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!

Big fail going into ads just now. 10 second silence then auto play kicked in its Black Box, Ride on time!
And this was the "delayed ad break" - the ads didn't play when they should have done. |

Jeez - I have just read through the last 4 pages and thought this was going to be a discussion about Heart and the programming and music they play
How wrong was I? All I have read is "segway" this, and "segue" that. Some people (one in particular) seems to be a bit obsessed....

This is when auto play would have been used. The ads should have played but they didn't, instead another song played.
And this was the "delayed ad break" - the ads didn't play when they should have done. Where did you hear the term "delayed ad break"? It's not a phrase I'm aware of. Could you give me some examples of stations that use the "auto play" system 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.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Very-Bes.../dp/B000024TZB And for someone who "is never listening to Heart ever again!" you are certainly posting a lot about them

Perhaps you misunderstood my questions. I've rephrased them.
Where did you hear the term "delayed ad break"? It's not a phrase I'm aware of. Could you give me some examples of stations that use the "auto play" system please? When that happens Heart certainly do use "autoplay", because Hitmusic said that was what made Black Box play instead of the adverts. Hope that helps |

Wet Wet Wet - Angel Eyes!
A good song... http://www.mixcloud.com/spotify95/he...et-angel-eyes/ ...and a shockingly bad segue to go with it. Oh dear. |

I heard the station in my local Greggs today - queing for about five mins - still hammering "Get Lucky"
Thing is, as long as the plebs tune in - the powers that be @ Heart will keep to the same playlist. |

Care to explain why you're still listening to Heart?
Oh, and when do you start Uni? Maybe you'll have something more productive to do then! ![]() I started Uni on 30th September - that's why you've seen substantially less rants and segues. Having said that I do get Wednesday's off (I have no lessons then) so I decided to check in today. Today I've recorded 3 segues (based on the song) and uploaded them to Mixcloud. |

Although Wednesday may be your free day, I'm sure there's stuff you should be doing in the library or somewhere. Don't cock up your very brief time at uni. |

So nothing to do with Radio and segways?
![]() Interestingly I was only interested in segues when I started hearing heart's, and how (from another thread) other posters commented about some dodgy ones. I have always liked radio though ![]() But overall I think Electronic Eng. is more suited towards what job I'll probably get at the end of it

Still have them somewhere way back in the 80s ( Real Radio geek) |
