Setlist & Stage Cue Timeline
Live Production Cue Sheet (Broadcast Standard)
Precision Timing for Live Broadcasts
Late-night television shows like Jimmy Kimmel Live! (including special Brooklyn Week tapings) and network concert broadcasts operate on rigorous master control time slots. Bands like Goose trim extended jam arrangements down to single-measure precision to avoid commercial cutoff or network affiliate hard breaks.
Hard Stop vs. Soft Fade
Commercial triggers leave zero leeway. If a performance runs 10 seconds long, television automated affiliate switching cuts the audio instantly to sponsor breaks.
Web-Exclusive Segmenting
Tag extra tracks as Web Exclusives so audio engineers and lighting directors have separate cue lines that do not affect network on-air clock limits.
Host Walk-On & Drum Pad
Factor in Jimmy's intro (~15s) and final sign-off outro to ensure applause and commercial throw markers land exactly on target.
