Who this list is for
This checklist is built for a two-person radio team handling a live remote broadcast at a community event. It’s for local stations that need to cover the basics—broadcast gear, connectivity, and presence—without bringing a full studio setup.
How to use this list
Begin by confirming your remote broadcast schedule and double-checking the venue contact number. Review parking and load-in instructions before heading out. Bring broadcast permission confirmation to avoid last-minute issues. Pack your portable broadcast mixer, broadcast laptop, and charger. Set up the mobile internet hotspot with its charging cable and a backup SIM card. Don’t forget two station microphones, stands, windscreens, and headphones for both team members. Check each item off as you load it into your vehicle.
Common mistakes
Don’t assume venue access—always have permission confirmation handy. Forgetting the laptop charger or hotspot cable can end your broadcast early. Avoid bringing only one microphone or headset; always pack a spare. Skipping windscreens leads to poor audio if it’s breezy. Not having a backup SIM card can leave you offline if the main one fails.

Day-of
Arrive early to set up and test all connections. Secure your load-in spot and check in with venue staff. Confirm internet connectivity and audio levels before going live. Keep the schedule and venue contact number close by in case of changes. After the broadcast, pack up all equipment, double-check nothing is left behind, and update your station on any issues for next time.
