I didn't check any stations during the intro, I was listening to the satellite. They don't always.

I didn't hear any other problems? What did you notice? I also heard Matt was firing them off before the Howard Ritchie 'Vodafone Big Top 40' ID. Not a problem though, sounded alright.

I was at a station who take the Big Top 40 today to meet a friend of mine, as we were going out for lunch during his break. I had a look at the Content Bank system which the BT40 stations use to share content (such as the weekly promo trails). It was very interesting to actually see the list of stations in the group and go back to previous years to see what content was being shared.

Also, on another subject Global have updated all their radio station mobile apps, the Big Top 40 app still remains untouched since July 2015. Wonder if they will ever update it?
This page was from over a year ago when the new imaging package, website and logo were brought in, and contains details about the concept for a new Big Top 40 app: http://www.joconlon.com/portfolio/big-top-40-redesign/ The designs look pretty much identical to the other new Global apps. |

Spire FM, and the content bank is basically a place where Global share BT40 content such as the weekly promo trails etc. It's all in the cloud I belive, from what I could see. But stations have login details so obviously it can't be accessed by anyone, anywhere.

Local ID's are triggered from the Capital studio and sent on the IRN feed via a serial data port, which I believe is the '3rd' port. This is decoded via an IRN Demux 2 unit and sends a signal to the station playout machine and triggering the localiser, which says the name of the station the show is being broadcast on. The show finishes at 6:59:00, sometimes with a drone to fill up to this time, with Capital being disconnected from the satellite feed at 6:59:30. The same feed is also used for Wireless Group network feeds. |

yes but on other radios he is not
If he's known as that on Capital then that's what they'll use or it'll sound weird to Capital listeners. |

James Bassam would make sense to cover the show. Has a slick presentation. Would the rivalry stations accept a weekday Capital DJ on their station giving a taste of how he does his thing?
