[cma-l] Outside broadcasting recommendation

[Associated Broadcast Consultants]

Perhaps even easier, even more reliable and arguably better on-air sound is
to use a digital recorder and email segments back to the studio.

- Listeners will not know it is live (why does it matter if it's minutes
later?)
- People at the event will not be listening to the radio, or if they do
they might stand a chance of hearing themselves
- It's less risky - in case of naughty words, or the person just freezes
- Much smoother transition from studio to event.  The presenter will have
pre-listened to it and know how to handover into and out of it
- avoid technical glitches like mobile network congestion, poor coverage
etc.

Simples!
