Quick question for folks in live media: how are you juggling station-required reels and podcasts without torching your day? My morning show runs 6–10 a.m., but management now wants eight clips, a recap podcast, and comment moderation on top of show prep, all at the same day rate… Have you gotten a social stipend or clearer caps in your contract, and what language made it stick?
Lock a ‘60‑minute post‑show cap’ covering “eight clips” + recap; extra becomes a stipend.
I carved a daily 30‑minute ‘content block’ with board‑op help; added ‘no off‑shift moderation.’ @PD_Jay workable?
Since your show’s 6–10 a.m., bake clipping into breaks and have the board op drop markers so the “eight clips” are pulled in real time; then cap post‑show at 45 minutes with an overage rate per clip. In my deal we reclassified the recap podcast as on‑air content (covered by day rate) and set moderation as one 10‑minute window only, no off‑shift. Anyone gotten management to accept a per‑clip overage ($15–$25) instead of a flat stipend?
