I'm not sure what you mean by 'taking in the stream through messenger.'
What stream? What does messenger do for you?
Anchors would be anyone who can put through calls on air. If we only
have one person who can do this, it will not work, at least not as I had
envisaged. If we only have one, then this can only be done in that one
segment, say 2 hours, so we could only accommodate three guest DJs max.
With further thought, each guest spot is not specified by number of
tracks but by time, so for straight sets, around 20 mins. For sets where
there is conversation between the guest and anchor (preferable in my
view), say around 25 mins. So if all three guest DJs have conversation
and the segment is 2 hours, this leaves 45 mins for 'housekeeping' -
facebook, dedications, DJ messages on answer phone and of course some
more music!
It is probably all a bit late in the day to organise be honest but that
is why I suggested each segment is produced within its participating
group as it is a lot easier to organise with a smaller group.
It totally depends on how many have the technology in place.

Who would anchors be because I’m not sure that anyone other than Sarah
can connect to a phone and we are not testing whether that works or
not until tomorrow. Think we may be over complicating this and perhaps
just shorter sets for djs and, if it works, the possibility of others
ringing into Sarah to present. We are testing tomorrow the possibility
of taking in the stream through messenger.

Simon THAT. my friend is a cracking idea. I love that.
Thing is I do feel it may be a little complicated to get sorted and

How about this for an idea?
The evening is spilt into segments. Just to outline some terminology to
make it easier to explain, each segment is hosted by an 'anchor'. The
criteria for being an anchor is that you can present a programme from
home and put a phone call on air.
In each segment there are 'guest DJs', say up to three,depending how
long each segment is.
Each guest DJ presents a set; three or four tracks, could be their
choice, whatever.
This could be as a straight set so they are left to present down the
phone with the anchor simply playing the tracks, or in conversation with
the anchor, maybe talking about the chosen tracks perhaps or reading out
dedications etc.
Each segment is produced by the anchor in conjunction with their guest
DJs, so it is entirely up to them how they organise the tracks, who is
saying what etc. That way no one has to try and produce the whole
evening, which would be a nightmare.
If we had three people that could act as anchors and each had a two hour
segment we would get 12 DJs including anchors in the 6 hour slot. If
there are more that want to be part of it we may have to start earlier.
If there are those that would like to do a show on their own without
guests, than they can but they have much shorter segment.
It sound complicated but if each group produces only their segment, then
it should not be too onerous. Also, with each group producing their own
segment, the segments will probably each sound slightly different, which
would be more interesting to listen to and keep people listening through
the evening.
I think just leaving a message on the phone, whilst it is a lot simpler,
is not going to sound that special to be honest.
Each group would need to think about how the guests could hear the track
playing, unless the anchor is controlling through conversation, but all
of that would be up to each group to work out.
Ambitious yes, but it would be a bit different and maybe interesting to
listen to?

chaotic. I don't think it will fit very well with the times either. It
comewould just remind everyone of what they are missing. Did some of it
from the Carlisle?
we doMaybe we could have a number of DJs doing short stints rather like
anyway on the last Friday, particularly from those who have contributed
this year.
I think using Jon's virtual studio facility would work quite well for
havethis and allow a bit more variety of voices. Richard Stack seems to
mastered it very well. Unsurprisingly a bit shaky at the start but you
would not have any idea he was using it now. He sounds just as good as
anyone.
Also, how about asking for dedications? Robojock is Ok but it does not
allow someone to dedicate a song for someone else, friend/loved one -
especially good if they are geo isolated from each other at this time.
In fact we could say that any requests we play will only be played if
they are dedications to someone else (obviously we would need take this
on trust).
couldFor those with home studios with telephone connectivity, other DJs
contribute by phone though this would need a bit of production,
speak toparticularly if the idea ran across slots, i.e who was going to
includedwho and at what time to make sure no repetition and as many are
as possible. They could be invited to choose a few favourites that they
could both talk about? This might be a bit complicated to organise
though now I think about it but would be bit different to the norm,
which might be a good thing at this time?
Just a few ideas?

more thanabout here. However I suspect you may have to pay to accomodate
really helpa few people and/or go over the 40 minute limit but I can't
any further than that.
DJs, as longNick has assured me that we don't need the hour between live
as we make sure they log out & in properly.
RobojockThis should only take minutes, if that, so we could maybe let

it's a long one!
How does that sound? Will that work?
