The Message and the Broadcaster. Last week, my head of programs was on the Evening drive shift and asked that I stand in for her. This is something we do as broadcasters,take the place of another if they will be unavailable. Her major program on that shift is a political show called "Prime Time". I had a good outing and stayed back for the Night show which I anchored primarily. After the shows that day, I paused, thinking through how I switched tones, moods and personality broadcasting that day. Every Program has its style, mood and tone and following these, ensures the success of the program. of course, you have to prepare for your programs, but the messenger must sound the part. What time on the radio broadcast your favourite programs? #explore #voice #communicate

Quick broadcast PR tip: please watch the show that you're pitching. You don't have to watch it religiously, but maybe once a week so you know what kind of thing is being covered. Producers do sometimes wonder why PRs would want their clients on a television programme they themselves don't tune into. For example, being asked when the show is on air, or getting the name of the show wrong (the one I work on is Business Live with Ian King), just displays a lack of interest in the work we do - and isn't a massive incentive to take the interview. From what I can tell, this basic info is available on Roxhill. Apologies for the rant, but this has become a very frequently committed error.

We are an incredibly creative industry, but when it comes to solving our own inherent problems we seem to be woefully lacking in creativity.... The use of new technology and workflows to reduce costs and increase creative options - such as Virtual Production - exists now, however the problem I witness is that (as alluded to in the article) a risk-averse attitude is permeating the whole industry, and so embracing new technologies is typically met with great reservation, or just point blank refusal to change. We need to change. For many it's too late, they've moved on, but for the rest of us out there - be bold and embrace new technologies. It may be the only way to get us out of this.
