In 2017, I worked as the On-Site Production Coordinator for BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend in Hull, managing key logistics for crew and suppliers at one of the UK's biggest music festivals.
Alongside the core production work, I supported Radio 1's first on-site Periscope livestreams, helping set up and maintain internet connectivity for the digital team to ensure smooth, reliable broadcasts.
The Periscope work was an experiment with new channels. There wasn't really a template for producing a live festival stream on a platform like that, so the team was working it out as we went. My role was supporting that build and helping keep things stable on the way to air.
