It would seem following Boris's statement today that the broadcast schedule can
still continue as planned and the rule of 6 remains largely unchanged.
However, I believe we should be prepared for things changing, even during
broadcast, if the current measures have no effect on the rise in Covid-19.

yes , im not going to break the law by letting people in the back gate . Lets
hope it dosent happen , they announce these things on a Thursdays normally so
we might not know til last minute .
i feel we should go ahead with out present plan .
if last minute they announce restrictions , we can do the same as last time
with Robo Jock filling in .
im very covic aware with my customers so anyone that come to my house will be
treated like that .

My son is now working from home which makes things a little difficult for me
during the daytime as he need the studio as his office. I will, however, be
trying out in the next couple of days my laptop on the dining room table which
may provide some extra availability if needed.

** Hastings Rock Radio **
I can open up the whole "remote in" option again if there is sufficient
interest. As a reminder, all a DJ needs is a mic, headset and a PC with
Internet access. Hooking it in should be easy enough as this time
around it'd be running on a different machine.
This also means that if anyone wants to do some training whilst we're
on air, that can be accommodated as well since it won't disrupt the
output. Obviously they'd need to let me know when they want to use it
as I wouldn't plan to leave the machine running all the time.

My guess would be that the best contingency plan is as follows.
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. Cheers R

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.
