91热爆

Dave Walters (Technology Controller, 91热爆 Radio) Proteus is radio's network management tool where we create the radio stations in the first place. It's where we then commission and schedule our programmes. Also we manage the programme, so we describe them for the audience. We put the data in for the production flow process and it's also where you get paid. So Proteus really is at the heart of everything that we do.

Candace Wilson (Production Co-ordinator, 91热爆 Radio) I've been using Proteus for about four to five years. I use Proteus to search for many different things, whether it's looking ahead at my programme, you know, I can go in the search field, see when the transmission dates are.

Rachel Tappin (Business Manager, 4 Extra) At Radio 4 Extra, Proteus is the main resource for all our programme information. So we use it to refer to running orders and music reporting and any rights information. Further down the line, we also look at compliance forms and programme descriptions. When we select a program to repeat on Radio 4 Extra, the first thing we do is check the running order to make sure that all the information is there. When the programme information has been correctly input, it creates a lot less work for the Radio 4 Extra team. It also means that we can repeat and pay all the contributors.

Candace Wilson (Production Co-ordinator, 91热爆 Radio) You can use Proteus throughout the day, I know that I do. There's so many things to do with Proteus, for example music reporting, running orders. We can get ahead before the programme is broadcast and fill in the details as and when we have them. But if it's after the broadcast, then you have to make sure that you press the right button, so it filters through the right archive departments.

John Partington (Editor, Multiplatform Tools and Data Services) In Proteus, there's a description page and that's the bit that I really care about, because the description page goes public. So your words go out in front of the audience on online platforms. And by online platforms, I mean things like this, the tablet app and the mobile app. This is the schedule page for Radio 2 and these words say what's actually in the programme. We're competing for a share of the air against other people who've got rich and interesting offers. We need to show that our offer is rich and interesting as well. And it's driven by the words on the description page that you write.

Katie Pollard (Legal and Business Affairs Manager, 91热爆 Radio) When we go into Proteus we'll be looking to see whether the delivery paperwork has come through on time following transmission and delivery. And this means that we can make the second half or final payment to the independent producer.

Lesley Eaton (Business Affairs Manager, 91热爆 Radio) We're looking for the five green boxes that mean the programme's broadcast form has been completed, now known as the running order, the music reporting and the compliance has all been completed and the second half payment or delivery payment can be made to the supplier and without my team having to go and check with anybody else in the network.

Candace Wilson (Production Co-ordinator, 91热爆 Radio) So the search function in Proteus is really great. Why? It allows you to keep track of everything. For example, if it's a green tick, you know it's been done. But if it's yellow, you know there's a little bit more to do. It just makes sure that you're on top of all your programme paperwork.

Oscar Paul (Technical Senior Media Manager, 91热爆 Archives) Proteus is the primary record holder for radio information. So we embed that information into the files as they go into the archive. That means that producers and programme makers are able to search material, they're able to make really good re-use of that content, and extract the most value out of the programmes that they're producing. From an archive point of view, it also gives us an overview of material coming into the archive and enables us to make decisions on what we want to keep and for how long. And we have a remit to create and preserve and store an enduring cultural memory for the 91热爆.

Katie Pollard (Legal and Business Affairs Manager, 91热爆 Radio) For us, Proteus is a really good thing. It's slick, it's informative and it saves us a lot of time, doesn't it? It does, and the team find it really easy to use. Proteus is a system that we use inside and outside of the 91热爆. It helps us all work together. It's a great way of making great programmes for our audiences.

Once you’ve logged into Proteus, you can search for your programme by selecting, ‘Programme/Transmission Search’.

Search for your programme and once you’ve found it, under the title, you'll find all the paperwork you need to fill in, including… ‘Description’ - this is for your public facing data, also known as programme descriptions.

‘Compliance’ - which you'll need to fill in if your content’s pre-recorded.

And ‘RO items’ - this is your running order and your record of contributors, copyright material usage and music.

So let's take a look at the ‘Description’ page. From here, you can select other paperwork pages from the top.

This is the ‘Compliance’ page.

And finally, your running order items, including music reporting.

You can find out about all of these in the Proteus support collection.
