You're half way there already, I assume you're using a bash script via
cron. You can pass command line arguments to the script:
http://how-to.wikia.com/wiki/How_to_read_command_line_arguments_in_a_bash_script
E.g.
RN twitter.sh "The Awesome Show"! (you might have to space escape the
arguments e.g. The\ Awesome\ Show instead of speech marks)
Then in the bash script you can reference the arguments by $1, $2, $3
etc (depending on how many arguments there are).
So assuming to tweet you call tweetme $MYACCOUNT $MESSAGE you'd do:
tweetme $MYACCOUNT $1 (which would be replaced with The Awesome Show in
this example).

Hi guys,
As a question, has anyone come up with a way of tweeting from a macro?
What I'm looking at doing is a "now on air" tweet at the change of
each show. I currently do this off of a cron job, which works but is
not optimal. What I would prefer to do is to fire this from the log,
so that if there is a change to the schedule, it would automatically
be picked up from the log rather than having to update the cron script
each time.
I've looked into the RN Macro, but that doesn't easily allow you to
specify the contents of the tweet in the macro from what I can see.
