
Posted by DJ nytefyre ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4296&BoardID=3 as I said... it was a rant
Posted by DJ nytefyre ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4296&BoardID=3 I really don't see what the problem is. Surely it's better than somebody to listen to one show on 1Radio then to never listen to it at all. It's inevitable that people will tune in for specific DJs especially if DJ/ presenter has been as broadcast on places before here. For example many of my listeners I know only listen to me. However a decent number have gone on to not only listen but become presenters themselves for example Martin Rolfe and Gary from clever little pod. One final point. Say for example I love dance music and hate jazz music. I am listening to a dance music show, straight after there is a jazz show. It would be ridiculous to expect me to carry on listening!
Posted by Rhodders ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4296&BoardID=3 Yup we're broadcasting outside as we discovered it actually really works well (1 tip, get a table with even number of legs as we discovered on Tuesday ;) I guess we'll have some summer features maybe another 'garden focus?' more likely a water fight ;) as for music we're building up a summery playlist and we have some amazing songs but we won't give away yet :)
Posted by Liam and Seb ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4293&BoardID=3 Listeners are listeners nytefyre. After a while everyone does tend to build up their 'own audience' if you like so I don't think it would be fair to ban people just for preferring one show to another as I'm sure that other show would have it's own audience?
Posted by Liam and Seb ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4296&BoardID=3 Not sure I understand the first point. Are you saying we need to ban people who turn up to listen to one show and not others? Loads of DJs have their own followers - esp family members and friends. Some of these followers have discovered other DJs (typically the one on immediately after) and have go on to listen to that DJ regularly too. But with the diverse range of presentation styles and music genres, no listener should be expected to like and follow everyone surely?
Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4296&BoardID=3 Okay I'm going to give a rant.... I try to listen to as many DJs as I can, and I know other Djs do too. But it is rapidly becoming old when I see certain DJs that have a following as we call it, and new people show up in the shout box that aren't there any other time. Are we a family or are we not? I am not here for myself, obviously not I have my own radio station. Tim has built a great thing here, and if it were me, I'd ban half the people who come around. and while I'm on a rant, I won't apologize for calling out people who have been banned, and you KNOW who you are. If I see them I will say something. Tim takes far too much abuse. for those of you who don't understand what it means to run a radio station, it isn't a right it is an honor and a privilege. /rant

Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4268&BoardID=3 Tim, listening to the stream is not as deceptive as you think. Yes, you'll have your music playing at lag, but at the same time as SAMBC disconnects me because of the changed password, whatever was coming through the stream into something like WinAmp is cut off as well. As I said, that is at the SAME time. Just a heads up Colin.
Posted by DJ Paladinleeds ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4273&BoardID=3 Ceejay, you say power cuts, ISP problems, but you haven't mentioned technical problems. Yes, if my mic cr*ps out I just either get my backup mic out or play non-stop music, but sometimes my PC goes into a BSOD frenzy (I have managed to cut them out in the main, and can fix them quickly when they occur, but fixing them mid-show won't be quick enough, and will score me a no-show). I think power cuts + ISP problems should be collectively put down as technical problems.
Posted by DJ Paladinleeds ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4276&BoardID=3 sorry, but i dont accept death. people can always upload a show in advance of their funeral.
Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4276&BoardID=3 listening to the stream will be deceptive becoz of lag. as spike has noted, the spock should be good to about +/-3 seconds but if you dont wanna trust the spock, then just keep refreshing this page http://spring.wavestreamer.com:8863/ and wait for server down status. you are then definitely good to go!
Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4273&BoardID=3 I used the spock and hit the encoder at 5 seconds after zero and got a broadcast error so i stick to my old trusted system of listening in to the show before mine and waiting until that ends, that is approx xx:58.20, works for me 99.9% of the time.
Posted by DJ Ceejay ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4273&BoardID=3 Sorry but other than power cuts, ISP fault, hospitalisation or death there is no reason to no show. It is a poor reflection on the station and does cost us listeners.

Posted by Spike Hammond ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4273&BoardID=3 you can begin broadcasting at xx:58 (check the timer so that you know when its xx:58 on the server). your slot will end at xx:58 also - exactly 1 or 2 hours later.
Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4273&BoardID=3 Lots of no shows again lately (yeah, yeah I know I'm guilty too). As usual, three no shows and you are suspended for 1 week. If you score another no show, then you are off for 2 weeks. A third offence, and your account will be closed or your booking restricted to a lesser number of slots per week than other members. The cumulative count of no shows and the threat of account closure/restriction will be reset when DJs have broadcast a number of consecutive shows without no showing.
Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4276&BoardID=3 Cheers Spike, yes was aware of the 'count down' timer, but it seemed to be opening the slot a long time before I was used to....so I admit I didn't trust it.

Posted by Colin John ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4273&BoardID=3 colin we have a spock (thats spike clock) on the now playing page it will count you in and count you out it's accurate to about 2 secs i have sussed out. If you go to your show page even when it's not your show and go to timer it will countdown the time till switch over i normally wait till it's zero wait 2 secs then hit the encoder and voila you got an extra min of your show!!!!! spike (not a techie believe me!)
Posted by Spike Hammond ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4273&BoardID=3 Anybody got an idea of the stream delay time please? I want to start my show on time at 12noon and want to start streaming at the correct delay point so that transmission starts at the correct time.

Posted by Colin John ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4273&BoardID=3 I mean think about it, it all depends on the individual, not their age. I mean I charge into most of my shows with no planning or thinking out, and it tends to run as it runs. Remember, even commercial DJs don't write out a script which will be exactly what they have to say. I mean the only shows that have a huge effort put into them are The Sharing Zone shows, but they're talk show and it's impossible for me to run a talk show unplanned. Rhodders does planning for TRIF.
Posted by DJ Paladinleeds ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4242&BoardID=3 Yeah we fit nice and snug into the younger side but it doesn't for one second mean we don't execute a good, thought out and planned a show,we don't think it wud be a good idea too put age restrictions on what time u can broadcast and rhodders is right, it is really annoying when the adults make up rules just too suit themselves because at the end of the day that's all that the restrictions would do
Posted by Liam and Seb ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4242&BoardID=3 Know what you're getting a Garry, totally agree. After all it is "playtime" for everybody including adults as we are all playing at being radio presenters and don't forget that. I would never be pretentious enough to say I was doing anything other than playing.
Posted by Rhodders ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4242&BoardID=3 That's what I was trying to say, it should be about encouraging everybody, it's not a commercial operation, more one to learn and experiment in, that's the problem with trying to structure the station rigidly and sayin' we don't want anybody young on air after 10pm it goes against the whole point, that like Freecast people get slots to broadcast their show not to conform to a station format because there isn't one as such, you see what I'm getting at in a roundabout way?
Posted by Gary Robinson ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4242&BoardID=3 I have noticed recently quite a few slots going to Auotdj / slot takeover because the DJ's have problems with their settings / equipment. Some are choosing to 'test' new equipment in a live show only to find that it either doesn't work or the quality is poor. With slots being in such high demand I personally feel that DJ's who have new equipment or who have been having connection issues should run tests before their next shows. I am not totally innocent on this score, having changed VDJ versions and didn't realise the encoder hadn't loaded on my hard-drive. It was just lucky I had a back-up copy on the hard-drive and got going well before the 5 minute cut off period. If anyone does want to test their equipment drop me a message and I will be more than willing to give you 1/2 hour to 1 hour to help you out. I have a free streamer account for this purpose.
Posted by DJ Ceejay ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4268&BoardID=3 don't agree at all. calling it playtime is patronising beyond an exhibits the attitude of a old fogie, which I'm sure you're not! Can't you remember when you are young and adults at stuff like this to you? It's very annoying. I've have heard many "adults shows" which had been poorly planned and badly executed but I'd would never generalise about all "adults" based on these shows. I think the main issue here is that they don't play the music you like. Being 20 at the start of June I don't think fit into either camp of young or old and I've been very impressed with new young presenters who have recently joined. They show talent, enthusiasmare and a willing to give things ago which is what this place is about, right?
Posted by Rhodders ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4242&BoardID=3 age don't matter if it's a good show that's what I say, it a bit condescending to call the whole block of youngsters shows "playtime", havin said that sometimes and this is all ages just non-stop music or someone that sounds like they're using a fisher price microphone, that's "playtime" to me and that can be the adults too.
Posted by Gary Robinson ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4242&BoardID=3 it's a good idea, to let listeners join in, I dabble in listening but I also would like to graduate but I have so far not been able to register as a DJ, any ideas on when the bottleneck might be cleared and I can join in on air too?

Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4247&BoardID=3 i agree that the younger presenters are generally a credit to the site. as much as i would like to impose a watershed, its a bit meaningless in the global economy. also, if we were to prevent younger members from broadcasting after say 10pm, then would we be justified in restriction them from listening or entering the shoutbox at that time too - esp if a show has a warning attached to it? that is of course unworkable, but it highlights the difficulties and contradictions of imposing restrictions due to age.
Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4242&BoardID=3 During school term most youngsters can only broadcast between 4:00pm and 10pm. I can see Spikes point about youngsters broadcasting at midnight or past that, they should be in bed by 10:30 latest on school nights. I think it is unfair to say that listeners are being driven away by the younger DJ's shows, far from it, some are getting 19 / 21 listeners per show and they are not just teen Facebook friends. I listened to a couple of younger presenters and their show was well thought out, executed and entertaining. They had 19 listeners, many of whom stayed on to listen to the next couple of shows. Yes some do let the side down, missing shows because they are to engrossed in a game of Xbox, but generally the few younger DJ / Presenters I have listened to have been really good and some of the older presenters could learn a few tricks from them!

Posted by Tez ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4237&BoardID=3 In the US? We use "Magic Jack"! It's US$20/year for UNLIMITED calls to the US and Canada! I paid $60 for 5 years up front so...yeah. That's $12/year then! Unfortunately, you can't make overseas calls that I know of for any price. I am checking on that. It's a USB phone. It's the size of a BIG thumb drive! Great clarity and has a GUI interface on screen OR you can use an actual phone of any type. I HOPE to use my number to start getting the US market, if there even IS such a thing. Been trying. STUBBORN people we are! lol
Posted by Tez ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4214&BoardID=3 SORRY-Too excited. LAST THING! When conversing with the caller, it is BETTER that you "mute" SAM's output while talking to the caller, and of COURSE, you MUST have the "Talk Lock" ON at ALL times during the call.

Posted by Frank Allen ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4214&BoardID=3 I read through all the terms and conditions and although you get a free number you are charged per minute if you use it. They do offer 1000 hours of calls for £5.9 a month, which has to be good if your a heavy phone user. It may be that you can link this to your mobile and receive incoming calls, not sure on that though. As for Skype, you can get a number that is linked to your mobile, not landline as I thought. This won't accept incoming calls but is used to make cheap International calls using your mobile (cellphone). You do indeed need to buy a Skype number if you want to receive incoming calls. You also need to buy Skype in and Skype Out so really it isn't that cheap. I only use the PC to make outgoing calls on Skype and £20 credit will last me about 14 months :) I don't phone a lot lol.

Posted by DJ Scott ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4214&BoardID=3 You get a free number with Skype. When you want to make international calls you dial this number. Then you enter the Country & Area code then finally the number of the person you wish to contact. These calls are charged at a much cheaper rate than doing from your usual landline / mobile. If you buy Skype out you can call most countries for 1p per minute. I have chatted with a friend in California for 1 hour and it cost 63p (3p connection fee). This seems to work pretty much the same way. If I phone family or friends I use my Skype out, it is much cheaper than using the landline. Text messages only cost about 7 or 8p as well :)

Posted by Tez ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=3956&BoardID=3 When I first joined 1radio rating where important to me, it gave me an indication as to whether people enjoyed my shows or not. Now however I look at listener figures as opposed to ratings. I had noticed in the past some DJ / presenters having only 10 or 11 listeners but 21 positive ratings!! If people enjoy your shows they will return, if not they won't. I would rather have 20 listeners with 2 or 3 positive ratings than 20 positive ratings and only 2 or 3 listeners.

Posted by Tez ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=3956&BoardID=3 I really hope these rules get loosened if things quiet down as it's very difficult to cram everything into an hour on my show. With interactive shows it can take awhile to the audience to becoming gauged. I do an hour at uni, by the time the audience are writing in its time for me to leave!!! But I also see why they are in place as 1Radio is supposed to be a place where people can learn and have a go. If these rules increase that during busy times then it can't be a bad thing. It's great having a new members we now have.

Posted by Tez ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4207&BoardID=3 Sorry but there is no special treatment otherwise many DJs would be deserving. As currently happens, occasional exceptions will be allowed and DJs can ask me directly if they are planning a special event.
Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=3957&BoardID=3 I don't think Gaz's Sunday show will be the same if he is limited to 1 hour. The first hour is co-produced with either a fellow presenter or a listener but more importantly, it brings in the listeners. As one of the longest serving and , in my opinion, best presenters on 1radio Gaz should be given special treatment. I personally believe there should be owners discretion and it isn't as though he is going to be given extra slots, theses 4 weekend slots come off his weekly allowance.
Posted by DJ Ceejay ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=3957&BoardID=3 Tim, cant we at least have the option to "buy a larger restriction"? ie: 04 hours a week standard (either premium/non premium hours) 06 hours a week £2 (a month) (either premium / non premium hours) 08 hours a week £4 (a month) (max 6 hours premium, remainder non-premium) 10 hours a week £6 (a month) (max 6 hours premium, remainder non-premium) Obviously due to the fact I work, i can only really do shows at night, however when saturday/sunday comes i may fancy doing a 2 hour show during the day but not really want to forsake night time shows.... At end of the day it allows people to choose if they want extra hours
Posted by Gaz ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=3957&BoardID=3 and before anyones says...."but it was you who mentioned it" keep your trap shut....like i should have lol

Posted by DJ Paladinleeds ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4174&BoardID=3 I think 1 hour of quality is better than 2 hours of "filling" and the diversity in the peak hours (uk) is damn good!!!
Posted by Spike Hammond ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=3957&BoardID=3 can I add as well don't keep referring to the nightmare just get on with your show! nothing is worse than a presenter keeping saying sorry!!!!!!!carry on as if nothing happened..........
Posted by Spike Hammond ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4174&BoardID=3 An awful lot has been known to go wrong on my shows! You just need to stay calm as was mentioned earlier were all learning. A good trick is to always have a song queued up so you can just hit play while you sort things out. If you really can't cover up a disaster you can sometimes, depending on the type of show, try make a joke out of it. Here is an example from a recent student radio show I did- I was having difficulty patching a live phone call through on the desk hear it here- http://rhoddersfm.rhodders.com/home/?p=327
Posted by Rhodders ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4174&BoardID=3 I agree with Spike, it does help if you know you have extra time to sort things out but at the same time no one is going to listen silence for 10 minutes. I think if mods do assist dj / presenters it should be no more that 2 / 3 minutes extra. Of course if no mods are on line then the usual 5 minutes silence will apply and this also shouldn't be taken personally.

Posted by DJ nytefyre ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4187&BoardID=3 I would say in the UK, keep it forever. It's worked well. I'm personally loving being able to cut down my slot times to 1 hour, especially the talk shows, because when they fail, they REALLY fail :( However, can I make one small suggestion? Treating peak time on a weekend as being 7am through to 3am the following morning. So Friday, 6pm-3am = peak. Saturday 7am-3am = peak. Sunday, 7am-1am = peak.
Posted by DJ Paladinleeds ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=3957&BoardID=3 To be fair, as I'm expanding my setup, I'm hitting more and more technical problems. I remember when I first started, like 20 shows on the trot were cancelled due to my PC bluescreening all the day (hence the mention of that in The Moron Mix of Omen). But you learn, and BSODs still happen every now and then for me, but you live with it.
Posted by DJ Paladinleeds ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4174&BoardID=3 the stats are in and more people are on air than ever before and feedback abt one hour shows has been really good. so, i confirm that this restriction will remain for the summer at least. i have removed the local prime time restriction for those outside the uk as this was proving unnecessary since peak slots in those zones dont have the same level of demand. so, slots from 6pm-1am UK time will continue to be considered prime time and as such, you can only book one hour. all other slots will remain unaffected. thanks for your patience whilst we worked through this new booking strategy

Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4081&BoardID=3 I think CJ hit the nail on the head. When I started I was pretty much in the heavens for technical problems. As well as having a cr*p microphone and lack of knowledge. But putting each show behind as it passes, you start to build until you get to where you are when you're reading this comment. A much more experienced and skillful DJ/Presenter. No one is "bad" or "rubbish". It's just getting used it everything. :)

Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4081&BoardID=3 It happens to even the most experienced of people, the gremlins strike and things go wrong. When this happens most, including myself, panic and with the pressure of trying to sort the problem and thinking about losing the slot it really can be frustrating. On at least two occasions that I have seen a mod has turned off the thing that makes Autodj kick in just long enough to prevent these two dj's / presenters losing their slots. The main thing is if things are out of your control and you are unfortunate enough to lose the slot this shouldn't be taken as you being a hopeless dj / presenter or a failure. A true professional says "Oh well never mind" and picks themselves up ready for their next show.

