Organize the planning of your Radio Station

  • Updated

This video tutorial shows you how to manage your Planning.

Plan your programs and your playlists, organize your calendar, choose your programming at a fixed time or accept a delay of a few minutes. Finally, repeat your program when you want to. Find all this and much more in this video.

 

The planning works like a calendar. You can use it to plan your programs and playlists. Put simply, it's an efficient way to organize your broadcasts.

1) Head over to Scheduling > Planning 
2) Drag an drop your content onto the planning according to the time slot/ day you want to broadcast it

Careful: You cannot move your slot from one day to another, but you can move the slot on the same day.

Once your content has been placed, right click on the slot to edit it. A window appears, offering you several possibilities.


GENERAL

• Date: choose the start date of your content.
• Start: choose the start time for your content.
• End: choose the end time for your content.
• Type: you can choose whether your content will broadcast sequentially (in order) or randomly. 
• Play at fixed time: if you want to make sure that your content is broadcast at a fixed time and does not wait for the end of another content, you can activate this button.
• Tolerance: when Play at fixed time is activated, you will be able to select a maximum delay tolerance (choose 0, to play at fixed time).

Top Tip: When you edit the scheduling of a playlist, you can click the magic wand under General so that the broadcast time of your playlist is automatically calculated from the start time of your playlist.

Top Tip: you can schedule your content up to 6 months in advance!


INCRUSTATION

Incrustations allow you to incrust an element every x minutes within a time slot, however, for more precision in your broadcast, you are advised to use Breaks or the Planning. We invite you to leave None if you do not want to include an incrustation.

• Track: choose the title from your Library that will be incrusted in your slot. You can also choose its repetition.
• Playlist: Choose the number of titles in a selected playlist. You can also choose its repetition.
