The end at Juice...

Well, with my last day at Juice having passed it seems the past four weeks really have flown by. The Vault has now expired, with this week (although not being there myself) featuring the 'Best Of' The Vault, and then onto 'Jonesy's Jukebox'.
With my research question having evolved over the weeks at Juice, from initially wanting to evaluate how the working atmosphere affects the quality of radio produced, to focusing more on advertising and its affect on radio produced.
After speaking at length with the office manager (Vicky) it transpires that the annual turnover at Juice and their profit/loss is suprising, full details of which will be in my full report. From this I may include more details RE the companies profitability and independant and/or publicly funded radio and how the broadcasting and aired shows differ due to funding/revenue earnt/given.

MayDay bank holiday Monday

Red Alert!

Arrived at Juice this morning to be greeted by locked doors and secret passwords with the apparently imminent threat of 'G20 prostestors' walking down through central Brighton and just smashing things.

On another note, being a bank holiday monday there are three of us in the office plus the BCTJ people. The clearout last week ghas created more space but there is no way (as we were told) that we wouldnt really be bothered by them, as there is a good size gaggle nattering away.
