    And that heart playlist is very repetitive indeed! We need some new songs!

    And we need proper broadcasting, none of these "delayed ad breaks" where you hear silence and auto play, and definitely no dodgy segueways!

    1 - What's a "delayed ad break"?

    2 - What's "auto play"?

    3 - What's a "segueway"?

    4 - Why haven't you been banned yet?

    Do sit down next to your radio and go through with a fine tooth comb every slightest mistake there is? There is a delay with network shows as the breaks, out / before the news needs to combine with every
    heart station. I'm sure we all hear it, but likes of me and others understand why it's happening, but l
    guess not even the best tech op or DJ could prevent this.
    Ok, I won't be so picky then. But when I used to listen to Heart I didn't hear any silence between any ad breaks or the news at the TOTH. It looks as though it was a technical fault, so apologies for being so picky with the station as no-one can help technical faults.

    I didn't listen to the radio today - I just picked up on one of the posts below stating about this error. :o

    Last news would have been midday unless there was a breaking story.

    1) This is due to technical issues in the system when the adverts are unable to play on time. Usually there will be some silence instead, or "auto play" will follow on.
    2) Auto play is when the system has been set up to play something else, such as a track, to avoid long lengths of silence in case of a technical fault. Another example of this is on the East Midlands DAB service, when auto play is used to play a song instead of some adverts that are irrelevant. (Only the national ones play instead of local ones.)
    3) A segueway, or segue as it is also known as, is a smooth transition between two different elements on air - usually between two songs, with a "This Is Heart" ident in between. However, on Heart, many of these are not smooth, and crash the vocals in a song by cutting the song too short. Misplaced segue markers, or presenters "back timing" are to blame for this, with some songs having as much as a minute shaved off the end.
    4) A poster only gets banned if they violate the terms and conditions of use. Almost all of my posts have been on topic, and I have never broken the terms of use. I am very careful with what I post as I value my account.

    Sorry Guys, I tried to change topic with asking about the new production but Spotify finds a way to get his pointless argument going again...

    So...

    The return of 'Give It Some Heart' with the Olly Murs TV ads - what do you think?

    I think it's a good move to try and get the Moyles listeners on side - Olly was always on their with him - but I think it's 12 months too late.

    No one associates olly with chris moyles SURELY?! Well heart listeners don't for sure! Heart are deffo not trying to attract listeners who used to listen to chris moyles, what made you think that?

    Radio 1 play a bit of everything but I definitely wouldn't say that Heart are attracting the same audience as Radio 1!

    Radio 1's target is 15-24, Heart aim for slightly older (20's to 30's?) females.

    Having said that even the correct age group will be put off if segueways like these are continued to be aired!

    I bet Chris is laughing everyone thinking he's associated with every radio station since he left Radio 1 as listeners fade elsewhere?

    Good advert! I like the way everyone makes a heart shape with their hands.
    Only one thing wrong, it doesn't actually state that Heart is a radio station, but little things like that don't matter really do they? :rolleyes:

    Gawd, I wish the only thing I had to worry about in my life was if some radio station was fading out god awful cheesey pop songs from the 80s a few seconds early. The song is dreadful anyway, they should have faded it even earlier! :rolleyes:

    If you're going to criticise Heart you should also use the correct terminology. There's no such word as "segueway". It's "segue". Looks like we've cleared that one up now.

    I've never heard anyone talk about a "delayed ad break". Where did you hear this term?

    I'm also not aware of any stations that use a system called "auto play". Could you give me some examples please?

    But of course there are people like me who enjoy listening to Starship songs - and don't want to hear them cut ridiculously short.
