What do you get shouted at you most often when people recognise you in public? I'll make a guess of 'Aled is here, Aled is here, Aled Aled Aled Aled Aled is here!' or simply 'The Chriiis Moyles Shooow!'? I'm intrigued to know. heh

He usually gets shot at doesn't he?

[bmstinton93]

Aled - Can you bring blursday back please?? But preferably with a good song like parklife, tender or country house. Also any chance of a museday every tuesday. I think it would be brilliant!!

[GottaBeAndrew]

Not sure if you discussed this on the air or not. if you did, I didn't hear it. What do you think of the latest facebook change where now instead of 'The Chris Moyles Show has 815,000 Fans', it's 'The Chris Moyles Show - 815,000 people Like this'. It's not quite as impressive is it?

It annoyed me a bit because now instead of me having my 400 fans on Facebook, which I was very pleased with, I now have 400 people who 'like' me, which is still nice to have but isn't quite as good. And i don't think they get told when i update the page now neither.

Opinions? Does it bother you?

Aled

Will the show be streamed online this summer like last July??

Or has it not been confirmed/Arranged/You know the answer but are swore to secrecy??

[MK Chris]

Aled - I was cycling in, so I couldn't text, but I'm pretty sure an inability to pronounce the letter 'r' is called a rhotacism, so you were right.

[VMPhil]

Hi Aled,

Firstly, I'd just like to say it's really good to be able to directly talk with the producer of the show! Now, my question is this; during the broadcasts from the "Big Bangor House" (as you called it!) you were able to talk directly to Fearne in the studio in London at the beginning of her show. How is this done? I've always thought it can't be by internet, but I'm not sure whether it's done by satellite.

Thanks in advance,
Phil

Do you think that when Chris is away Scott Mills makes a conscious effort to sabotage the show by being so appallingly bad the listening figures drop to a level they actually might never recover from? Because if he isn't doing it on purpose, its a really big accident.

your cookoooo

[DevilsDuck]

that makes....we have a mills fan onboard!

[DevilsDuck]

Aled.....I have been listening to one of the old podcasts when you first had Steve and his table of pain on. Carrie said that it was how she imagined child birth to feel......any chance you can find out which is worse? Thanks DD

The new running orders on listen again aren't very specific. Since the introduction of chapters the running orders consist of track listing and not much else. The old running orders gave a brief description of what was discussed in each link and that was far better than it is now.

I don't think the music should be more worthy of mention than the chat when the Moyles show is heavily speech based. If I hear something in the show that I particularly want to hear again and I cant remember when I heard it, the running order as it stands isn't really much use.

Cant we go back to a summary of each link?

EDIT: 01/06/10 The latest running order is back to how it used to be today!

[SAV1OUR]

I agree the running order is for real fans who just wanna know what they might've missed. I agree with you Trav..Oh God it's you! Sorry Moyles

A bit of a geeky question, but I'm increasingly wondering how the handovers work. I've heard it referred to a number of times where a 'button' is pressed to hand over control. Does this mean only one studio is on air at a time and the sound from the other studio is turned up? At what time does the handover happen? Is it always after the closing jingle or does it depend on whenever chris decides to hand control over?

There is a correct way and an incorrect way to do it at Radio 1.

We do it the incorrect way

Dev fades our studio up and pays the 6:26 news jingle, Dom and Tina talk. And then from that point on our studio plays everything out. Other news beds, end jingle, pips and cheesy opener.

Once we're out of the pips and the cheesy opener's started they 'offer' network and I accept it.

We have a switcher at the back of the studio that has whatever networks you want on it. Ours shows Radio 1 and Radio 1Xtra. So if there's ever in the news weird things happening like something that happened with Westwood and another with Radio 4 it's all the networks offering network at the same key junctions.

That is really intresting. So Your accepting the network from dev's studio and then you control the studio...

so in effect. dom plays the cheesy song at 6:30 in your studio. but dev can in theory override that until he gives the network over too you...


couple of questions on that...
1. When handing over too jo in the past, When would you send the network too their sudio. when they have pressed their jingle too go into the first song i presume.
2. What happens when you have too go into evacuation mode. effectively what happened too vernon a couple of months ago... Dhow do you go about that?
3. What is the correct procedure too hand over.

Cheers

Aled what are the terms and conditions for the Green Day competition cause I am a massive green day fan but couldnt get tickets but I am only 17. Can I still enter?

2. What happens when you have too go into evacuation mode. effectively what happened too vernon a couple of months ago... Dhow do you go about that?

I'm sure Aled will correct this, but as I understand it there are two ways that the emergency "tape" gets on air. If it's a fire alarm rather than a technical issue, the studio that's on air plays it before everyone heads for the doors. If you look in the sound vault this happened while Chris was on air (Juliet's last day as I recall)... Twice. So we got Outkast twice.

The other way of it getting played is if a silence detector in Broadcasting House kicks in because the Radio 1 output has gone quiet indicating a fault. This is what happened with Vernon, when Yalding House suddenly found itself without power. To get a studio (are Radio 1's studios still officially called Continuities?) back on air in that situation you need to get London Control Room in Broadcasting House to switch the studio to air, but to do it cleanly you get LCR to provide a feed of the emergency tape to the studio you're picking up from - Vernon went to Western House, home of Radio 2 on that occasion. Fade up the emergency tape, LCR switch your studio into the distribution, you fade out the emergency tape and carry on.

Incidentally I believe the Radio 4 incident Aled mentioned was down to finger trouble in LCR - they were trying to put a feed from BBC Manchester onto 6 Music (for Marc Riley's show, which had started off routed through one of the Western House studios but then gets switched directly to line to free up the studio) but * up and put it onto Radio 4's distribution.

nothernsteve is a proper fan... I like him!

[dimtimjim]

Aled the team join into the carpark catch prase jingle how come it seems like so much hassel or way below you to join in ?

Oh dear. Thats a perfectly good joke wasted on you then!!



Ok, so its like this.

Chris plays a jingle with bum-bum-bum etc sound on it.

Chris then encourages the rest of the team to join in, calling it 'bumming', yeah? With me so far?

The joke is, Aled doesn't join in with the 'bumming', because "he doesn't do that"......? Y'see?!?!?!

The only gay member of the team claiming he doesn't do 'bumming'......

Jeez.

[DevilsDuck]

Aleds gay?
