Each
week four separate weekly news editions are produced covering the Farnham, Alton, Fleet
and Haslemere areas and on the first Monday of the month a monthly magazine is recorded. A
recording normally runs for 78 minutes (the maximum time for a CD recording) to allow time
for the later dubbing of the opening and closing music.
The production team for each of the weekly news editions comprises a presenter, three
readers and a recording engineer and for the monthly magazine a presenter, two readers and
a recording engineer. The presenters are responsible to the programme director for
the quality of the editing and reading standards.

The Editing Room Team |
Prior to each recording the presenter
and readers edit the local newspapers to select the most interesting stories and to trim
down the size of the stories to enable more to be read during the recording time
available.
The recording engineer is responsible to the technical director for the technical quality
of the recording. After the recording session the recording engineer edits the
recording to remove any 'fluffs' and reading errors and dubs on the opening and closing
music. He/she then creates the tracks and writes the recording to a master CD and to
the required number of USB memory sticks.

The Recording Studio Team |
Following the completion of the
recording production assistants are responsible for the copying of the master CD and
inserting the copied CDs and USB memory sticks into mailing wallets ready for despatch.
Prior to despatch the mailing wallet address label barcodes are scanned to record
the issue sent to the listener.
Monthly
Magazine
In addition to the weekly news recording each
listener also receives a monthly magazine which is normally recorded on the first Monday
of each month.
The magazine includes longer feature articles from the weekly newspapers and stories from
local magazines which are felt to be of special interest. Each month we include an
interview with a local personality whom we think will be of interest to our listeners.
The material for the magazine recording is normally selected by the presenter prior
to the recording and then he or she is joined by two readers and a recording engineer for
the recording session.
The magazine is edited and copied in the
same way as the weekly news recordings to both CD and USB memory stick. Each USB
memory stick normally contains both the magazine and the news recordings.
