Vulgarian Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 These folks have their 'signature' in the code http://aiir.com High time government 'agencies' were encouraging local web design folk in their efforts For probably twice the cost of an off-the-shelf site?

j2bad Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 These folks have their 'signature' in the code http://aiir.com High time government 'agencies' were encouraging local web design folk in their efforts Its an off the shelf Radio Station website provider, suppose it will address most of the things they need particularly the radio player and stuff like that though the rest is fairly limited and very standard, this is surely a cheap and hopefully reliable option, don't think many local designers would be queing up to work for Manx Radio it would probably kill off any career and drive them barmy, the last guy had to flee to Australia. No doubt over the next few weeks be told it has been voted best website in the world by the Radio Academy, and has potentially a gazillion page views if you take the TT audience spike and forecast that for the rest of the year.

Donald Trumps Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I'd like to see DED make available some low cost studio space in the 'Arts, Culture & Heritage Quarter' (or whatever it is) & sponsor some young web development teams by giving them a bit of work It'd be peanuts compared even to just DED hotel & travel spend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolley Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Bloody Hell. It's 'Dying Matters Week' on the national broadcaster Hope that's not why Our Stu is absent today Great isn't it? What demographic are they aiming for? We all know we are going to die. We don't need it ramming down our throats on the radio. One bloke just said "We are trying to make dying more acceptable." Good luck with that, chum. It's off now. Listening to the background birdsong instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolley Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 The birdsong is very uplifting. Might stick with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Smelly Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I guess its government funded so it has to be rebranded at least once every two years. Only complaint is they need a few more lines of local news headlines. I personally think there is nothing like the obituaries read out on the radio, it just adds to the crap of the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempus Fugit Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 The web cam looking over Douglas Bay doesn't seem to refresh as often as it used to do. the bay-cam used to refresh about every 20 seconds or so, the new 'improved' version refreshes about every 23 minutes (when places with decent webcams actually have live HD streaming !) I'm not wild about it, looks very confused and takes a lot of searching to find anything you used to look at and could get to with one click, not scroll around and up and down menus (click on MENU and you get 'not a lot' ! look for weather and it's under NEWS, and what's all the changing colours on the drop-downs for ? There's a menu actually in the news page, which if you click NEWS goes to the page you're already on a bit of a #thumbsdown from me, gets more annoying the more I look at it :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is quite evocative. Perhaps they could run it in a continuous loop on FM and restrict "Wimmin" to AM only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
