In fact, I've switched to TXFM from 8am to 5pm now for the past three or four months and I haven't heard a single blunder in all that time. I do wonder sometimes if it's put on with Ray. Maybe he thinks it's funny?

(This is based on the assumption that Today FM are using RCS, a program I'm not overly familiar with but have a basic understanding of) With music driven shows, it's very much a case of hit play on song, line up your bed and next track while that's playing. When the first track fades out, the bed fades in (or is a single button press away) and you talk over that. Then when you want the next track, you just hit next. Simples, you've oceans of time while songs are playing to plan what you're playing next. But with the RDS, Ray seems to line up a song ready to go after he's done talking. Then, naturally enough, the conversation sometimes runs long, and it's time for an ad break instead of a song. So Ray instinctively presses next, realises it should be an ad break, and proceeds with the "Stop, stop, eject, eject." spiel. It seems (at least to me) to be more of a lack of multi-tasking skills rather than ineptitude with the equipment. If you listen carefully to when this stuff happens, it's often on the back of a guest in studio. Ray is probably giving his full attention to the guest as opposed to watching the clock and moving around stuff on the computer.
