How to prepare

Show preparation structure.

A guide to preparing for a show — applicable to TV and radio. Last-minute planning will not result in a successful or engaging show, so start working at least 14 days before your show airs.

Use the Show Script Template as a guide when you are preparing your show. When sending images and videos, please label them properly so we can place them in the correct segment.
