Repeat as needed
Choose regular intervals, a list of exact times, a one-off date or a random minute each hour. Weekday selection separates working days, weekends and the station's special programming needs.
Music and programming / AURA
Central Planning for radio programme schedules
Rules handle recurring content; your exceptions handle special days.
Central Planning schedules trails, station IDs, features and other prepared recordings across days and weeks. Define when content repeats, which versions alternate and how long they remain valid. The preview shows future slots, while exceptions change only a selected event or day. The same rules maintain programme commitments in live and automated programming.
SPECIFIC CAPABILITIES
What you can do.
Multiple versions of the same message
Add several recordings to a rule, alternating in order or in a shuffled cycle. Each slot selects one recording, so the same announcement can sound more varied throughout the day.
Validity and permitted delay
Set validity separately for the rule and individual recordings. A deadline defines how long a planned item can wait for a suitable transition, so an outdated message does not remain scheduled indefinitely.
Review before saving
For a selected date, review slots, chosen recordings and deadlines, plus warnings about unavailable files. Check the actual schedule before including the rule in everyday programme preparation.
Daily exceptions
Skip a single slot, replace its recording or omit the rule for one day. Other days continue to follow the prepared logic without needing a series of separate new rules.
AI assistance and a unified day view
Turn a schedule description into an AI proposal, review it and apply it to the form. Alongside programme items, the calendar shows individual events, advertising breaks and available music rotation.
BUILT-IN TOOLS AND AREAS
More within the module.
These features belong within this module and support different stages of everyday work.
Recurring programme items
Four repetition modes, days and validity, recording selection and an acceptable start deadline.
Daily schedule and exceptions
Calendar, multiple programming sources, individual and recurring events, and replacement or skipping of one slot.
AI assistance for rules
A description of the desired schedule becomes a form proposal that the operator checks and saves separately.
How would this work
at your station?
Add three trails for the same show and set days, intervals and an end date. Check the schedule in the preview and save the rule. If a special event changes the plan, skip one slot or replace its recording while the others continue according to the prepared logic.
