I always prefer to capture audio and use the "make next" approach, as I believe Alan pointed out. It sounds better to me than fading a song out as they start their big finish....or 30 seconds after the song starts.
When you used to have have to hit a timed event, things were different. In the world of Rivendell, you really never have to hit a timed event. I personally like to record, download, drop or import items into Rivendell so I can see/hear /clean-up/trim before it airs. We record our 1 minute news every hour, at the bottom of the hour and play it @ :40.