Posted by Spike Hammond ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4047&BoardID=3 A listener writes... I listen to 1Radio whenever I can and like to hear the music being introduced and the ‘patter’ of the different DJs, isn’t that what being radio DJ is all about? A DJs job is to attract and entertain the listener, hopefully building-up a group of regular listeners. How anyone can do this without communicating with the listener is beyond me. If you had to pay each DJs £100 for every show, I’m sure you would also look at it in a different way. I can understand that on the odd occasion a DJ will have a problem with his mic’ or, as you say, the show running through the night and accept that, but presenters (and I use the word ‘presenters’ instead of DJ to emphasize my point) who just play music on all of their shows are only kidding themselves that they are DJs. If I want to listen to continuous music, I can hear that at my local Supermarket. You have many fine presenters and shows here on 1Radio, but when I tune-in to a show with no mic’ I tend to switch it off and listen to something else. While I’m moaning, there’s something else I’ve noticed. When a show finishes, the player goes dead and the next show doesn’t start. You have to click on the next show to hear it, which is very annoying.

Posted by Spike Hammond ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4047&BoardID=3 I agree with CJ and Spike. I think it would be actually impossible for me to do a show without talking! I'm not saying everyone has to be a motormouth. Even if the focus of your shows the music it's still nice to hear the tracks announced.

Seriously-I LOVE it when the presenter has personality when he's on. No other way to do it except with a mic. Seems to be all about the "prime slots" being affected. I always use a mic, and I am rarely on in the PT of the UK, but for ME? I listen MORE for the DJ, than the music. I guess I'm weird like that! (did I just ramble on?) lol

Posted by Seb and Liam ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=4047&BoardID=3 I wondered what opinions people have on DJ's who don't have a microphone. If I want to listen to just music I would wait for AutoDJ. I know sometimes things happen and you may end up having to do a show without a microphone but most listeners like to hear some chat, even if it is only introducing the music. If a DJ is doing a one hour non stop trance mix, then using a microphone may be impossible. Also if you have family and there is an early morning slot then using a mic may be difficult as well. I have seen DJ's without microphones take prime slots which I think is unfair on those DJ's who have paid out to get the right equipment. Your views on this!!

Posted by DJ Javo ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=3956&BoardID=3 This is actually working quite well. More people are getting on air for the last 2 weeks than previous 2 weeks. There is also more diversity and people value the slots more.

Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=3957&BoardID=3 If, during your show, ratings seem to fluctuate then fear not. Due to continued abuse, the system is now more strict. Fake votes, flooding, repeated voting from the same subnet and votes from people not actually listening are removed automatically. The system has always done some of this retrospectively but now it's more visible.
Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=3956&BoardID=3 A small word on presenting-I'm no expert but I been doing this malarkey since I was nine and have picked up some good tips. You have to remember talking on the radio is nothing like talking to your mate in a normal conversation. I like to imagine I'm talking to an audience from a stage, radio is much more of a performance. However you also need to make it sound natural. Even radio presenters who sound conversational such as Chris Miles and Scott Mills speak differently to how people do in normal conversation. Every word is pronounced clearly. As for planning- Helpsy's advice is pretty much spot on. You have to prepare a show. You need to get the balance between planning and having room to improvise ya don't want your show to sound too scripted and you don't want it to fall apart. I tend to break my plan into 15 or 30min chunks so I know what I'm doing within this time blocks. I also set up a play list of songs and jingles (very easy to do on SAM) so I am not hunting for audio files

Posted by Spike Hammond ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=3891&BoardID=3 I must admit to being a little anal (no sniggering at the back) about preparation. I only do 2 hours a week so like to get everything planned in advance, information on the artists I play, timings of tracks etc. I also find - agreeing with Helpsy on this point - that the time of day is crucial. Basically, I do a 2 hour show on Saturday mornings, which is slightly nostalgic in tone playing stuff mainly from the 80s and 90s. Normally on Saturday, you get Mark with a great mix from 8 til 10, then me for 2 hours, then Colin John and his high noon rock show. That's a five hour block that, to me, sounds perfect for Saturday mornings but would probably not work so well on a Friday night. But really, preparation is key! Mark and Tom mention that you don't want to sound waffley. Mind you, I've been waffling on for nearly a year now and no-one's noticed yet!
Posted by Chris Matthews ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=3848&BoardID=3 I'm with Spike and DJ P, it is down to DJ's being more considerate. If you have already done 1 or 2 hours within an 8 / 12 hour period then you should consider allowing others to take a vacant slot. Of course this is only possible if the shoutbox is open and people do communicate with each other.
Posted by DJ Ceejay ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=3876&BoardID=3 Hey, Can someone recommend me the best software to broadcast with?

Posted by DJ Terrum ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=3891&BoardID=3 I agree with Spike on this one. You want a slot, then fine, but also consider other users. I personally think it should be down to djs to be considerate, rather than a forced fairness policy. That makes you feel as though you are being treated like adults and not kids.
Posted by DJ Paladinleeds ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=3876&BoardID=3 As we know, everyone is free to takeover empty slots if they have that feature on their account. If you have already been on for a couple of hours today or you will start a slot in a subsequent hour and taking over effectively gives you 3 or more hours - then show some mercy and give others a chance to broadcast. Whilst you may love your music and/or the sound of your own voice, others might want to hear something else - thats why slots are limited to 2 hours! Please show some grace when it comes to taking over slots and dont just sit on the takeover button waiting for someone to no show or go off air - particularly if you know others would like a chance to broadcast. PS this is not a new message. see the post at http://1radio.org/forums/goto.php?PostID=2950
Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=3876&BoardID=3 yeah it is a really good idea to plan ahead we always have 'the bear bones' of our show printed off e.g. what songs were gonna play (we underline some songs in purple as these can be replaced with requests if there are any) we also worked out that on average - 3 songs is ten minutes so you know if the time is xx:58 you've got time for three more songs

Posted by Spike Hammond ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=3848&BoardID=3 Make sure you plan your show as Helpsy said, doesn't necessarily have to be as detailed as Helpsy has it - when we do our shows we just make sure that we know what songs we're gonna play a couple in advance, and if you plan to talk make sure you have an idea what about or else it can sound waffley and you risk loosing listeners.
Posted by Mark & Tom ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=3848&BoardID=3 I would say 1stly don't be scared to let your personality out on the show - don't feel like you have to keep it in and only introduce each song. Be bold, maybe do something involving the listeners whether that be requests or a feature is up to you. If you can try and book a regular-ish slot then you will tend to get more of the same listeners coming back, you will lose some of these when you move away from this slot but also pick up new listeners. Don't be worried to plug your future shows and put promos in the jingle exchange it's what will get you listeners coming back. Also, I know you do, but show your face in the shoutbox, if DJs see you listening to them they may be more inclined to listen to you, hear your show and then feel like they should play your promo from the exchange. ...

Posted by DJ Javo ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=3848&BoardID=3 Another point on choosing the show theme/type. It might seem weird to some, but the time that you air your show has a massive effect on the type of show you should air. For example, you might decide to do a show which includes some of the best summer hits. And the slot you decide to air this show could be 10pm-11pm in the Winter. Big no no lol Also, when going to book a slot. Keep your show genre in mind. Look at the slots around you - Again using the summer music example -. Some of the slots between you might be shows based on Gospel, religious or heavy rock. And if you air your show between these shows the listener count might differ. This is because people who were tuning into the last show (might be a heavy rock show) might be thinking the next show is going to be along the same lines. And when you start... They will disappear :( I'm not saying only book your shows when other people are doing the same type of show, or to do a type of show that everyone else is doing.

