BBC 6MUSIC

Andrew Collins sits in for George Lamb, plus Ben and Alexander from the Armstrong and Miller Show drop in.

DJ may speak over the intro to a TRACK, let it play for a handful of seconds and sepak again. there's often a blurred lin where speech ends and the track begins. For the record I've counted this all as SPPECH until the end of the last utterance.

No pushes to the 6music website. Push to use the text mechanic and reads out email address. but no website.

PLANET ROCK
Wed 30th September 10am

DJ: Rob Birnie

these times in mins:secs from the online player. Show started at 9am.

the online player: the MP3 archive streams have those MP3 hiccups that are peculiar to the format
the online player has no pause button :(
the online player also crops timings when they get pas 5 figires, e.g. 108:28
Rob Birnie seems like he knows what he's talking about as a DJ.

OTHER STUFF

TOP LEVEL FEELINGS

Gold
Jensen's an incredible DJ - he squeezes interesting fact-based 'content' into the very short bits of speech on Gold.

Capital
Much fewer ads than I was expecting. Also less speech than I was expecting. The speech was basically teasing the audience with mention of upcoming TRACKs or referring to toher shows on the station.

Absolute
The competition dominated the speech content. For somebody who wasn't particularly interested iot seemed like a hellishly complicated competition mechanic.

Kiss
This was the hardest hor for me. The TRACKs were played back-to-back, sometimes note even seprated by a brief sting. The only statiopn to do this.

Radio 1
Lots of speech, which wasn't surprising. Lots of audio production too, and the DJ talked over stabs of music much more than on commercial radio. It felt like a higher quality of production.

Radio 2
Lots of speech. Lots of interaction with the audience using SMS messages. A lengthy, traditionally radio-style of competition.
The station idents feel a lot older and more formal than the music policy.

Magic
I forgot I listened to this station within about an hour. They also played "Islands In The Stream" which, to my mind is *the* quintissential Magic TRACK. Do they play this every hour? Really strong non-music conten though. The "Magic At The Movies" was an interview with Meryl Streep with a strong push to the website. The Mystery Voices quiz (whilst being nothing new) is a strong mechanic, slickly delivered.



this was my test on Absolute, before I realised that I need a finer level of detail on the timings
