The show is sent as a url, which your station can take and then use as a live relay. The Icecast Server is switched on at 3.55pm, ready for 4pm. I play pre-show music, until 4. I can encode to your station, if it is not possible to relay my stream to you.
News and weather is provided from Radio News Hub and is played at 4pm ad 5pm.
The Studio
Bennett’s Big Drivetime is presented live from the studio in Blackpool, Lancs. The studio is tucked away on a quiet street and is around 2 miles inland from the Golden Mile.
The Studio uses a Sonifex S2 Mixer, which is 20 channels. Playout is provided by Play It Live. I have a modern PC, with 2 screens. (One for Playout and one for Cart Wall \ Internet) I also have a 10 line phone, which is able to put callers live on the air.
Music wise, I have over 225,00 tracks, from the 1940s to today. All my tracks are MP3. The Internet is quite fast, at 250mb down and around 100mb up.