I rarely advertise. :P I turn up and presenter because I just love doing it.
Posted by Helpsy ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=3848&BoardID=3 I'm no "expert" in this crazy world of radio but I find it to be pretty much a bit of common sense to make a good show. ;) Before I even book a slot I always want to have a idea for a show, let it be topics for a talk show or a genre/date or whatever if it's a music show. Once I've done that I then make a rough plan of the show on a blank sheet of paper. E.G. :58 - Start Encoders, play introduction :04 - Introduce show, leading into next song :08 - End song with a promo for 1Radio That type of notations, nothing to much, just nice and simple. As for linking, the way I do it is. At the end of every song there will be those few seconds where it fades out. At that second I play the promo, jingle or whatever. Or I even say what the song was if I haven't already and carry on from there. And finally, listeners. To attract listeners your show doesn't have to be the best of the best. To attract listeners, the best way is to promote, promote and promote. (Continue next post).

Posted by Matthew ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=3744&BoardID=3 well I agree peak times might change... Peak time at 7pm in arizona certainly isn't peak in the UK but it is a good opportunity for American Djs to try and build a larger base here. So it is frustrating to hear a pre recorded show that gains no feed back or any involvement. Having said that, I find that my biggest listener base is in the UK and it is very hard for me to get slots that are friendly with my job. So all around it is a juggle for everyone and no easy way to solve it. The positive side of it is WOW look at all the people we have wanting to DJ, amazing *hugs*

Posted by Dusty ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=3520&BoardID=3 I download on average 14Gb a week, browse the internet, broadcast on 1radio and listen in as well and I have never had any major problems with bandwidth usage. I pay 14.99 gbp a month for unlimited access and that is what I get. Ok in the daytime sometimes downloads are slow but I have got 400kb/s after midnight. Just set the comp to auto shutdown when downloads finish and I can sleep why the machine does all the hard work. Always use a long password with Wi-fi and mix uppercase, lowercase and numbers. If it is such a problem just switch off the router when not in use.

Well, I have encrypted WPA2 wifi AND i was away for 4 weeks out of the 6... so i found it impossible. The next month it went back to normal though. I think somebody, somehow, had got into our wifi cause its not possible any other way really?...

Posted by Matt ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=3381&BoardID=3 hey all, i've decided to knock an hour of my show on friday night (6pm - 7pm) , 2 reasons mainly , 1. I'm now limited on my internet usage so every mb i use counts , and 2. the listener count is significantly lower during 6 - 7 compared to 7 - 8 , so i'm going to put more effort into doing 1 hour between 7pm - 8pm . plus someone else will have the chance to get a friday slot :) , so if you already have a friday slot please think about letting someone else have it rather than booking a second hour. I also want to feature other dj's sets in my show too , so if you wanna mix somethin up and send it me feel free, i'll give apropriate credit , and some voice messages to go with it would be a good idea such as "hi this is dj xxx in the mix right now on 1radio.org" Thanks, Matt

Posted by DJ ricky rodgers ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=3367&BoardID=3 not , boasting, but I think i am very good with my MP3 tags. :) To achieve this, everything I import goes through a media cleint and therefore gets the info from the Gracenote CDDB. If it is a single for instance, I normally have to complete the tags myself, but if you just get the info from iTunes Store, you'll know it's correct. Also, in SAMBC, when I play jingles, music beds and clips like interview , I feed them through the AUX as they don't transmit the MP3 tags; its really annoying having your jingles, interviews and beds appear in your playlist and also interferring with the 1radio music stats.

Posted by Spike Hammond ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=3133&BoardID=3 swearing in songs is ok but for general info, its worth noting the broadcast rules at http://1radio.org/terms/broadcast.php i think i've heard spike and nytefyre play jokey warning jingles before playing anything that could be considered offensive - not everyone comes to the shoutbox to see the disclaimer warning so this is a good step and reminds the listener to tune away if they have sensitive ears ;) perhaps someone in the community could make up a generic jingle for this purpose? or perhaps nyte or spike would like to share theirs on the jingle exchange?
Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=3133&BoardID=3 Thanks for those, having not presented a show I wanted to see what was allowed. I wasn't thinking of swearing during my show, more whether I could play uncensored songs.
Posted by Edward Drummond ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=3133&BoardID=3 does to many swear words in the songs alienate listeners?? I think a presenter constantly swearing is a turn off and wouldn't be tolerated or have much of an audience. Yet comedy moments and music are accepted. With us being a world community we are never going to have a watershed time cause of timezones, but i think we should be aware of the ears that are listening. Even though the younger ones have heard it all before. I'm a big fan of uncensored broadcasting but still think we have a reponsibility to keep things in context.

Posted by DJ nytefyre ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=3133&BoardID=3 yeah, this disclaimer message should be sufficient. you can set it in profile, default show details
Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=3133&BoardID=3 I looked for this, apologies if it has already been discussed, but is there a consensus on this? some songs contain the odd swear word, some are full of them, are they all a no no, or are they ok after a certain time or if there is a disclaimer or warning that the show may contain songs which contain swearing. any thoughts?

Posted by Chris Matthews ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=3077&BoardID=3 First of all, thanks for those who listened in this afternoon to my St David's Day show. For those of you that were in the Shoutbox, you will realise that I had to work this afternoon so couldn't appear "live", so recorded the show a couple of days ago to play out today. I've just had a nose through the Shoutbox and there seems to be an underlying theme that my show was broadcast twice in a row. Can anyone out there confirm if this was the case as the intention was for it just to be broadcast from 16:00 GMT this afternoon, and there are comments along the lines of the fact that exactly the same tracks etc. were played in the previous hour. Can anyone let me know what happened, as having not been there at the time I'm a bit confused :(

Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=3078&BoardID=3 I was told about this really good free iPod app that lets you listen to 1radio on your iPod touch / iPhone. Streamitall is free from iTunes store and works perfect but one slight drawback, it doesn't show 'what's playing' or play in the background unless you buy an upgrade, £0.59p. I have bought that for my nephews iPod and it is really great. He can now listen to 1radio anywhere there is a wifi connection, yes even on the crapper lol. One note, if you have an early ipod touch model you will need to buy the upgrade for that to get apps working. That is £2.99 and again I had to purchase that for my nephew.

Posted by Gaz ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=2920&BoardID=3 i did an elvis special on or around his birthday.I think it went down well i have since repeated it on jtv to great effect. That was more of a documentary though. I think 1 artist or matbe 2 half hour each would be good listening. I have an MJ,Kate Bush,pink floyd and peter Gabrial in the can for such an occasion. But an interesting point is what is the definition of a legend??

Posted by Spike Hammond ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=2920&BoardID=3 I think it would be possible for a DJ to do a single artist or maybe up to 3 in one show. Of course if it is to be a days event then we would need some way of finding out who is covering what artists. Gaz also had the idea of a show of all male or all female legends. I could do a day purely on Elvis Presley songs or Buddy Holly. A show of possible future legends would be interesting as well.

Posted by Spike Hammond ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=2920&BoardID=3 sounds like a good idea. does each show focus on ONE artist only? I would suggest so, otherwise, i think its hard to distinguish the event from any other. many people have their own view of what constitutes a legend - and thats not an issue as such - but 10 or 15 different "legends" in one show sounds like a normal show to me.

Each DJ can choose the format but all the artists must be legends, such as Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison and so on. You could have Legends of Rock, Soul, Pop, Disco or of a particular era, 50's, 60's 70's etc. Any thoughts on this?

To underline that point, here is a message that I recently received... "As a listener and chatting in the shoutbox, how do you think it looks to me when other dj’s are there and criticize each other? Do you think it makes me want to invite my friends to listen? As a listener, how do you think it looks to me when dj’s give each other negatives out of spite instead of a positive out of good sportsmanship? And sometimes without even listening. As a listener, I can't post in the forums but I can read them—and I do often. What do you think I think when I constantly see dj's bickering?"

I am not playing the usual suspects, Buddy Holly, Elvis Presley, Gene Vincent etc. but some rare music from the pioneers of rock 'n' roll, such as the Cadets and Big Joe Turner. I have been putting this off because I was worried I may not any listeners but I love this music so much at least I will enjoy it. If it weren't for many of these artists there would have been no Beatles, Rolling Stones or modern music as we know it today. In fact the BBC would still be playing Rosemary Clooney's 'This ol' house' and David Whitfield.

