[cma-l] Advert scheduling

That's pretty much how we have worked for 13 years too - a time-honed Excel
workbook and some time-saving macros.

 

It prints a log sheet for the studio showing exactly what should be played
in which programme segments, and the actual times of broadcast are filled in
by presenters as a permanent log of what went out when.

Hi Bill,

 

We use the old fashioned way of a paper spreadsheet created on a pc with
manual insertions of how many & which time slot they should be played in.

 

I'm in every week day so I can update them as needed, does use a bit of
paper and tipex but works well for the time being.

 

Also this way I can make sure that voices or businesses don't clash in the
same advert block.

 

This way hopefully they cannot be avoided or bumped down the playout list as
it is written in front of them what to play when and I can check how many
times it had been played on our playout system and then work out who is not
playing them..... which is not advisable (I'm a scorpion...)

 

It may be old fashioned but has worked well ever since we started doing our
trials in 2006 and since we were allowed 2015 to run adverts after we
launched full time in 2013 and the rules were changed.
