Ever since I put my "My Yahoo!" page together, including bookmarks to all my favorite prep sites, it takes me about one and a half to two hours to do prep for a three hour shift.

"My Yahoo" has been my secret weapon, also. I have been asked how I know things...I respond I'm a "readaholic"...When prepping for a "10-in-a-row" (pre-programmed) music show, I might take an hour or two...when doing a talkshow, I prep "all the time" (after the last show).I try to go with what my audience will respond to (locally, nationally...whatever).

Between an hour and two hours for a four hour music show. The one hour new music show takes more time because we're finding and editting our own music.

When I'm on the internet, I'm constantly prepping. I'll use anything that I think might work. Actual prep time: minimum 4 hours a day (I'm doing 2 shows a day)

I'd have to say I do the same thing. I'll file things away (both on my computer and in my mind) if I think my audience will find them interesting. The My Yahoo! page lets me get to those things faster while I'm on the air.

I'll spend maybe 15 minutes printing info from the main sites I use, then I'll prep as I go during the show. I found out that it can be much easier on me to prep as I go instead of getting a ton of information that I won't even use. Besides, I use prep services, so it's all there for me.

Oh! We're being honest?! ;DIn that case, I prep for about 20 minutes a day. The time it takes to glean everything I can use from The Complete Sheet. Best prep service I've ever had and the ONLY one I need.

For a one hour call-in sports show, I tend to prep for about three hours or so during the week, and then another hour before the start of the show. I do tend to be a bit compulsive though. Hey, is there a prep service out there that covers sports talk, or should I do as I have been doing and hit ESPN, CNNSI, the papers, etc?