Posted by DJ Ceejay ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=2727&BoardID=3 I've just had a look at the UK singles chart for December 1st 1954. Number 1 was Winifred Atwell - Let's Have Another Party, with tracks from David Whitfield, Rosemary Clooney, Vera Lynn and Doris Day amongst others in the Top 10. To be honest, I don't have any of those tracks and it may be difficult to get hold of some, though it would make for an interesting show! However, if you have a wedding day or any other date that means a lot to you, let me know.
Posted by Chris Matthews ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=2720&BoardID=3 This sounds like a great idea for a show but could I suggest maybe doing two top 10 shows? This could be an idea if this picks up and you get a lot of dates from various people. My birthday is December 1954 and having looked at the charts for that month / year there isn't much in the way of Popular music. Maybe if I had been born 2 years later you could have a good ol' rock 'n' roll show :)
Posted by DJ Ceejay ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=2720&BoardID=3 Hi there As you may know, I have been hosting my Box of Records show on and off on Saturday's for the past nine months, and I am looking to expand my repertoire. I'm looking into presenting and producing a new show called "This Is Your Chart", where listeners / fellow 1radio DJs let me know their date of birth in advance. I then play the top 20 UK singles chart in an hour long show for the week they were born. The idea could also stretch to your wedding day, graduation, in fact any day that has meant something special to you in your life. The show is likely to be pre-recorded and slotted in either on an evening or weekend slot. If anyone would like to be a guinea pig for this new slot, please let me know via email: chris@boxofrecords.co.uk The first show will hopefully go out in March. Thanks Chris
Posted by Chris Matthews ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=2720&BoardID=3 if you are correctly streaming artist and song titles, then the now playing page will show the currently playing song and a link to further artist info from last.fm. if you wish, you can now disable this artist info link in your default show details in your profile. You'll still be able to view and search artist info in the DJ pages (click on song history, info to use it) but it wont be displayed on the now playing page. This functionality is useful if, like me, you sometimes want to talk about artists and bands without the listeners clicking through to the same information themselves. :)
Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=2716&BoardID=3 For anyone with the poll manager included in their DJ account, there are a couple of minor changes that have now been made.

Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=2715&BoardID=3 btw, another strangeness is that people sometimes come to chat in the shoutbox yet dont listen at all. you can see this for yourself by clicking the shoutbox users | whos listening and see who from the current shoutbox is actually listening. i regularlylike to test that by talking to or about the person on air and see if they respond in the shoutbox. you'll also hear me name people who are listening but have not posted in the shoutbox. its just my way of smoking them out :) also, if a listener is marked as UNKNOWN, its because they have not yet posted anything in the shoutbox. simples.
Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=2628&BoardID=3 not sure what you mean. if you have a listener, they will always be counted. however, the 1radio system polls the shoutcast listener stats every 60 seconds. so, if someone came and listened for say only 30s, its possible they might get missed and not counted.

Posted by Rhodders ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=2628&BoardID=3 With some presenters living over the borders in Scotland and Wales and many others around Europe and North America I can't see a meeting being a viable proportion. A much easier way would be to set a time and date and open a room on http://www.mebeam.com This allows up to 16 webcams to connect for a video conference. It is a completely free service with no sign ups, however once the room isn't in use it is no longer available so Tim or whoever creates the room would need to be there for the duration of the meeting. This is one way for any DJ's to meet up without any expenses.
Posted by DJ Ceejay ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=2668&BoardID=3 Now since I have a few months of 1Radio experience under my belt (and about 50+ DJs have at least a year of 1Radio experience), I think we should get all the DJs to meet up. Now I know that Liverpool was suggested as a place to meet, but still, where shall we meet and when? Now as long as I can catch a train from my rail station after 10am to get there, I can use my railcard and get a third off my rail fare. So, when and where shall we meet is what I'm asking? I'm eager to meet my fellow presenters. However, I would like to stress that in this meet up, if you are scared of going on your own, you are permitted to bring a friend with you. This is something I'll be doing myself to ensure I feel confident enough to go.

Posted by DJ martin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=2648&BoardID=3 someone asked a question about why SAM Broadcaster and the Shoutcast server itself often show a different number of listeners to the number that appears in the dj panel. if you have 2 or more people listening on the same IP address, SAM and Shoutcast will include them all in the grand total of listeners. it will also show the number of unique listeners (ie total number of unique ip addresses) which maybe less than the grand total. the dj panel and show stats are based on total unique listeners and not the grand total. why? because some DJs open multiple players to make their listener number look better ;) so to avoid false figures and to stop people inflating their numbers, the dj panel only counts unique listeners the downside of this approach is that if you have many people listening in your house or if there is a group of people listening from say an office or another organisation where the IP address is shared, then they will only get counted once. from experience, the number of people listening at one location is never more than 2 or 3, so it doesnt make much difference anyway. hope that explains things!

However, as soon as I heard the jingle that we have to play, I decided not to bother. Have a listen and you'll understand why... http://vakart.org.uk/download/PROMO_3_BW_2009.mp3 Anyway, I noticed that the Mystery Listener tuned in on 8th Dec. Coz I didnt tell anyone about it, the DJ didnt know what was required. Heres the shoutbox from that show.... 04:00 Tez - Welcome! 04:01 Broadcasting World - The Mystery Listener is tuning in right now! 04:05 Tez - Leave a funny message,shout out, or anything.

Posted by Gaz ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=2476&BoardID=3 Ok I've noticed that there are some people not turning up for their slots. I've had to takeover an inactive slot because they didn't show up. Please guys, I know you can't unbook the slots, but make an effort. I would appreciate that, and I'm sure Tim would too. This is a special and 1Radio listeners are counting on you to turn up :)
Posted by DJ Paladinleeds ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=2476&BoardID=3 Correction: there are the links to the flash player and desktop player there, however they could be more prominent. The relatively large images for WMP, WinAmp/iTunes, and RealPlayer with a little smaller text give them a higher position on the visual heirarchy than the small text-only images for the compact/extended flash player and desktop player. The desktop player at least needs to be put on a par with the WMP, WA, and RP on the visual heirarchy.
Posted by DJ Paladinleeds ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=2465&BoardID=3 I have noticed that there is no link to the Desktop Player on there. I appreciate that the Flash Player isn't on there (I'm guilty of this, directing them to the flash player just before the other person's show ends and then I get hounded by people asking why they can't hear anything. I tell them to refresh and that keeps em happy!). Maybe as a suggestion you could build the flash player in to have a playlist similar to the desktop player/media players. This would also ensure that listeners stay connected at the end of a show.
Posted by DJ Paladinleeds ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=2465&BoardID=3 oops sorry i was guilty of this tonight, I have taken notice of this however for future. sorry
Posted by Gaz ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=2465&BoardID=3 When you are getting people to listen, please avoid sending them to the server directly with http://spring.wavestreamer.com:8863/listen.pls This doesnt help us track listeners and also means the person is disconnected at the end of the slot. The best link for people to use is http://dj.1radio.org/listen/ - this lets them choose from all the possible options and ensures they stay connected after the show ends.
Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=2465&BoardID=3 yeah, no shows are reaching a peak again. to be fair, alot of time its new djs who rush in and book a slot without first checking they know what they are doing. nevertheless, the system is strictly enforcing bans. if you accrue 3 no shows, you will be off air for one week.
Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=2457&BoardID=3 no worries... i do actually test these things before implementing them ;)
Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=2441&BoardID=3 I noticed a hell of a lot of no shows over the past week or so. I know its the holiday period and things are subject to change especially at the last minute, but guys and gals, surely you can cancel your show if you know your not going to make it, even if its a few minutes before the show.
Posted by Gaz ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=2457&BoardID=3 Catch me on Skype, I'll see what I can do for you. I do have a 2 hour slot booked on New Years Day and it might be worth me cutting it down to a 1 hour slot (you'll be on before me though)
Posted by DJ Paladinleeds ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=2428&BoardID=3 At the request of a few djs, there is now an additional option in the profile | notifications page that lets you get notified when a no show occurs. Obviously, you must already have takeover premium service on your account for this to be useful otherwise you can't actually take the slot thats been abandoned. The slot standby function is unaffected by this change and works as normal - alerting you when slots are cancelled at short notice.
Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=2441&BoardID=3 i've added a couple more options on the now playing page when you are on air. You can find them under the more link. 1Radio tweets - shows all recent tweets that mention 1Radio. Who's listening - shows whos connected to the shoutcast server by name (assuming they have previously posted something in the shoutbox). Another feature that people may not have spotted is artist bio in the song history. If you are accurately streaming your MP3 tags, then you should be able to view the songs you've played and view corresponding artist bio info for each. This is useful for people who like to talk about the artists they feature. There is also an integrated search so that you can look up any other artist info in real time. The data is sourced from last.fm.

