You get your playlist, pre-record the links, drop them in-between the songs, drop in a few jingles, trails etc. and save it. Then some producer put's all the shows in the correct order, hit the Auto button and away you go until 4am on monday.
Exactly. On the Myriad system which the Milestone group used to use (before they flogged all their stations), you actually sat there, listened to the end of one song, could start speaking over it, then it would end, carry on link, then you could fire the next song and talk up to the vocal or whatever and basically it just sounded truly live. A great system for saving money - of course they then only paid the freelance jocks for the hour it took to record rather than the 5 hours if they were live!
