I find that too when my VPN is set to outwith the UK.

They say on shows that you can listen to the greatest hits anywhere in the whole wide world. But you can't unless you have a VPN on your smartphone or tablet set to the UK.

The sreaming bauer url's of their stations from tunein, I can't add the same url's to yourmuze.fm. And I appear to have lost those Bauer stations with working url's I added recently on yourmuze.fm. Bauer must have changed the server. It's just a nuisance.

Try using the URL http://icy-e-bl-04-cr.sharp-stream.com:8000/clyde1.aac - if that doesn't work, change the file extension to .m3u or .mp3

Waited a wee bit longer to judge so as to try and be objective…

So Wright is okay, but, the fact she cannot pronounce "Clyde" in her split links is a bit jarring.

As for the play list, unfortunately it does seem very "safe" as both the Friday (presented by Ryan Borthwick in Scotland) and Saturday shows have a playlist which plays *a lot* of the same songs which have already been on BC1 over the course of the day (Jonas Blue or Mike Posner anyone?).

It has some promise, but, the playlist really could do with more tweaking, or, perhaps, they could actually be brave and trust the DJs to run those shows without the relatively static playlist (which was one of the problems SNE had IMO).


Interestingly, it seems there is some confusion as to who is actually covering this slot sometimes, as, last night's link on Floorfillers Chilled said it would be Chris Felton (who is on the schedule), but, it was actually Ivan D'Sa. I actually find Ivan to be the better of the two, but, I'm an opinionated git.

NB:- The above streams for Clyde 1 do not work on yourmuze.fm.

I tried radiofeeds to get the streaming url for Tay 2, and it is not recognised as a valid streaming url on yourmuze.fm.

Quite why the Bauer managing director would go out of his way to check websites like yourmuze.fm for feeds and then order a change of server for the stations that means online on a mobile or tablet, you can only listen to their stations via official apps on apple or android and stop people being able to listen to them on other mobile or tablet devices.

I doubt the MD personally sits and checks websites, instead, it is probably a rights issue (their PRS/PPL licences may only cover streaming in the UK), so if that is the case, they would be instructing their service provider to geolock the streams. Of course, Geolocking is not an exact science, it can be gotten round…

Annoying, isn't it?

EDIT: Just to add some context - yourmuze.fm state that their servers are in the Netherlands (see the FAQ "Why can't I listen to radio stations from Clear Channel?" on their FAQ page), so it would certainly be conceivable that this could be the cause, i.e. geolocking is in force and requests from IP addresses outside the UK are being rejected.

Great dj great guy He,d be fantastic on Breakfast.

Good idea to wait a bit longer, I tend to make quick judgements!

I listen on Key to the show, so haven't heard her pronounce Clyde, how does she say it?

Personally after losing Old Skool and Anthems which is missed, Dave Kelly's show is good but not as good (though it was a hard act to follow), Floorfillers Chilled has actually grown to become my favourite show on the network. I agree there could be a bit more variety but I think they've got the vibe of the show spot on, some really good old school in there, mixed in with some fresher stuff and some songs from a few years ago you don't really hear anymore, and So Wright's warm personality makes it an excellent listen for me.

Yeah the weekend overnights have had Chris listed for weeks, they don't seem to update that part of the schedule. Ivan is for sure the best they've had covering since Jack moved, wouldn't surprise me though if they kept rotating with maybe a few more BC3 presenters doing it.

The only show I'm not particularly keen on is Mike and Kelly on a Saturday morning.

Big top 40 all over the place on Radio city a few mins ago paddy sunday dinner id crashed into the songs whilst on Tay fm some scottish voice during the silance saying this is Tay fm twice. Im so happy its going wrong its my lucky day.

your lucky day?

Strange. Why do you enjoy errors so much?

Not a fan of Bauer I presume.

Nah, he does it over on the Capital Network forums too. Just likes it when mistakes happen I suppose, albeit he's been found out a couple of times making things out. Very strange.

Its funny when things go wrong.

New jingles at TOH on Clyde 1 today with a more refined version of the "sonic" - perhaps this is a sign of things to come given the upcoming integration of the Free stations and Gem.

I think thats the reason why, have the other City 1 stations had new news jingles.?

I had a quick listen to Forth 1 and Key 103 online at 2pm and the TOH jingle was still the one with the older sonic, however, this isn't uncommon…

For example, Clyde was the first station to test the 'new' website format that was introduced network wide almost a year before the other stations got it (Forth got it a few months later, along with branding which was uncannily similar to Clyde, before every station was rebranded into the current format).

Travel bed is from the Gem package.

From the package that they were using before Bauer started making their mark?

Dumb question I know, but the bland package Bauer rolled out on BC1 isn't great so there is a lot that could be better…

Travel and weather on Clyde 1 were from Orion's Gem package (yes the one 106 was already using)

Scroll across to Gem.

In fact it appears to other City 1 stations too.

Ex west fm presenter Michael Smith is still covering the overnight show for Fat for another week as Fat is still in Manchester doing cover on The Hits station.

Also John Collins is Covering for Kenny Campbell on Westsound Dumfries this week as Kenny is doing Breakfast.

Mike Richardson the content controller on west fm was doing the home run this afternoon

Does Radio City have a listen again option anywhere?

I dont think so

I'd be fairly certain its not popular in Manchester either - especially if its expanded!

Its beyond belief that Bauer are allowing stations like Key 103 & Radio Aire to fail to this extent. I see Radio Aire still doesn’t have permanent presenters on the Breakfast Show! How long can that continue? It's not surprising to see their listening figures plummeting! And if listeners leave so do the advertisers!....

Surely Senior Managers must be on their last chance now or have Bauer just given up?

I believe the Radio Aire breakfast show is still being hosted by Kelly but I wouldnt be surprised if she moves to Key 103 breakfast to host with Mike in the near future with a new breakfast show launching on Radio Aire. Unless Mike is moved to Radio Aire but I cant see that happening.
