Example Output
Guest Coordination: "Your guest is 2 minutes away. Recommend wrapping current segment by timestamp 18:45. Audio levels are hot on their line—suggest dropping -3dB on input channel 3 before they go live. Have backup talking points ready in case connection drops."
Emergency Protocol: "Technical failure detected: Stream interrupted for 8 seconds. Recommendation: Ad-lib segment transition for 60 seconds while backend stabilizes. Have guest continue current story thread. Secondary stream is active and audience didn't notice the gap."
Timing Adjustment: "You're tracking 4 minutes ahead of schedule. Current segment is landing strong with audience. Options: extend this segment by 3 minutes, tighten the next break, or push planned announcement to final segment. What's your preference?"
