    I notice most of the Dublin stations are not using webcams in studio anymore. Is there a reason for it?

    Diva presenters would be one issue for some stations - there were more in the past but some were randomly covered/re-aimed/out of focus a lot of the time.

    Having watched studio feed webcams, all be it briefly, in the past it was nothing short of dull dull dull. Its alright if you're watching something actually interesting like the live Lounge with Fearne Cotton or Chris Moyles on breakfast back in the day, but the majority of webcams are literally trained on a lone dj in the studio .. which is a yawnfest after about 2 minutes. id also say its fairly off-putting for the djs too.

    lots of dublin stations and today fm were using them up to around 2 years ago

    no carts, cd or record players used in the studios so yeah they were boring

    Do Radio Nova still do it? Personally I think it takes the mystery out of it.
