    Time and Pacing

    Radio programs must adhere to strict timing guidelines as time is the commodity being sold to advertisers. Programs should be paced to fill their allotted time slots, whether 30 minutes, 45 minutes, or an hour, while allowing for commercial breaks and a 30 second cushion at the end. Directors must carefully time each element and have an emergency cut prepared in case the program runs long during its live airing to ensure the scheduled time slot is not exceeded.
