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? ==~~

+

== Timelord ==

−

~~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.

The current studio clock system was written by [[Lloyd Wallis]] in 2011ish as a massive improvement over previous trials using xclock or something like that.

It has some pretty cool features:
