Modern production tech means there is no reason for TV to get the 5 Live radio production elements like TOH etc, it's a simple submix of the programme minus radio playout. Even for automated content variation triggered by radio playout.

However it sounds like some form on manual vision/audio mix for TV is being done.

The big test will be how well setup for both media the studio and guest shots; how contribution is handled - Skype style invision guests like Talk Radio TV, or pic/name screen old school style; is there B roll to illustrate items/break up long shots and is there a sence of editorial studio Direction (cutaways, reaction shots etc)

I would expect them to use the same audio for both the radio and TV broadcast. It's certainly possible to have different mixes for each, but that seems like unneccessary complication.

And if I had to guess one way or another I would say that they probably won't give BBC Two a nice opt out tomorrow for the snooker. Maybe if it looks bad enough they'll sort something out later in the week.

I wonder if they've retrofitted the ability to play in recorded video elements from the radio studio (which I don't think they could previously do), or if they're playing those in from a TV gallery.
