How did it work before?
The studios and traffic operations team run on a tight schedule. Each week, they check the availability of their freelance crews via email or phone. Based on this information, the production managers create their schedules in Excel and then email them to their teams.
“We schedule live broadcasts and recordings in our studios daily, operating 7 days a week, 365 days a year. In addition to our permanent staff, we rely on over 160 freelancers across about 20 different roles.”
