The '''studio clock''' is a rather important piece of equipment that not only tells you the time, but also other important information.

== Why is the studio clock important? ==
The studio clock is the authoritative reference for time in URY; your show starts and ends are defined relative to whatever the studio clock is saying (when it's working).
In addition, the clock is the first port of call for quite a lot of useful information, primarily '''silence detection''' and '''news cues''', which produce alerts on the studio clock when you need to deal with them.
== Studio Clock Locations ==
There are three studio clocks as of writing:
* Above the window between the [[Office]] and [[Studio 1]], on both sides;
* Above the window between [[Studio 2]] and [[Studio 1]], on the Studio 2 side.
