How Radio Station Management is set up for you

Community radio often involves several contributors preparing programs at different times. A shared record of projects, tasks, content and program windows helps the station see who owns each handoff. People records can represent staff and contributors; the presenter reference ties a scheduled slot to a particular person.

Choose a small set of upcoming programs with different presenters. The programming coordinator records the windows, and the station manager reviews them before they are considered approved. For one program, create a project with a producer owner, a content item and an editing task. The producer attaches a file version; the editor and rights reviewer can then examine the version and its recorded agreement.

Agree how the station identifies volunteers in People and who maintains their active status. When a presenter changes, update the scheduled slot's reference so the calendar stays useful. When an attached version changes, keep the new version distinguishable from the prior upload. These conventions make the review queue easier to use when contributors work different hours. The editor can check the version and the rights agreement before approving the content item.
