How should the log be filled?

• A. The log page records only the air-time
• B. There is a sign in page, where you sign your name and air time; then there is a log page: time you played a legal id, when and what PSA and TCA you played, whenever it is needed
• C. You sign in on a clipboard and the log is optional
• D. The log page tracks only the PSA numbers

Answer: (B)

Recording who is on duty and exactly what is aired is essential in broadcast logging. The correct approach involves a sign-in page where you record your name and air time, followed by a log page that notes the time you aired a legal ID and specifies which PSA and TCA were broadcast, whenever needed. This combination ensures accountability (who is responsible) and regulatory compliance (that required identifiers and messages are aired and properly documented). The other options miss important parts: one only mentions air-time, which leaves out who on duty and the required on-air identifications; treating the log as optional ignores the need for a documented record; and logging only PSA numbers omits the specific timing and the legal ID and the exact PSA/TCA details that were broadcast.
