Capital East Midlands has been having some trouble tonight it started playing JT and sexy back then going back into normal output from V festival then some dead air then JT and sexy back again happened from around 5:45 until 6

Shame the listen again isn't working for the show; anyone got the audio? I doubt it but just incase.

Please can someone upload that technical prop on capital east mids earlier

It was happening all day, output stopped at about 4 o clock and the emergency tape kicked in for a few hours
Then when I finally started working again the ads were not playing so the emergency tape would kick in every time the network went to adverts

There seemed to be problems with the Global/Communicorp stations coming out of Nottingham yesterday.

That explains the problem dose anybody have any audio of the problem.?

If RadioMonkey is reading, this is a big ask. Would you be able to find the audio for us on radiomonitor and upload it to something like vocaroo? This would be hugely appreciated, but please don't worry if this is much of a big ask.

Where Kat Shoob this is the second week Marvin presenting it solo, has she been pushed out of the door?

Nope. Last week boardmasters and this week V Fest.

I've just made a seperate forum for the Big Top 40, like this one, for discussions on the particular show. I also mentioned in the first post about the fault on Bauer stations this afternoon.

Yes just heard the fault on Radio City too thats why Marvin presenting solo. And finally we have a sperate Big top 40 forum. On capital N wales the local id played twice during the ads so Marvin must of pressed Command 1 button twice.

Major cock up at the start of Roman kemp show two songs playing together either that was caused by user error or Genisys having a hissy fit.

She was at V fest last weekend doing interviews for Capital/Global.

Indeed and then Boardmasters the week before, she'll be back this weekend.

Yes she back this weekend, I wonder when Marvin will have his next holiday as the last person to cover the big top 40 was Greg Burns.

Funny you should say that, I've just accidentally discovered something.

I was looking through TuneIn and clicked on The Vodafone Big Top 40 With Marvin Humes.

Marvin's at Oceana Nightclub in Plymouth Sunday night doing a DJ Set starting at 10PM.

I noticed the description for the show, has been updated to say 'Matt Wilkinson brings you the UK's biggest chart show. Who will top this week's chart?! Get involved @BigTop40'

The Capital / Heart schedules have not yet been updated to prove this, not that the Heart schedule ever is for the Big Top 40, but I presume Matt's got it covered this Sunday.

Anyone that thinks the Bassman is too old for Capital needs to check him out presenting the Friday lunchtime mix block. He's doing a bloody good job

Sounds cheesy and breathlessly trying to be hip to me. Each to their own though.

He just presses play on the mix tape!

That's interesting if Matt's covering this Sunday, he will have to do the capital throwback hour.

Yes he dose even though I'm not too keen on the Bassman he has done a fab job.

Yeah I know that. I was talking about his presenting. 😏

I've never understood all this age crap with radio presenting. Radio presenters abroad like Ryan Seacrest, Elvis Duran and Kyle Sandilands are in their 40s (Duran in his 50s!) and are more popular and better at relating to the younger R1/Capital age demographic in their respective countries than the likes of Grimshaw can ever dream of doing here.

U sure...😏

And Tim Westwood is almost in his 60s!

As in the mix tape isn't done by him...!
