Allied to the above..
RTE Radio One's 'Morning Ireland' is also siml-cast on RTE News Now. Visuals provided with locked out cameras in the studio.

Radio Oxford's breakfast programme is (or certainly was) simulcast in vision on That's Oxford, DVEd with travel and news text information. Quite nicely done IMO.

I have also just remembered that the Gem 106 Breakfast Show is broadcast on Notts TV.

It's been attempted nationally, Chris Evans simulcasted his Virgin Radio breakfast show on Sky One for a time in the late 90s.

Chris Moyles in particular did a number of experiments with simulcasting the entire show online when he was on Radio 1 breakfast. There was a trial in 2009 where they did it every day, and most of those clips are still online including the day Michael Jackson died, plus Comedy Dave being told off for mentioning international viewers. They never did it full time after that but instead chose to do it on special occasions such as the longest show ever in 2011, the times they would go on tour, and the final shows in 2012.

5 Live used to put up videos from Richard Bacon's show but I hardly ever come across any in-studio clips from them now. I know they still make them but I just don't seem to come by them myself.

I can see it working permanently for some shows, particularly news programmes. If they put the Today programme on BBC 2 with a clock and graphics, I'd happily jump ship from GMB.

For the music channels do they just stay with a studio shot whilst they're playing music?

Locally in Cambridge, back in the 90s, Cambridge Red 107.9's Drive show (called The Red Magazine) was simulcasted on their NTL cable TV channel, redTV.

You can see a few clips of the show at the start of this rather old presenter demo.



I would assume that was probably one of the first local radio shows which was also televised in the UK.

BTW, Pete Cousins went on to present on the Eagle/Star Radio and now voices radio and TV commercials (he's also the male station voiceover artist on a certain Cambridge 105 Wink ).

It can work in two modes, with a vision mixer or in automation where cameras are cut to air based on which mic is being talked into, or cuts to a wide shot if the mics aren't capturing anything.

Radio 1 have experimented with how they fill the music gaps, sometimes leaving studio output up, other times going to a caption and on other occasions a DVE shrink with the studio output inset over a caption.

They've also played the music videos, notably during the Scott Mills student tour. Problem is, I guess, when you have radio edits or IDs over the top, it makes adding an accompanying video much more difficult.

They still 'put the cameras on' from time to time on the Radio 1 Breakfast Show, when they have a guest in, but in reality how many people actually tune in at 8am, either watching at home, or trying to get a decent signal on the bus, is questionable.

Of course the Dan and Phil show on a Sunday was fully visualised but that seemed to fizzle out, like previous attempts of younger programming on a Sunday night.

I suspect that having a sharable version later on is more important than the live audience.

The Chris Moyles Show on Radio X does a mixture of clips posted after something has gone out on air and Facebook Live, either from the studio cameras or Moyles's phone for something more ad-hoc

There are all kinds of odd Radmac in-jokes, but I've never worked out why they play the Thames ident music between songs every now and then...


They have lots of odd jingles and theme tunes they play between songs. Today it was the Roobarb theme.

That 6 Music daytime schedule has been unchanged for a very long time. Steve Lamacq had the teatime slot since 2005, Lauren Laverne's morning show is the baby of the lot, beginning in November 2009.

In fact it's Radcliffe and Maconie that's the newest show on the 6 Music daytime schedule. The recent ten year celebration included their four years on Radio 2 evenings, before they moved to their current slot in April 2011. Overall though, the 6 Music schedule has remained exactly the same for quite a while - I don't think there have been any changes whatsoever since Iggy Pop started his Friday evening show about two years ago.


And concerning the earlier talk of a Radio 1.5, even if they were flush with cash, there's no way the BBC could possibly entertain the idea of a third mainstream pop station that would invariably have huge amounts of crossover with the stations either side. But I do think there's no real point in trying to target particular age groups, they only seem to do it in order that they can demonstrate to commercial radio that they're not deliberately targeting their heartland 'thirtysomething' audience. 6 Music doesn't have a target age group and is all the better for it.
