See Shows

Select the See Shows option to view the Assignment Grid or the Schedule of the Stations Shows. The Assignment Grid and Schedule are populated by import from the organization’s single source of truth for schedule content.

If shows are enabled for a station, and there is no current metadata output from the playout system to display (no song, no spot block, and no text content) AudioDisplay will fallback to the show title or station slogan. AudioDisplay checks the station’s show schedule and if there is a show present, the show title is delivered. To avoid brand starvation, the next time this fallback point is reached, during the same show, AudioDisplay will deliver the station’s default slogan. The show title and station slogan are delivered in turn, but the show title is always the first content displayed when a show is reached for the first time.

For Example: Assuming the station is enabled for shows and there is a schedule. If the station is airing a syndicated or network show and not playing songs locally, there may be long pauses between metadata to display. AudioDisplay will send the show title at the start of the show, then rotate between station slogan and show title whenever current metadata expires. AudioDisplay also performs a keep-alive send every 15 minutes if nothing else is triggered, which will rotate between station slogan and show title. 

However, there will probably be a local ad break within 15 minutes. In that case, AudioDisplay will display the Campaign, if one is booked and if not, it falls back again showing the station slogan or show title in rotation.
