‣ Section 3: Working with Radio 2 This section contains information on; The Commissioning process Delivery requirements o Programme o Technical o Press & Publicity Interactive o Interactive Overview The broadcasting world is changing fast and our audiences want to find our programmes wherever they appear. To help them, we need to make sure programmes are delivered on time, to length and with the necessary associated information. As well as the wider changes, Radio 2 is playing out parts of the schedule automatically, removing live continuity announcements. This means the Radio 2 schedule needs to run exactly to time. To enable this, the scheduling team will be responsible for building the schedule in exact, hour long chunks. The changes required to help them do this are set out below Another benefit of hitting programme junctions accurately is no more problems with iPlayer clipping the ends of programmes. Delivery requirements … Pre-recorded programmes Programmes to be delivered 4 weeks prior to transmission Programmes to be delivered to exact durations – confirmed by Julian Grundy Programme descriptions to be provided 5 weeks prior to transmission Built trails to be exactly 45 seconds long Live programmes Programmes to be delivered to exact durations – confirmed by Julian Grundy Programme descriptions to be provided 5 weeks prior to transmission Built trails to be exactly 45 seconds long The Output Core Output of Radio 2 The majority of programmes - the core output - are long-running strands which are produced either by Radio 2 producers or a small group of Independent companies. When the strands produced by Independents come up for renewal they are put out for tender using the process described below. Non - Core output of Radio 2 Commissioning rounds take place twice a year to complement the core output. It is within these rounds that ideas are sought for a wide range of documentaries, specialist music, comedy, event and other programming. Readings are commissioned alongside special events or seasons. If you are an Independent Production Company, and want to enter offers to radio 2 commissioning rounds, please sign up to the BBC Radio Independent Production Company database using this Pro- Forma. 7
