It's about headlines though isn't it - striking on budget day, for the Coronatio or in the Eurovision week, is more likely to grab headlines than a random day in a random week.

Most LRs managed to put out normal programming today despite some stations networking or taking a pre-recorded show this morning.

Considering LR programming has become more music intensive and not so reliant on journalists except for the news bulletins, it's given the impression for normal listeners in the unaffected areas that it's largely business as usual.

The only noticeable difference on Radio London today was that they had a freelance journalist read the news as well as travel and weather.
