I seem to recall a feature like that deep inside the Admin guts. Gonna go look 
later.

Here in Arlington VA, we have two side-by-side RD boxes running independently 
in one studio (why not? the software was free and computers are cheap!). Each 
runs its own log, based on a common template --- one we call "[day of 
week]_MAIN" and the other "[day of week]_ALT".  They are essentially the same, 
except the ALT logs are filled with pre-recorded material instead of wide open 
spaces meant for live Talk talent to perform. If at the last second we find out 
someone is not available for their show, or an ISDN feed fails during a show, 
we flip over to the machine running the ALT log, which fills with a pretaped 
show and never miss a beat.

Of course human intervention is involved, and we are pretty much staffed around 
the clock to handle such issues. Sometimes the Hand of Man is needed in certain 
situations.

Subject: [RDD] Fallback or "Emergency" log for RDAirPlay in case of missing log?

Is there any way to make RDAirPlay load and play a "default" or 
"fallback" log in case the next days log is missing?  As it stands now 
the system simply quits if the log being chained to is missing.

Other automation systems such as Scott Studios let you define a 
"default" log that gets loaded if it can't find the next daily log.
