The New Chat Back 960 Discussion Thread

well it would help if they took things off.

Must confess this was switched off when the girl took 2 breaks within an hour last night.

My observations/criticisms:
Maybe Ofcom should be advised of false advertising?
Late night show title: 'Rampant Rabbit' is false and misleading only thing Rampant is the amount of breaks and 'dead air' it has.
Rating of show is an 18 - what 18 months?
Top of 'Adult' electronic programme guide on Sky (surely misplaced?)
needs to be moved below 900's.
More interaction from onscreen girls (did she use the mic at all last night?)
Like David R i want this to succeed and i believe April does as well, but if it continues with this adolescent format it will surely fall into the abyss.

Its the Microsoft Vs Apple Comparison you have the giants of the 900's like Cellcast who are like Microsoft and own most of the space and people cry out for something new so along comes a white knight on 960 who when April, Amy and select few others are in front of camera are Apple and 'The Think Different Approach' works and its like a nice shiny iMac, then it has a moment where it stumbles like last night when its like a Apple 1 which was made out of wood in a Garage.

Things that engage your audience are A) Get on a Mic once in while talk to the viewers and potential callers, B) Interact online, Read Messages from viewers and so forth (Those two are what April herself did and made her even more popular as a result) C) Movement around the studio gets people interested. (April's dancing, Amy's fun both are full of energy or just waking around works)

All those have been done and when they have its a better viewing experience and potential caller meltdown, becoming static as it did last night people are going to switch off and go to sleep.

Yeh,big disappointment last night! Lovely girl doing nothing.Scanned through my recording at 30x and thought my hard drive was playing up! Very few callers last night also.Bottom line is that if you are in the 900's you have to provide adult,visual entertainment.They should also by now have a text service as this is an easy money maker.I am not sure if they have a listen in feature but they need that also if not.Every member on this forum wants them to succeed because initially they were a little different to the norm,but now they have slipped below the standards achieved day in day out by the bigger broadcasters.I hope things change soon.
