Here, the DJs swap slots when they are trying to get money. A guy I used to work with was a DJ on some FM station.
I don't understand why the connection would be so bad. Australia is not a third-world country. They should have good connectivity. The international communication aspect is handled by satellite. I believe that you use skype. Unless you or he have a poor internet connection at your home, things should be fine.
I'm regularly on those satellites, and connectivity is acceptable. Chopping is due to compression algorithms and packet loss, combined with the fact that QoS isn't set up properly. Most home ISPs don't provide QoS, nor are home routers and switches equipped to do so--even when they have QoS options.
Depending on your skype software, you can often improve your results by disabling video and reducing the audio quality. This reduces bandwidth usage, and allows the voice to come through. The disconnects sound more like congestion at the skype server. Since there are several, I would usually check the hops to find the holdup and re-route my traffic accordingly. Skype does not load-balance their servers, for some reason, nor do they use redundant channels.
I used to use Vonage to call overseas, since most countries were included. With the cell phone app, I could make and receive calls from anywhere I had internet. They even added a feature that made the calls appear to come from my cell phone number. Sometimes, we did get a poor connection, but usually when dealing with undeveloped areas in third-world countries.
My auditory experience via TuneIn was OK, but sometimes his voice seemed muffled or soft. Since I don't know how he actually sounds, I can't attribute this to anything in particular. There didn't seem to be a good transition between program and commercial, although I'm not sure who controls that. Most of the ads were for things that must only be in Australia. When Fierofool's requested song ended, the song faded out a bit, then ended rather abruptly, and the talking began. Cool that you can make requests. They probably don't allow anything like Good Morning, Vietnam.
Other than the difference in time slots and DJs, what is the difference in the programs?
