Playout Policy Management

 

Playout policies define a set of rules to ensure the correct tracks are played. Playout policies restrict artists and tracks from being repeated too often. They can be filtered by track group.

 

There are two type of playout policy, Track/Artist Separation Playout Policy and Daypart Separation Playout Policy

 

With Track/Artist Separation Playout Policy, it is possible to ensure that tracks in a track group of Songs are not repeated for at least 2 hours while ensuring tracks in a track group of Jingles are not repeated for only at last 10 minutes.

 

With Daypart Separation Playout Policy, it is possible to ensure that a track in the track group Songs is not repeated again in the same Daypart (e.g. Breakfast) for a period of days. This means regular listeners to the Breakfast show will not hear the same song repeated during the times when they regularly listen. Daypart Separation Playout Policies require the Advanced Scheduling module.
