We originally started off with 22 Hours original output (live')     YES !         we had two people who worked shifts, grabbed a bit of sleep and then did the graveyard stint    ......    11pm till 3am     and then 3am till 7am      Tom Sherratt and then our one and only 'Jumping Jim'            in fact, somedays we did 24 Hours original / local / home brewed / live'     defo Tues/Wed and Fri
This dropped to 17 and then down again to 14 and then down again to 12 .......... We hover now around 12 after the change in Key Commitments.
A word of warning though, when we dropped below 17 hours in the first instance, Ofcom came round with the heavy mob and dunked us all in the Canal and then gave us 1000 lines each   ''we must do better''    .............we try to be a bit more careful these days.

Subject: [cma-l] Advice on original output

Hi all
Wonder if I might take some advice. Is there a minimum for original output per week. Currently we are mandated to provide 49 hours / wk (so that's 7 live hours / day including weekends). This is proving quite stressful. Is that a standard expected of all stations? How do others manage?
