I have spoken to Steve this morning and he is gonna do a contingency schedule
which will involve 3 hour shows and Robojock as the May broadcast was.
Hopefully we won’t have to put it into place.

If it’s impossible (which I feel it may be) for Not only Steve to re plan
the whole schedule but also the presenters to be free for the extra time
Slots. My feelings would be to utilise Robojock. It would be a last resort
and an extreme measure but with only two weeks to go it seems the least
stressful step to take for all involved.
An explanation jingle could be scheduled into Robojock times to apologise and
explain the situation.
Let’s be honest this broadcast is a testing the water thing anyway and not
our main broadcast. It’s only two weeks That said I know we need to look and
sound as professional as possible.

Unfortunately Sarah I think you're right to be worried.
Things certainly don't look good now, and are probably going to get worse
before they get better.
Our only hope is that any restrictions are done on a local basis, and at the
moment at least, the Hastings area is doing reasonably ok.
If that continues, we may be ok, but who knows....
I think our problem lies in the fact that we are planning on having more
DJ's than last time, with several planning on using yours & Nick's studio,
plus we've lost at least one DJ we used last time.
As you say Steve could try & plan a DJ schedule for a 'lockdown' type
scenario, but that's a lot of work & would he be able to cover all the slots
at such short notice with less DJ's anyway? Don't forget we go live in two
weeks time!

I am not scaremongering here, but I am getting rather nervous about all this
talk about 'lockdown' and 'tighter restrictions'.
Should we be considering a contingency plan? Particularly if DJs are
prevented from using other people's studios.
Sorry Steve, this could make more work for you, but I think we should look
to mitigate the risk.
