SHIFTBOARD

The practical desk for the people who keep the station running between broadcasts.

When screenings, archive pulls, field crews, subtitle fixes, and room-change chaos all hit at once, this is the board everyone checks before shouting across the building.

Desk notes

The shift board exists because three rooms always need the same answer at once.

Keep it light enough for ancient laptops and damp cables.

Change your handle if somebody else is borrowing the desk after you.
