• All commercials, public service announcements, and programming must be listed on the log. The individual will go over all commercial orders and make sure that the information needed for the log is complete.
• If your assistant is doing this, then the manager will be responsible for reviewing the completed daily log. Every advertisement must be listed with the exact time and date it is to be aired.
• He/She is required to check daily logs after the broadcast day. He or she must make sure that all commercials that were to be aired were done and will see to it that on-air personalities and announcers either check off or initial each entry.

• He or she must make sure when this is done that the daily log is changed and corrected. There is a no room for error in this position. The log sheets will eventually go for review.
• He/She is frequently expected to review commercials for content. The individual must check each commercial and all ad copy for material that either the station would find objectionable, sexist, or racist.

• The Head of Advert/Traffic may be called upon to change the daily log in order to fit in an advertiser who wants to buy a lot of time. He/She will try to do this in an easy way as possible without changing the entire day’s scheduling.