I'm crud at it and can't even find the time to podcast my own shows. I've got a backlog of about 20 Confessional shows to podcast. Then need to submit them to podbean and then iTunes.
Posted by DJ Paladinleeds ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=2378&BoardID=3 we already do this for long established DJs for special events. its not a general service. its done via FTP and not through the DJ pages since file sizes are too large to upload through the browser we may provide a more general or premium service in the future thats open to all DJs. watch this space.
Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=2378&BoardID=3 Hi all, just a little off topic but I had this idea that we could somehow submit a pre-recorded show to the server and it will play it at your booked timeslot. This would be good as if the slot that you want isn't available, you could record your show and have it automatically play at the different timeslot??? This could also be a way of filling up empty slots? If this is not possible, could a feature be added to your now playing panel, so if you did a pre-recorded show (and were broadcasting the file through SAM, the listeners would know it was a pre-record and the requests and shouts would be disabled? Feedback very welcome, tell me what you think of this :)
Posted by DJ Javo ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=2378&BoardID=3 My thinking was that DJs could submit what they consider to be their "best bits" and someone (maybe a different DJ each week), would assemble all the bits into a 20 minute podcast.

Posted by Gaz ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=2233&BoardID=3 the fact is, paladin has not been treated fairly and properly. on the contrary, i have given him more breaks than any other dj. i allowed and encouraged him to broadcast when all he could do was moan, threaten to quit, interrupt everybody elses show and generally cause disquiet. he quit multiple times and rightly or wrongly i let him back. therefore, its quite fair to say his treatment has not been equal to anyone else otherwise i would have completely removed him from the site a long time ago. now, i will make no further comment about paladin regarding this topic. anyone else who does will be prevented from posting on the forums.

Posted by Lady T ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=2088&BoardID=3 I have noticed this problem too. I saw like 3pm-7pm on Fridays, all one show. I think there needs to be a loophole closed, so that you cannot have more than 2 hours booked within any 8 hour period (on top of the no more than 2 hours per day). That will close this loophole. Just my 2 cents.
Posted by DJ Paladinleeds ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=1965&BoardID=3 As you know, DJs are only allowed to broadcast for up to 2 hours in one day. This is to prevent saturation of a particular show type or genre and to give more people opportunity to broadcast. I've noticed that people sometimes book 10pm til midnite THEN midnite til 2am of the next day for a show lasting FOUR HOURS! Although this is technically NOT breaking any rules, it IS greedy and a little unfair to other DJs wanting to broadcast. To ensure fair and reasonable booking, please DO NOT exploit this loophole. If you desperately want to broadcast for more than the allowed amount of time, consider purchasing the slot takeover premium service that will allow you to broadcast in unused or abandoned slots when no one else is wanting to DJ. Thanks for your support. Tim

Posted by Mark & Tom ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=1865&BoardID=3 your encoder should have a setting where you can save the stream as it is broadcasting, simplecast is a free encoder from spacial audio (available on the spacial audio website) and is the same encoder used by sam broadcaster. you can record your stream by going to encoders, double clicking the stream you've set up for 1radio , go to stream archive and checking save stream to file (this is also the same for the winamp plugin)

Posted by Matt ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=1798&BoardID=3 @ Gaz - a -3 rate is a good sign. At least 3 people envy your show and hence, you are doing great!!!
Posted by DJ Leo Bee ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=1798&BoardID=3 Must admit, i don't mind getting the odd negative, I use it to motivate me do better next time. I honestly hadn't thought about peopel doing it out of spire. Oh well, it still doesn't bother me.
Posted by DJ Ghost ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=1798&BoardID=3 Wanna know something Gaz, I don't pay attention to the listenercount. It tends to just blend into the background for me. I don't give a flying f*** about ratings, and for my listenercount, I look at SAMBC because that picks up EVERY listener, 1Radio doesn't. So it's OK for me. They wanna be asses and negative rate, let them. Shows how sad or jealous they are.
Posted by DJ Paladinleeds ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=1798&BoardID=3 I agree with either of your two options Tim, I have stepped away from 1radio for a bit due to the -ve ratings, i know you say not too read to much into it, but when you have 0 listeners and -3 its demotivates....
Posted by Gaz ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=1798&BoardID=3 @ DJ P - you should be VERY happy with a -15. People are listening to your show. The highest listener count I got was maybe 5 or 6. Also, a true broadcaster is not measured by the number of people he/she pleased (read - kissed _ _ _ ).
Posted by DJ Leo Bee ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=1798&BoardID=3 On another note, I gave negative ratings not because I am envious but I just want to tease the DJ. I think I even negative rated myself just to see how it goes. I wonder if + ratings from people who are not even listening should be counted too because this is even worse than a - rating. Or shall we reexamine the wisdom of having that function?
Posted by DJ Leo Bee ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=1798&BoardID=3 Each Friday, the system automatically gives credits for most shows, highest ratings etc. It could be fun to have the system remove credits for DJs who persistently vote -ve without actually listening. Or I could just publish a chart of the worst offenders. :)
Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=1798&BoardID=3 As this topic keeps popping up and people are feeling quite discouraged, I did a bit of research into the -ve rating habits of people. Sadly, most -ve ratings are given not by listeners but by 1Radio DJs. In particular, 5 DJs have each posted over 200 negs. Another is in the 100s and one other up to 50. Of course, its fine to express your opinion - but the votes counted were only those given when the voter wasnt actually listening - which can only be an act of spite right? On a happier note, I'm pleased to say the majority of DJs post only positives.
Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=1798&BoardID=3 That is a very interesting way of looking at it Leo. I only took negative ratings seriously when I got -15 and Gaz started joking saying I'm gonna get banned for the worst rated show. I took it seriously, but he wasn't being serious. So yeah, we're safe :) Remember, many people will negative rate a show they like because they wish they could do a show like yours. So they like it, but at the same time they're jealous. Which is what Leo tried to say I believe.
Posted by DJ Paladinleeds ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=1798&BoardID=3 If you have a negative rating, take it POSITIVELY because: 1. If they rated you negatively and they actually listened - then be thankful for it since people actually listen to your show. 2. If they rated you negatively and they ARE NOT listening - again be thankful for it because it shows you are doing great that someone is actually envious of your show. What we should actually feel bad about is WHEN PEOPLE DON'T RATE. It means they don't care. :)
Posted by DJ Leo Bee ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=1798&BoardID=3 i've promoted helpsy and rhodders shows in the past. after you've established your show over a few weeks, i will take a listen and decide whether or not to promote it.
Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=815&BoardID=3 I'm just wondering, would The Confessional count under this. I mean it's not exactly a "special" show (in the regard that I do it on a weekly basis), but it is a talk show, and we do different subjects. Much like Rhodders and Helpsy. Would that make us 3 eligible for use in the newsletter?
Posted by DJ Paladinleeds ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=815&BoardID=3 And also, some DJs get rated negative (and sometimes positive) before they've even started their broadcast. As Tim said, don't take ratings too seriously, as some listeners also positive rate without even listening.
Posted by DJ Paladinleeds ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=1798&BoardID=3 I've commented on this before but its worth mentioning it again.... Please dont take the ratings too seriously. Ratings were only ever intended for a bit of fun and for injecting a little competitive spirit into proceedings. If you get +ve ratings, be pleased and maybe enjoy winning extra credits. If you get a +ve then people are obviously approving of what you do. If you get -ve, dont take it too seriously and dont acknowledge it on air or in the shoutbox. People often vote -ve without even listening - a drive-by neg if you will ;). I've even noticed people saying good things in the shoutbox yet vote with -ve. So i guess its spite. If people have a "real" opinion on your show - they will post something (good or bad) in the shoutbox. This is the best indicator of what people "really" think. Ratings are useful but you need to take them with a pinch of salt.

