@carlosradioguy @Trevor_Horn_ Have you listened to the ‘Echoes’ album from 3 years ago? If not, it’s worth a listen!

@SteveBulleyUK Still wearing Martin’s headphones @SteveBulleyUK 🤣

@iainlee I think it was inevitable, the terrible bit happened many years ago when large regional regions were allowed.
This gives an opportunity for community radio, with some relaxation of rules proposed to help make them more viable.

@thisismattcrabb @bauermedia @hitsradiouk Well done Matt

[Tim Ley @timley]

@imalexwatson @matt I’d love to think they’d go to this length, but I very much doubt it, especially considering they still have issues with regional frequency AF codes on the now GHR… in places it switches between Hits and GHR as the AF is still using former SAM fm AF lists!

@UKAirband another outage in EX32 and no way to contact you out of hours, this is beyond a joke

@gm0hcq Happy retirement

[Tim Ley @timley]

@carlosradioguy @AdventuresVw I still have a tray full of discarts which, funnily enough, I can’t play!

[Tim Ley @timley]

@carlosradioguy @rossie7dj @heart70s That’s quite a drive, you must have loved the M4!

[Tim Ley @timley]

@carlosradioguy @rossie7dj @heart70s Nice! Always loved the Air2000 🤣🤣

[Tim Ley @timley]

@SteveBulleyUK What you’d have given for one of those 20 years ago!

@DanJennings1975 @Kerijonesradio After this there features a great sausage test… enjoy those loose beans Dan 🤣

@VickiBlight That’s terrible Vicki, sorry to hear you had to experience this. Sending love x

@simonhardwick My understanding was that the normal issues with mobile networks are mitigated with the emergency broadcast - it’s a one to many push and all devices within that cell receive the message. But it does rely on the cell having power and to be functional, which I guess is your point?

[Tim Ley @timley]

@helen_foden Yes, you’re correct! It compensates for the fact the car is noisier when you’re going faster

@ruskin147 @Google I think others have said it - BBC is moving like other content providers/broadcasters in disaggregation of content - making it available only on iPlayer or Sounds…

[Tim Ley @timley]

@carlosradioguy @Andrew_SW @heart70s That’s a parenting win 🥇

[Tim Ley @timley]

@thisismattcrabb Congratulations Matt

@Kerijonesradio It seems quite hit and miss. They have the tech and do use it, split ids etc. I’ve not heard it used for split links though, I get the feeling that would be many steps too far for them 🤣
