Morning all,
As we're over half way through the broadcast I thought I'd raise the subject of
what we want to do on the final night, Friday 29th May.
We've left the programme schedule free for the final 5 hours just in case.
I know it was briefly mentioned a while ago about trying to do something a
little different during the final hours of the broadcast.
I seem to remember that some kind of Zoom (or similar) event was mentioned that
we could be try to do, which may enable some DJs to get involved who haven't
been able to do live shows this year, me for example 😉
I don't really have any experience with Zoom, which seems to be the most
popular way of going about this atm, so if anyone has any info about how you go
about using it, or any alternative options, please let us know.
How would we broadcast our possible Zoom chat so it fitted in with the music,
and so listeners could see us?
One problem with Zoom, as I understand it, is that it cuts out after approx 40
mins unless you have a Pro account, which I presume you pay for.
I think it would be great if we could do something along these lines, even if
it's for just a portion of the evening.
Of course, one difference to previous final nights is that we don't actually
have to finish at midnight....
One idea I did have as to how to actually end the broadcast would be to play
out the whole of 'Dark Side of The Moon', something we did a few years ago when
we finished with the Top 50 albums.
That went down very well, and it might be good to do that again as we're not
bound by our usual 'restrictions'.
Obviously someone would need to play it out via their CD player, but I'm sure
that's easy to sort out.
Just a thought.
It would be good to get this sorted, as best as possible, so that we can start
to announce it. Although I think if we did decide to play out DSOTM, that we
keep that bit under our hats until the time comes.
Any thoughts, or other ideas?
Cheers,
Andy
