The end of an era. For years we as producers have submitted what are known as Pres to the Radio 4 scheduling team. A Word document allowing the continuity announcers, when live on air, to link into a programme and link out, often known as the back anno. However from the 29th of January these details will be submitted and accessed electronically, via the BBC's production site Proteus. Thus today as I submitted the pres details for a repeat of Tweet of the Day, it struck me that this willow tit information will be the very last time I'll complete one of these forms. Change is happening right across the industry, it seems to be accelerating as change often does. RIP presentation details, a large part of my working life for many years.
