Top reasons why automation is better than part-timers

Best of all it saves money leaving more for the rest of us. And with Scott Systems it sounds exactly the same as if it were live, maybe even better......no mistakes.

I'd rather hear an occasional mistake. Perfect radio is perfectly boring. Sometimes a mistake can be turned into the funniest bit.

With automation, mistakes are rare, because everything is set up beforehand. But mistakes, when they do happen, can be quite glaringly obvious! Case in point:

My last station was (and still is) a Christian talker. It was (and probably still is) automated for some hours, even during the daytime, and watched and observed by office staff. One day, the automation for some reason skipped a program (in this case, a 15-minute program!), and no one there even noticed it, until they got a call from a listener about it! :eek: I would have hated to be the one who had to explain to our broadcasters why this one happened! (The office staff was there (and supposedly monitoring the programming!), yet no one caught it, except for a listener? OUCH!)
