2 minutes to 9 so Terry starts to play Say You Love Me by Fleetwood Mac.
Surely he could have played an old 60's song which was 2 minutes.
He got about half way through and then faded it for the news intro.
Small point i know but timing is everything.
If you work on 3 minutes per song roughly then
you should be OK

He hasn't done this quite as much lately, but as it's always the same old over-played tracks that get faded out I'm not really bothered.

Sounds like an improvement, he doesn't normally bother with the fade. Laughing

It's all part of the show.

Maybe he needs to learn how to backtrack himself? ( That is what they use ) I suppose the timings dont matter as the news can be cut slightly short, and he's always on track for the 9.30 ken hand over.

He'll be better with Digital as the pips are always late anyway Very Happy

Mo Dutta carries on talking over the pips and is still taking about 1min after the long pip before he decides to play the news jingle Laughing

This morning's casualty (there may be more) was Gary Barlow, less than 1.30 before the eight o'clock news.

I blame the production team. Surely there are trailers that long which could be used instead.

Surely cutting off Gary Barlow is a good thing Laughing
