Newstalk 1010 (on their own programming, 9 am forward) board opp'ing/technical production wasn't great today either. Gaps of silence when a clip didn't fire, wrong intros (Jerry Agar being introduced on Amanda Galbraith's show) or abrupt intro stops instead of fade-outs, the constant audible sound of Jerry Agar's typing and mouse-clicking, tentative or too-early music beds under Heather Seaman's news reports, etc.   There wasn't a single 10 or 15 minute segment without some type of problem.

To be fair, they're already cut to the bone staffing-wise in the most normal of workdays and holiday coverage is a notch below that, and lots of unique programming to generate today with lots of clips from the night prior, so the complexity is atypical - but the end result was still not great for the listener and that's all we should have to care about.
