ABSTRACT
There are three distinct forms of communication within the staff: communication during the production phases, before going on the air; communication during the air show; and communication after the show. However thorough a minute-by-minute grid may be, by themselves grids are never sufficient to communicate all that has to be communicated. Meetings also help overcome the star-gazing and gee-whiz factors that can potentially distract staff members. Reviewing the show time and again makes everyone so familiar with it that its parts become second nature. The method of in-house communication is as unique to each show as are the format and technical structure. The format and timing have to be documented on hard copy so each staff member can read and reread them and carry the message that forms the basis for the show.
