Just listening to the Jonathan Ross programme (don't worry - it's safe 
- he's not on this week - the much more sensible and credible Mark 
Lamarr and Jo Brand are "in for him"). Guests include Nick Lowe and 
Hank Marvin, so I'm recording it on my little PC-based USB Freeview tuner.

As a backup, I have the Sky box tuned to R2 and I'm recording it on 
the DCD-R machine downstairs.

Still with me?

Anyway, the mid-day news comes on. On the Freeview tuner, it's a man 
reading the news. On the DigiSkyBox, it's... a woman. Same channel. 
Same news items (same recorded inserts) - different newsreader.

How does that work? And what's the point?

They're certainly getting their moneysworth out of ML this weekend. He did 
his normal Saturday morning show from midnight to 3am and was then back on 
at 10:00am covering for Wossy. AFAIK neither of these shows are recorded in 
advance.

I actually don't like it when they pair Lamarr up with someone, it gives him 
too much temptation to launch into one of his lengthy, opinionated, show-off 
rants. Jo Brand was, surprisingly - she's been good before, quite dull from 
what I heard today (I gave up part-way through the Nick Lowe interview and 
switched over to Rick Wakeman on Planet Rock). When Lamarr doesn't have a 
foil he is more inclined to speak knowledgeably about the music that he 
loves, which I much prefer to listen to.

How bizarre?? I'm not aware of this or in fact what the BBC would achieve by 
doing it?? Maybe it's a way of 'testing' new newsreaders by putting them on 
the DSAT feed rather than DAB, Freeview or FM?

Can anyone else shed light on this??

It's one feed, duplicated, from BH so why it happened is odd.

Could be some sort of experiment, or something to do with testing 
Disaster Recovery?

I haven't tried this (because I heard it anyway and have a recording), 
but I understand you can hear the interview again, either on the Beeb 
website "Listen Again" facility or by DLing an edited MP3 from:

<http://www.4shared.com/file/16756038/2bf88c34/HankRadio2.html>

Hank does have a new album out in early June. I understand that he has 
several other meeja appearances lined up:

TUESDAY MAY 29th:
BBC TV BREAKFAST NEWS 8.15am - 9-15am interview
CHANNEL 5 TV NEWS  interview

WEDNESDAY MAY 30th:
SKY NEWS interview

THURSDAY MAY 31st:
GMTV performance TRACK tbc & interview

SUNDAY JUNE 3rd:
BBC1 TV HEAVEN & EARTH
live performance SUMMER HOUSE & interview

....but not a tour.

I haven't tried this (because I heard it anyway and have a recording), 
but I understand you can hear the interview again, either on the Beeb 
website "Listen Again" facility or by DLing an edited MP3 from:

<http://www.4shared.com/file/16756038/2bf88c34/HankRadio2.html>

Hank does have a new album out in early June. I understand that he has 
several other meeja appearances lined up:

TUESDAY MAY 29th:
BBC TV BREAKFAST NEWS 8.15am - 9-15am interview
CHANNEL 5 TV NEWS  interview

WEDNESDAY MAY 30th:
SKY NEWS interview

THURSDAY MAY 31st:
GMTV performance TRACK tbc & interview

SUNDAY JUNE 3rd:
BBC1 TV HEAVEN & EARTH
live performance SUMMER HOUSE & interview

....but not a tour.

Could be. Do Radio 1 still do a separate South East travel news opt out on 
Wrotham ?  They certainly used to.

Thanks for the info,I caught his appearance on  BBC Breakfast yesterday at
9am.He is looking good for his age (65) and the album sounds promising!

They're certainly getting their moneysworth out of ML this weekend. He did 
his normal Saturday morning show from midnight to 3am and was then back on 
at 10:00am covering for Wossy. AFAIK neither of these shows are recorded in 
advance.

I actually don't like it when they pair Lamarr up with someone, it gives him 
too much temptation to launch into one of his lengthy, opinionated, show-off 
rants. Jo Brand was, surprisingly - she's been good before, quite dull from 
what I heard today (I gave up part-way through the Nick Lowe interview and 
switched over to Rick Wakeman on Planet Rock). When Lamarr doesn't have a 
foil he is more inclined to speak knowledgeably about the music that he 
loves, which I much prefer to listen to.

How bizarre?? I'm not aware of this or in fact what the BBC would achieve by 
doing it?? Maybe it's a way of 'testing' new newsreaders by putting them on 
the DSAT feed rather than DAB, Freeview or FM?

Can anyone else shed light on this??

Could be. Do Radio 1 still do a separate South East travel news opt out on 
Wrotham ?  They certainly used to.

They're certainly getting their moneysworth out of ML this weekend. He did 
his normal Saturday morning show from midnight to 3am and was then back on 
at 10:00am covering for Wossy. AFAIK neither of these shows are recorded in 
advance.

I actually don't like it when they pair Lamarr up with someone, it gives him 
too much temptation to launch into one of his lengthy, opinionated, show-off 
rants. Jo Brand was, surprisingly - she's been good before, quite dull from 
what I heard today (I gave up part-way through the Nick Lowe interview and 
switched over to Rick Wakeman on Planet Rock). When Lamarr doesn't have a 
foil he is more inclined to speak knowledgeably about the music that he 
loves, which I much prefer to listen to.

How bizarre?? I'm not aware of this or in fact what the BBC would achieve by 
doing it?? Maybe it's a way of 'testing' new newsreaders by putting them on 
the DSAT feed rather than DAB, Freeview or FM?

Can anyone else shed light on this??

Maybe they have the broadcast rights to some news stories on satellite that 
they don't have for terrestrial....!

It's one feed, duplicated, from BH so why it happened is odd.

Could be some sort of experiment, or something to do with testing 
Disaster Recovery?

I haven't tried this (because I heard it anyway and have a recording), 
but I understand you can hear the interview again, either on the Beeb 
website "Listen Again" facility or by DLing an edited MP3 from:

<http://www.4shared.com/file/16756038/2bf88c34/HankRadio2.html>

Hank does have a new album out in early June. I understand that he has 
several other meeja appearances lined up:

TUESDAY MAY 29th:
BBC TV BREAKFAST NEWS 8.15am - 9-15am interview
CHANNEL 5 TV NEWS  interview

WEDNESDAY MAY 30th:
SKY NEWS interview

THURSDAY MAY 31st:
GMTV performance TRACK tbc & interview

SUNDAY JUNE 3rd:
BBC1 TV HEAVEN & EARTH
live performance SUMMER HOUSE & interview

....but not a tour.

If you're a fan or want to read more, I suggest taking a look at the 
very  informative message board at:

HTH.
