Today's update brings several improvements to scheduling, viewer statistics, marketing campaigns, and mobile usability.
We've fixed an issue where scheduled movies could disappear, improved the viewer counter to provide more useful hourly data, added campaign restrictions, and made the content picker easier to use on smaller screens.
We've fixed an issue where a second scheduled movie could disappear from the schedule when it didn't fully fit into the available time slot.
The content picker now prevents titles that are too long from being selected and clearly marks them as "Too long for this slot".
Movie blocks can no longer overlap with neighboring programs, and advertising slots are automatically limited so they cannot push a movie into another program.
Your scheduled content will now stay exactly where you placed it.
Targeted advertising campaigns are now limited to one active campaign at a time.
While a campaign is running, other campaign options are locked until it finishes.
This prevents overlapping loyalty boosts and ensures that each campaign has a clear and meaningful impact.
The Viewers counter in the top bar has been updated to show the audience from the most recently completed hour instead of the running daily total.
The number refreshes automatically when a new hour begins.
Hover over the counter, or long-press it on mobile, to see which hour the statistic represents.
The schedule content picker has received several improvements for smaller screens.
The sort dropdown now wraps onto a second row on narrow phones instead of being pushed off-screen.
We've also fixed the content list so the last title is always fully scrollable and selectable.
Some programs now have specific broadcast windows based on their theme.
For example:
Morning Coffee Chat — Morning
Morning Brew — Morning
Prime Time Quiz Show — Prime Time
Late Night Buzz — Late Night
The Late Show Tonight — Late Night
Locked titles display a 🔒 daypart badge and are disabled outside their available time window.
These restrictions also apply to auto-scheduling and auto-fill, ensuring the rules are respected throughout the scheduling system.
This update focuses on making the scheduling experience more reliable, readable, and consistent.
Scheduled content should never disappear unexpectedly, viewer statistics should provide useful information while you're actively managing your station, and the content picker should work just as well on mobile as it does on desktop.
The new daypart restrictions also add a little more character to the programming catalog — some shows simply belong at a particular time of day.
Plan your schedule with confidence, keep an eye on your audience, and build the perfect lineup.
