[peel] Milestones

[MARK LUETCHFORD]

Second that emotion around stats - we have a long way to go but good to know we have come so far and more stuff is turning up all the time

As for using audacity - I was (and still am) a technically incompetent but steve so.it.goes helped me via email to sort it.

Are these whole shows or edited?

And do you have anything else in your treasure trove?

Mark

Hi it's Karl of Karl's Tapes "fame" here.

Had some trouble re-registering under different names etc.

I have quite a bit from 1998. If Andrew can pop over to mine and teach me how to rip on Audacity I can do loads.

Cheers

Karl

That last stat should have read – 6 years have more than 50% of shows that 
are complete! 
 
I think the late 90s dip may have been a combination of the tailing off of 
using cassettes as a recording medium (DATs CDr etc never really achieving the 
ubiquity or ease of recording), the beginning of listen again functionality 
reducing the need to keep shows, and was the period just before archiving shows 
on PVRs became easy.
 
Thanks for the shows Colin and Isector!

Some amazing stats there Stuart. Thanks for taking the effort to 
collate them.

Don't know what was going on in 1998 but I only have 10 
as-yet-unshared tapes from that year myself.

Colin.

According to my List Of Shows page on the wiki we’ve passed a few important 
milestones in the availability of Radio 1 shows in recent weeks:
 
2/5ths of all Peel shows have at least some content recorded and 
available.
1 out of 5 shows have been preserved in their entirety.
Just over 1/3 of all Radio 1 output has been made available online.
 
There were just 6 minutes less than 666,666 minutes of Peel Radio One 
programming created.
 
Other interesting facts: 1998 is one of the worst years for show 
availability, you need to go back to 1977 for a leaner year.
6 years have more than 50% show availability, 1992, 1999, 2001, 2002, 2003, 
2004
