I heard a similar beeping on Smooth Chill at 1543. Immediately reminded me of the recordings of ILR output leading up to the announcement of the death of Diana.

Sounds strange for those stations to be taking IRN at those times rather than in house news teams?


RE: Queen Elizabeth Health - TVenthusiasm - 08-09-2022

There are rumors that we will get a update on the sitation at 6pm

If anyone's interested in seeing how WN joined NC - they dropped a package and Lucy Hockings just "abruptly" said "We now join my colleagues on the BBC News Channel" with ZERO context on what's the breaking news... Then they joined Studio E's feed (output on output) which is in the middle of a live interview and Joanna Gosling announced the news a couple of seconds later...

Will this become the normal after that NC-World ‘merger’?

Smooth Chill doesn't carry news (but does things like Rememberance Day, albeit in a very minimal form).

It could have been nothing but it's not a noise I've ever heard on there before - could be an engineer preparing something perhaps.

I'm sure in the fullness of time we'll hear raw output from IRN.

That's nothing special or new, they've joined up like that for breaking news on many occasions over the past few years. 

Even on normal days they simulcast more than they aren't, and even more so during Covid


RE: Queen Elizabeth Health - Steve in Pudsey - 08-09-2022

On the assumption that this does result in the news were are anticipating - that's two occasions where we've moved forum and had a significant obit in short order


RE: Queen Elizabeth Health - cityprod - 08-09-2022

NBC News Now is simulcasting Sky News.