Posted by DJ Paladinleeds ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=1774&BoardID=3 Perhaps DJs can ask to be swapped out due to technical difficulties, or maybe you can get it so that it doesn't count as a no-show if a DJ is kicked off air by a moderator.
Posted by DJ Paladinleeds ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=1752&BoardID=3 we can detect if they abandon the show due to low listener count because they won't be taking over again after they first disconnect. Only serious broadcasters due to technical reasons re-take over after a disconnection. also, they seem to stay on the shoutbox at the end of their show. (so maybe, these are the safeguards - taking over again after a disconnection and staying on the shoutbox for the rest of the time booked.)
Posted by DJ Leo Bee ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=1752&BoardID=3 the difficulty is that some DJs just quit mid way through a show if there are no or few listeners etc. this is why i made it count as a no show. anyway, its a complex thing i need to give some thought to.
Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=1752&BoardID=3 however, i request, that the cancellation due to technical issue (DJ is present) should not be counted in the 3 no show rule since technically the DJ is there except that due to some technical glitch, he is prevented from bcasting. please dont get me wrong, i am not appealing by suspension which i am serving now. heheehe. but i think there should be a difference in treatment. thanks. - DJ Leo Bee on suspension. i cant log in to my account.

Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=1752&BoardID=3 Thanks Admin, because you had a slot cancelled (no show) then took over the same slot. - I tried to take over at the top of the hour sir. Maybe its because of my 3rd no show/cancelled but my 3rd no show happened an hour before that so I shouldn't have been allowed to continue and take over that hour. for ex. - hour 1 - take over, then 1 cancel/no show, then re take over; hour 2 - TO again, then 2nd cancel/no show, then take over again; hour 3 - TO, then 3rd no show, but TO again; hr4 -cant TO.

Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=1752&BoardID=3 I believe its because you had a slot cancelled (no show) then took over the same slot.

Posted by DJ Leo Bee ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=1752&BoardID=3 You can only take over the slot if there is no other human DJ on (so if there's any show saying On Air Now, that's classed as a human DJ, and hence you cannot take over).

Posted by DJ Leo Bee ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=1744&BoardID=3 The performance of the 1Radio website has been a bit flakey lately, which is mostly to do with a massive increase in visitor traffic. Despite this, the shoutcast server (the thing that transmits your radio show) is rock solid and performs normally even when the website slows down or goes offline completely. Even if the website is crawling, this will not affect the performance of the shoutcast server. Therefore, if you experience problems when broadcasting, its likely to be an issue with YOUR broadband connection or broadcast software and NOT the server. As a rule, try not to surf around whilst you stream, and definitely dont download large files, mail attachments or start streaming other stuff. Always switch off Peer2Peer software. I would even suggest you dont listen to your own stream! Likewise if you use stickam or other video sites - this WILL impact your stream if you dont have enough bandwidth. Another source of problems is if your upload speed is capped by your ISP - this can occur in the evenings or at peak times or if your ISP believes you are a file-sharer who hogs resources. In this case, try changing your encoding settings from 64kbps to something smaller. The only significant problem experienced with the shoutcast server is if the password doesnt change correctly at the top of the hour. If this happens and you get a "invalid password" error when trying to broadcast, go to your broadcast settings page and click the "force password change" button. This error occurs only rarely and usually if there is a problem with the 1Radio server - it would only ever occur at the start of your slot, never in the middle of the show for example. If your stream fails, or starts to buffer - stop encoding for a short while then start again. Close unwanted programs (as these consume CPU) and check nothing is downloading in the background (such as P2P files, virus software updates etc). If you still have problems broadcasting, let me know the date and time and I will check the shoutcast server log for any clues as to what might be wrong.

Posted by DJ Paladinleeds ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=1734&BoardID=3 I would say allow takeover refunds if the show is unbooked 2-6 hours before going on air. I think that would be fair.
Posted by DJ Paladinleeds ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=1714&BoardID=3 If you cancel a slot more than 6 hours before its due, your credit is instantly refunded. If you cancel with less than 6 hours, your credit is only refunded if someone else subsequently books the slot. I've noticed that people are regularly cancelling 15 mins or less before the show (after they receive the reminder email). So from now on, refunds will only be given if someone subsquently books the slot with a credit. If the cancelled slot is taken over, the credit will no longer be refunded.

For example, I had a great response from my Christian Rock "theme" on Sunday, so I wanted to try to keep the same slot(s) each Sunday and always keep the "theme" so that My (our) listeners can "count" on having that to look forward to. As I started looking at some of our DJ's, they seem to already be doing that. I am just trying to have a "schedule" of "themes" so that listeners can "count" on that genre on those days.
Posted by DJ Tez ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=1667&BoardID=3 Welcome to "The Family". Let me show you around. First off we got Baby P (not the one who got killed), Uncle Tim, Auntie Nyte, Brother Rhod, Daddy Ricky, Mother Teresa, Sister Laura, Concierge Helps and etc. So you're suggesting each presenter does ONE theme for all their shows? Or one theme per 24 hours? I like the ambition and ideas, but one theme for every show for one presenter might get a bit dull. But if you mean the one theme per 24 hours I would support that idea. Just MY opinions tho.
Posted by Helpsy ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=1667&BoardID=3 Just a midnight so excited concept thinking mind. I am thinking to get as many people as possible to book theme broadcasts in the same day/same timeslot (kind of like TV shows) to get the listening audience acclimated to a schedule. I am trying to pursue this as so far NO TWO shows of mine have been the same theme and I have been blessed with some impressive stats (for a newbe) and wondering if I am on a good concept here. I'm just SO stoked right now due to broadcasting with THIS FAMILY.

I'm gonna try and get a few of my friends to listen, specifically. A few friends from school, ask them to ask their friends. If you spread the word far and wide, people will listen. I know my friends are eagerly awaiting The Confessional (yes I am gonna try that, absolutely bricking it atm though!)

But I get your point Gaz, it is quite annoying when you see 0 listeners, and when no-one chats in the shoutbox. Most of my crowd has gone AWOL due to the fact I've effectively gone MIA. Don't worry, if any specific DJ has trouble with listenercounts when I get back, give me a shout, and I'll start promoting your shows on my Bebo, MySpace, Facebook, and Twitter for a bit.

Posted by Gaz ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=1610&BoardID=3 Does it (listener count and rating) really matter? :) In most, if not all, of my 44 shows here, I only have Teresa and one + rating from her. This is over and above the +1 rating I gave myself. :) I only take comfort in the fact that the one listener I have is enjoying my show. That I wouldn't exchange for a 100 listener count or a +100 rating.

Posted by Matt ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=1610&BoardID=3 i know what you mean gaz , When I first started my plan of action was to get to know all the other DJs and get in with their crowds , if that DJ is around during your show then it's probable that some of his/her followers & friends will stick around too , if you do that with as many DJs you can then you're all good, but it doesn't last forever , I think that's harder to do now though with there being so many more DJs, best thing to do is to be around during as many shows as you can.

Posted by Helpsy ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=1609&BoardID=3 The first one makes sense with 8 votes and 8 listeners. But 14 and 8 makes no sense at all to me. It may also be that you max out at 8. So I may have 6 listeners on average and people will pop in and listen for a few then leave and vote or as Tim said, people vote without even listening.
Posted by DJ Gustin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=1610&BoardID=3 some people vote without actually listening - this is often a spite thing as i see them write +ve comments in the shoutbox yet give a -ve vote. in other instances, some people vote +ve just to be encouraging - tho i've seen it happen when the DJ hasnt even started broadcasting yet (funnier still when the dj goes on to no show!) others manipulate their own ratings by using multiple IP addresses.

Posted by Matt ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=1501&BoardID=3 As much as I appreciate the system, I've slowed down on takeovers a lot. The way I once did it was book 9am-11am, and if I was up at 8am, login and takeover (from the AutoDJ), and do a 3 hour show. It used to work a treat :)
Posted by DJ Paladinleeds ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=1501&BoardID=3 a takeover only works for the current hour. its not until the next hour has started and no one has booked it that you can do a takeover. so doing multiple takeovers isnt actually preventing anyone else its simply picking up the slack. HOWEVER, if you have done a takeover, it would be polite to perhaps hold back on taking over another slot to at least let someone else use their takeover if they want. if still nothing after say 10 mins, then feel free to do another takeover. would that work?
Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=1501&BoardID=3 Actually I disagree. What about early in the morning? When there's nobody on? Why not fill up the schedule then, instead of that boring old AutoDJ?

