Contingency Plan: Equipment
If there was an issue meaning that we wouldn't be able to use Sheffield Live's facilities to create our programme, we would firstly approach our college and ask our teachers if could possibly use the equipment the college has to create our programme. If this is not possible, we would secondly have to purchase the equipment ourselves using the final equipment list I created. The latter option is not ideal as we would have to source a budget to purchase the items. Alternatively, if the issue at Sheffield Live meant that we couldn't use their facilities on the day we selected, we will simply re-arrange to use their equipment at a more appropriate date. That should not be a problem because I allocated a full week to the recording stage in the production plan I created, and I made sure we had additional time before our deadline in the event of any problems occurred at any stage.
Contingency Plan: Presenters
If there was an issue meaning one or both of our presenters or even our interviewees were unable to attend a recording session then we would simply re-arrange the session onto a different day when everybody made sure they would be available. However, this should be avoided because we would ensure to have good communication with all parties and would avoid planning these recording sessions on days that people would be less likely to be able to attend. If an interviewee dropped out of the programme at short notice, we would ensure to have previously planned alternative content for the show to replace their section just in case. If a presenter dropped out of the programme all together, we would have a temporary presenter take over their position in the show until we secured a permanent replacement.
Contingency Plan: Broadcasting Times
If there was an issue with our broadcasting time, we would simply re-arrange the time we would like for our programme to be broadcasted. There is a strong possibility that Sheffield Live wouldn't be able to give us our preferred slot, as we would like our show to be broadcasted during the 'Aaj Ki Shaam' weekly Friday night slot from 7pm until 9pm, between 'Talking Balls' and 'Da Beat Down'. That is why this contingency plan is particularly important. We would ideally still prefer an evening slot between 7pm and 9pm because this is most appropriate for our target demographic, therefore we would ask Sheffield Live if there were any possibility of our show being broadcasted alternatively on either a Wednesday, Thursday or Saturday night. However, our show would still have to replace an existing programme as Sheffield Live's broadcasting schedule is almost fully booked up and the only free air time would be inappropriate for our audience. If all else failed, we would change the format of our programme and make it a podcast, so that our audience could access it at all times online, instead of being restricted to a weekly airtime slot.
