30th Nov - All day Strikes Coverage

Next Wednesday 30th November, WINOL is broadcasting live coverage on the strikes which are to be carried out due to changes to public sector pension schemes. Unite, Unison, NUT - National Union of Teachers are a few of those who will be striking.
In preparation for this day, we have cancelled WINOL this week, giving the reporters time to prepare their packages etc.
On the Day:
- 4 presenters - Hannah, Jake, Cara and Aimee
- Live OBs - London, Southampton, Winchester and Basingstoke
- In studio guests
- Team of production - in studio, producing the all day coverage

Within our latest meeting it was advised that we have a standard format for the show and to produce it in 15 minutes slots. By doing this we will all begin to understand the format and in times of stress this will be one less aspect to worry about. Every 15 minutes we will be showing adverts due to the equipments we use to broadcasting live.
Throughout the programme will we have presenters each alternating every hour or so, giving constant updates about the day; packages pre-recorded and edited to play throughout; live OBs from the 4 areas, using skype; and in-studio guests. We are aiming to be on air from 12-6pm (later if anything continues).

I will be in the studio all day on the Wednesday, helping to produce the show. As discussed n preparation for the show, Claire and I will be creating a new opening sequence, which will be played on the hour every hour; a shorter version of the opening sequence to be played after the adverts; and a 60 second countdown which can be used in the events of technical issues so the audience know the programme will be broadcast again in 60 seconds.
Aspects of this may still change.
