This is the final step in the three step process. First you need to set up the Personalities / Jocks. Then you need to set up some Programs. Finally you want to set up the Schedules. If you follow these three step process it will make this so much easier to understand.

This tool has a lot you can do. If you have not set up a program or a personality / staff, then you will want to do those first before looking at this.

Adding a Schedule

You can create multiple schedules on your website for multiple stations or for something separate from your station's main schedule, but by default "On-air Schedule" is automatically made for you to use for your station.

To add in a brand new schedule, you can follow the steps shown below.

  1. Click the "Tools" tab.

  2. Select "On-Air Tools".

  3. Click "Schedule" to open the tool.

  4. Type out the name of your new schedule and click "Add Schedule".

  5. Click the name of your new schedule to start editing it.

If the tool already has a schedule you use for your station (e.g. "On-air Schedule"), you can skip Step #4 and start editing the schedule by clicking the schedule's name.

Editing a Schedule

To add in a new item in a schedule, you can follow the steps listed below.

  1. Select the day to plan to add your item in.

  2. Set up the times in the "Start Time" and "End Time" fields.

  3. Select the program and personality.

    1. At least one program and personality need to be already created in the "Programs" and "Personalities & Staff" tools so they can be set up in the schedule.

  4. Click the "Add Schedule Item" button.

Note: When setting up the schedule, make sure you build out your schedule for EACH day - starting and ending each day's schedule at 12:00 AM. Also, do not overlap your times or leave gaps in the schedule.

Optional: If a day like Tuesday will have the same schedule as another day, you can use the "Copy Schedule from" field. This allows you to copy a schedule from a day of your choice and apply it into the day you are currently editing. This, however, will override what you had in the day's schedule.

Setting Up a Special Schedule

If a jock will not be available on a specific date, or if an event or holiday is coming up that may interfere with your station's regular schedule, you can set up a Special Schedule. With the "Add/Edit Special Schedules" option, you can set up these special schedules to temporarily override any default scheduling on the website during the set dates you had these schedules set up for.

To utilize this option, you can follow these steps:

  1. When editing a schedule, click the "Add/Edit Special Schedules" button to open the option.

  2. In the option, select a date and the schedule you wish to copy from a day.

  3. After the special schedule is added, select it in the "View Schedule For" field.

  4. Add or edit items in the special schedule you selected.
