[cma-l] Myriad v RCS

[Richard Hilton]

I've always thought that TV should commission a comedy / drama based in a Community Radio station.  This sort of story is the reason why!  As an alternative one based in a museum; you would not believe the sort of incidents that go on both back of house and front of house.

One of the funniest things I remember happened with enco dad many moons ago at another Station I was at. To cut a long story short, everyone had gone home and the enco dad system was running on auto, it was a summers evening very late (11:45 - ish) and the last Presenter (who preferred the touch screen option as opposed to the fader/push button control) had left also, but on this occasion had forgotten to turn the monitor screen off on the computer ... he had remembered though to turn all the studio and office lights off and lock up ........er   one problem though ...... there was a rather large MOTH in the Studio.

The afore mentioned MOTH was quite impressed with the bright screen on the monitor which as mentioned was on touch screen. It decided to keep flying into the cartridge stack which held the jingles so whilst the Human League, Blur, Kylie, Robbie Williams were playing we kept getting Station idents blasting every 3 seconds over the top of the music   it was hilarious !   LOL  :)    the nearest person to the Station was only 15 minutes away, but by the time he had been notified someone else had already got there ... but alas, this went on for about 50 minutes.

I remember pointing out to the Manager at the time that the Presenter who made the mistake ought not be told off for what he did, as that is an easy mistake and anyone could have done it ... what he was told off for and quite rightly was driving away from the Station listening to a completely different Station. If he had been listening to HIS OWN Station, he would have picked the fault up immediately.

Lesson learned me thinks. Funny story though  :)

Regards

Nick

It would be very interesting as well to hear from anyone who has the experience to compare either of each of those with Enco DAD.

Hi

I am canvassing views of users of both Myriad and RCS Master Control. Which do you think is better and why?
