Busy Media Weekend Ahead

The thing I am most looking forward to this weekend is going to West Ham tomorrow. Whether I will still think that at 4.45 remains to be seen After that it's a busy weekend on the nation's airwaves...

Saturday 11.45pm News 24 Paper Review
Sunday 10am-1pm Julian Worricker Show, 5 Live
Sunday 12-1pm BBC South East Politics Show
Sunday 1.10pm BBC Radio Wales

Now, as you may know we've had streaming problems on 18 Doughty Street this week. If you wanted to see any of the following programmes, they are now in the archive and the links are below...

Blogger TV HERE
David Willetts interview HERE
Peter Tatchell HERE

I'm delighted to say that the streaming problems have now been sorted and tonight's programmes have been problem free. On Monday we're launching our new website and corporate identity.

What, at 400 a time?
(Do you really spell Warwicker/worrycur that way?)

Don't understand the 400 comment?

Yes, Worricker is correct

Seems the streaming is fixed. The first time tonight I have been able to watch and listen to everybody on the couch. Subject bullying.

It's not quite like TV yet. The images are static with the sound of the bods talking in the background.

Least I can now see what Alex Hilton looks likes. He talks as much as I imagined at the rate of knotts. Funny chap.

Rachel is cool.

The whole debate is very interesting

Glad I stuck it out last week and got to see the Willets interview.
He was good, much better on your couch than he comes across in a newsroom studio. In fact the contrast in interviewing style really does work in 18 Doughty street. It makes a welcome change to see politicians being allowed to "express themselves" in a less confrontational environment than adopted by some of the political shows, which often have a limited timeslot and need to prove their political jousting skills with a win against the politician!
I don't know how many times I have been frustrated at seeing a politician being cut off or dismissed while making a great point or even because they are being a prat!
Politics for grown ups, who have their own radar alarm which can detect the smell of bullsh*t without a clever journalist pointing it out for them.

tone made me do it - what on earth is 'ect' ??

Would it not be worth sorting out the streaming for EVERYONE - THEN doing the re-branding - otherwise you will contaminate the new brand as well ?

Just a thought..

Anonymous, I had thought it was sorted out yesterday. Are you telling me different? Please tell me what problems you had and what browser you were using.
