What does the day look like?
If you are a morning anchor, your day starts at 03:30 or 04:00. Evening anchors work from 14:00 to 23:30. Shifts are irregular — weekend duty, bank holiday coverage, and on-call status for breaking news are standard contract requirements.
The on-camera part is only 15 percent of the day. The largest share, 45 percent, is editorial preparation: pitching stories at the morning rundown meeting, fact-checking wire feeds from Reuters and AP, and rewriting reporters' copy so it works when read aloud. Another 25 percent goes on technical coordination — working with gallery directors and producers, reviewing video packages, and testing the IFB earpiece that lets producers talk to you live. The remaining 15 percent is post-broadcast: recording voiceovers for promos and cutting short clips for social media. Throughout the day you work inside newsroom computer systems such as Avid iNEWS, AP ENPS, or Octopus, and you read on-air from an Autoscript or Autocue teleprompter.