Posted by Matt ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=1065&BoardID=3 you both make valid points - i have been thinking abt this already. one "automated" solution might be to stagger how soon someone can takeover according to how many they have already done. for example, if you have taken over already, you cant takeover again til 10 past etc. then others would get a look in also if people were competing for takeover. would that work?
Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=1065&BoardID=3 it isn't gonna make you any friends! , maybe a fair use policy could be applied to the slot takeover service rather than automaticaly limiting everybody, because for 1 if your the only person available to take over a slot but u've already reached the limit, then the whole point of slot takeover is then useless.
Posted by Matt ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=1065&BoardID=3 I think it's more upto the DJ it take responsibilty and be fair, there can be sometimes competition when it comes to taking over but I don't think making a preset limit on the number of slot takeovers is the solution. I think its just upto the 1radio staff to just keep tabs on who's doing what and how often, for example sitting at the dj homepage at 4mins past pressing F5 until the message appears everytime a no show is about to occur shouldn't be acceptable, its not against the rules but....
Posted by Matt ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=1065&BoardID=3 I would like to propose a limit to the amount of slot takeovers that you can do in a week similat to the autobooking. Some people are doing up to 4 or more hours per day (i myself have done this once, however the slots seems to be filling up nicely now and i do feel that it can be overkill if the same DJ is on for say 4 hours in a row etc, perhaps we can do 1 slot takeover per 12 hour period, it would then allow others a chance. Also some slots have been taken over and an autodj has played :(
Posted by DJ Gaz ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=1065&BoardID=3 To make things fairer, I propose to limit the number of autobookings to 4 per week for any DJ. This wont affect the majority of people using autobooking as the avg is 2 slots per week. If you have more than 4 autobooked slots, please remove those you are prepared to give up.
Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=1056&BoardID=3 I've just deleted most of my autobookings to free up some space (and ubooked slots already booked by it for the next month) , I think i've been a bit selfish with it rly, I think other DJs with a lot of bookings through the week should do the same
Posted by Matt ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=1056&BoardID=3 I've noticed some people use autobooking then regularly cancel that slot in the hours preceding their show. if this happens often, the system will now move your autobooking down the pecking order - so, anyone else who has autobooked the same slot as you will now get first refusal of the slot. this is being introduced to prevent people regularly holding onto a popular slot for a whole month with autobooking then not actually using it.

Posted by DJ ricky rodgers ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=948&BoardID=3 its not a rule set in stone - but just a courtesy. some people replay their prerecorded shows on 1radio week after week and never ever mention 1Radio. they advertise their facebook, website, email etc etc without ever saying the station that is playing their show. its not hard to break a show into chunks and play jingles between or play jingles over the top. at the end of the day, people can do what they want but it would be nice to have some unity/consistency in the sound

Posted by DJ Paladinleeds ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=405&BoardID=3 SOME of your jingles should promote 1Radio, to help reinforce our name and to sound like a credible, consistent station - of course, you can have your own jingles, promote your own website if you have one etc etc - but at least show 1Radio some courtesy and include our name in your jingles as your show is being broadcast here.

Last weekend we promoted Sven's indie show using this list and had our largest number of listeners to date. If you are long standing member of 1Radio (having done more than 50 shows) and would like to promote a special show through this list, then let us know. You need to tell us - the title of your show - date and time (GMT) - a brief description - what makes the show different from the rest - why people should listen Note - we WONT use this list to promote your regular show. To be promoted, you need to demonstrate you are producing a "special" show where you will provide something more than back to back music - eg chat between songs with authority, interest and knowledge, run contests, include invited guests, receive calls during the show etc If your show is suitable, we will work with you to create a special advert for posting on Facebook, Myspace and elsewhere and will send it to our distribution list. Contact promote@1radio.org for more info.

Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=744&BoardID=3 Is how I syndicate my Friday and Hospital radio show ok?
Posted by Rhodders ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=744&BoardID=3 Some people broadcast shows that are also syndicated on other web radio stations, podcast directories etc. Whilst I have no problem with this in principle, it would be good if you include some 1Radio imaging within your show when it airs here. This is easy to do if you break your audio file into chunks and insert 1Radio jingles or custom spoken links between them once or twice during the show and at the start and finish. Syndication is a common practice and you'll obviously want to keep your show fairly neutral so it may be reused in many places. However, it helps improve awareness of 1Radio if you at least mention the station name once in a while - which shouldnt be too much to ask given you are playing it out here! Thanks for your support.
Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=744&BoardID=3 Some people have asked about multicasting/simulcasting - ie broadcasting your programme to multiple radio station sites at the same time. YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO MULTICAST/SIMULCAST WITHOUT PERMISSION. I would prefer that people do NOT multicast their 1Radio shows as it can lead to problems with station owners fighting for prominence, wanting their name, website etc advertised within the show. If you are given permission to multicast, your show should be neutral OR should give equal prominence to 1Radio and the other station's identity in your jingles, spoken links between the songs etc. However, you should NOT provide links to the other site in the shoutbox or in your show description and bio. If you wish to multicast your show on 1Radio and one or more other stations, please contact me for approval FIRST. Shows that are simulcast without permission may be cancelled and accounts closed. NOTE - This does NOT apply to video sites such as stickam, justin.tv or ustream. These rules apply to broadcasting on internet radio stations only.
Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=743&BoardID=3 Some djs are regularly quitting their shows before the end of their slot if they have few or no listeners. Whilst I appreciate its discouraging broadcasting to no one but your cat, you need to remember a few things... - some people listen via other means (relays, proxies, FB radio player, Myspace etc) and its not always possible to show these in the DJ panel listener count - are your transmitting your song and genre info? if not, you could be losing random listeners who tune into the station based purely on artist, song or genre - are you doing all you can to promote your show ahead of time or simply relying on listeners to show up? - could it be something about the music you play or your presentation style that turns listeners away? - are you attentive to people in the shoutbox and replying to messages? DJs are never penalised for no listeners or poor ratings. Its a matter of personal/professional pride whether you use your slot to the full even when no one is listening. Please remember that if you quit a show ahead of time, you wont receive a free credit and you will rack up another no show.

Posted by DJ Richard ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=434&BoardID=3 very good point to Tim, lately I have been starting closer to 9 that previously usually no later than 9:10 Part of the reason I like 1radio is because I only have a limited amount of time so I start quicker, when I was just on stickam I would start really late. It's a vicious cycle, I start late because the listeners tune in late and vice versa!

Posted by Rhodders ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=416&BoardID=3 Hi Gavin. Welcome to 1radio. You can use your own jingles/imaging etc so long as they promote 1Radio in someway. The frontpage promos are set up after someone has done a few shows. They appear randomly in the hours before a show is due to be aired. I create the promos/texts myself but if you have a particular idea, image or description you want to be used, send it to admin@1radio.org and I will see if its usable.
Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=405&BoardID=3 Hi everyone - I've just done my first show and was wondering if we can use our own jingles and also, how do you go about getting your show promoted against the blue backdrop on the homepage? Any advice most appreciated. Gavin Blunt.

Posted by WhiteLight ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=263&BoardID=3 just to clarify, if you dont start broadcasting within 5 minutes of your start time, the shoutcast server switches to auto dj and your slot is cancelled. likewise, if in your show you go off air for 5 minutes or more, again your slot is cancelled and the auto dj activates. when a slot is cancelled, you are not able to restart and you lose the credit.

Varkart provide a free-for-all broadcasting system, which is second to none. The least peeps could do is give more respect. This is a relatively new platform enabling would-be broadcasters to hone their craft, and learn from others, without the need of patrolling hospital wards, to bully song requests from dribbling geriatrics. Nothing wrong with hospital radio, if you like the smell of urine and cabbage. Move to part II.

Posted by DJ Vakart ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=131&BoardID=3 ran out of space in my last post!- I also think these show promos should be available in the imaging section for DJs to play them on their shows should they wish to do so.
Posted by Rhodders ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=131&BoardID=3 I've noticed that when nobody has booked slots the auto-DJ plays tunes, this is a brilliant idea to make station seemed more active. I suggest that the autopilot should play some 1radio singles so people know who they are listening to. ALSO I think members should be encouraged to make promos (short adverts) for their radio shows. The auto-DJ could play throughout the day. This would encourage people who accidentally tune to come back to listen to a real show.
