Which option describes taking over a broadcast that is already in progress?

• A. Join in Progress (JIP)
• B. Jump Cut
• C. Lip Flap
• D. Live

Answer: (A)

Joining in progress is the term used for taking over a broadcast that has already started. In live news or broadcasting, if an anchor or reporter comes on air partway through a program to cover breaking news or to relieve someone else, they’re said to join in progress. This captures the idea of entering midstream and continuing from the current moment.

Jump Cut is an editing move that creates a sudden jump from one shot to another, not about entering a live broadcast. Lip Flap refers to a mismatch between lip movements and audio, which is a technical issue, not the act of joining a program. Live describes the program being on air in real time, not the action of stepping into it mid-broadcast.
