BBC1 Broken

Do most channels have someone sitting there waiting for this to happen or does that voiceover chap have other roles in the BBC?

They're a bit like forum mods. Most of the time you don't realise they're there.....

I remember a foriegn station where the continuity and engineering team just watched a bank of TVs (one with sound) and drank beer for the evening while chatting up the weather girl...

Many of the voiceovers at junctions are recorded onto an audio server but yes, BBC 1 & 2 do have announcers in continuity booths at the playout center at White City.

Great stuff - do they do any other Jobs for the BBC apart from voice stuff? How long do you think the shift is?

Sounds like quiet a good gig if you can get it!
