Exactly, but the only problem is,
Is they could only realistically be used once, and getting people to ACTUALLY do it, would be as hard as getting them to actually DJ,
I'm sure Richie wouldn't mind making some, that's his kind of forte,
But it would be so much better than just listening to music.

That's why I said at the start of the week get each DJ to do a new show. Put it in their job description and if they refuse, fire them. That's how things should be run; no pussyfooting about, fire the ones that aren't djing/recording shows as asked.

That is a fab idea actually,
Increase their minimum to however many normal shows a week it is now + 1 or 2 recordings,
I think that could work?
How many dj's is there currently?
Must be enough to cover quite a lot of dead air time...

You wouldn't even need to increase their minimum, keep it the same unless the department is understaffed. The recordings would just be to fill in the blanks.

Another separate point which I'm sure has been brought up in the thread already but I can't be arsed reading it is the issue of quality. As far as I can tell the radio broadcasts at 128 kb/s which is terrible. Is there any chance of an upgrade?

if myself and @Calvin;'s test show goes well, our new show could be prerecorded. (also its an actual show playing a certain genre with a certain theme ) we're in the process of figuring out whether prerecorded or live would be better for what we wanna do

I don't know if you'd want big weekly shows to be recorded though, it's sometimes nice to have some listener interaction during them!

well, IF we have to prerecord, only the actual music parts of it will be prerecorded, we'd still be taking shoutouts and stuff

You wouldn't need to play pre recorded material if you were actually on air though? haha.

Was wondering about this, 128 kb/s seems to be the peak for SHOUTcast, there's no inbetween like a nice 192 kb/s for example. There are a few 320 kb/s providers out there, but it gets hard to stream and listen at that sort of speed. I'm sure a few recorded 'generic' shows could prove really beneficial, as long as they aren't major shows that need interaction with listeners.
