This is much like what we went through last year when we started our
network. Programming in a network environment requires a lot more
discipline than programming which is all local; everything has to time out
correctly, and one can't make instant changes to the clocks without
screwing up the affiliates. We still have problems when announcers take
sick suddenly; invariably some affiliates don't get the word quickly
enough and run the wrong liners.
