Turn on, Tune in, don't switch off!
 

The time has come for me to branch out on my own......!

After 18 months of co-presenting and tech op-ing at 96.4FM The Wave, I've joined Afan FM and have finally been given my own show :eek:

Being the media whore that I am, I've decided to get you lot involved. We'll have live web streaming and and I want you guys to tell me what you think. Be brutal if you have to! My show is on tomorrow from 10pm to 2am and you can find the streaming link at www.afanfm.co.uk

Re: Turn on, Turn in, don't switch off!
 

English transmission or are you promoting your Welsh credentials? ;) 10-2.00 am - where's your audience? Asleep in the meadow? Baaaaaah!

Seriously though, good luck with it. :tu:

Re: Turn on, Turn in, don't switch off!
 

Does this mean we will be seeing less of you Russ? :(

Re: Turn on, Turn in, don't switch off!
 

No such luck - this is only for the weekend as part of our RSL test transmission. We'll be going live full-time from april.

Re: Turn on, Turn in, don't switch off!
 

Hope it goes alright Russ - I won't be able to listen (a combination of no computer at home and copious amounts of Friday beer :disturbd: ), but I'm sure it'll be brill :tu:

Re: Turn on, Turn in, don't switch off!
 

Good luck Russ! Remember us when you are rich and famous..

Re: Turn on, Turn in, don't switch off!
 

Hope it goes alright mate. I'll try and have a listen if I can.

Re: Turn on, Turn in, don't switch off!
 

I'll record it Russ for posterity or if you make any boo-boos to share with board members.

Seriously hope it goes well for you. :tu:

Re: Turn on, Turn in, don't switch off!
 

Ill listen through the website if i can.

Re: Turn on, Turn in, don't switch off!
 

What sort of show is it going to be? What's the theme? what sort of music genre are you allowed/or will be playing?

Are there any competitions or phone-ins going on?

What's the studio number so we can phone in a cheer you along? ;) ...also can you give it up for the CF crew! :p: :D

Re: Turn on, Turn in, don't switch off!
 

Congratulations Russ! Great news! :cleader:

Re: Turn on, Turn in, don't switch off!
 

Blatant advertisement? Hmmmm did you pay a concession for using the forum to plug your show Russ? :p:

Re: Turn on, Turn in, don't switch off!
 

Good luck with that Russ.

Re: Turn on, Turn in, don't switch off!
 

SPAM!!!!!! have it removed :p: :D

Re: Turn on, Turn in, don't switch off!

Re: Turn on, Turn in, don't switch off!
 

Ouch! Russ you need to sort out the streaming quality..it is terrible...faint and unlegible :(

Anyone else having problems?

Re: Turn on, Turn in, don't switch off!
 

It sounds like it's being broadcast from an FM radio that isn't tuned properly..

Re: Turn on, Turn in, don't switch off!
 

Jeez that streams sucks, is it on AOL 56k dial up?

Re: Turn on, Turn in, don't switch off!
 

That streaming is terrible. :(

Re: Turn on, Turn in, don't switch off!
 

Maybe we should join the Afan Forum and complain there ;)

Re: Turn on, Turn in, don't switch off!
 

i was looking for the virtual tuning knob lol :D

Re: Turn on, Turn in, don't switch off!

Re: Turn on, Turn in, don't switch off!
 

Nice Sig, good of you to come out :p:
Maybe they need a better hosting package ;)

Re: Turn on, Turn in, don't switch off!
 

I think we know someone who can help them out ;)

Re: Turn on, Turn in, don't switch off!
 

Super megafoneman? :D think they need some modifcations to the forum colour scheme too :erm:

Re: Turn on, Turn in, don't switch off!
 

It'll be mainly indie, rock and non-chav dance although I'll be able to play just about what I want. Not sure of any phone-ins but there'll be a text number.

And yes, CF will get a plug :D

The streaming will be sorted out, we'll being going out at 128, or so I'm told.

Thanks for the encouragement guys :D

Re: Turn on, Turn in, don't switch off!

Re: Turn on, Turn in, don't switch off!

He turned over one night
And it got much too tight
Boy you should have heard him cuss

With thanks to Maki for his input :tu:

Re: Turn on, Tune in, don't switch off!
 

If you've got a spare 30 seconds to fill, I could do a slot telling your listeners all I know about laying laminate flooring.

:disturbd: :disturbd: :disturbd:

Re: Turn on, Tune in, don't switch off!
 

You would never fill 30 secs with your knowledge of it :mad:

Re: Turn on, Tune in, don't switch off!
 

Yeah that's true... you might have to cut to an advert half way through.

:disturbd: :disturbd: :disturbd:

Re: Turn on, Tune in, don't switch off!
