Recent run history
Most recent run is expanded below — click any other run to see its detail. Each run tries up to several attempts (iterations) and keeps the best one; that attempt is marked “selected.” “Aired” means it was broadcast as-is; “skipped” means even the best attempt still broke a hard rule (missing sign-off, a stray day name or greeting), so the previous bulletin stayed on air instead. A small number of older runs here predate this being tracked directly and show an unconfirmed guess instead. The quoted text in each iteration is exactly what that attempt generated, before any fixes below it were applied to later attempts.
