TV Station Tycoon — Hotfix Update (October 30)

TV Station Tycoon · published · build 26330192

Hey everyone!

I've been working on quite a few fixes and improvements today, mostly based on the feedback you've been sending me. Thanks to everyone who reported issues and helped me track them down! :)

Here's what's changed:

Scheduling Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where clicking on scheduled shows wouldn't open their details anymore.

  • You can now select scheduled shows again to change advertising slots and check popularity, fatigue, and forecasts.

  • Fixed the Compact timeline jumping back to morning when dragging and dropping shows.

  • Improved dragging and scrolling behavior, especially when moving shows around later in the day.

  • Fixed a few issues with removing scheduled shows.

Compact Scheduler Improvements

  • Cleaned up the Compact View to make it much easier to read.

  • Removed unnecessary clutter, covers, and overlapping information.

  • Improved how short and long programs are displayed.

  • Fixed tooltip positioning so program information stays visible without getting in the way.

  • Detailed View is now the default for new games. Compact View is still available if you prefer it.

Archive Improvements

  • Added sorting by license expiration date, including Expiring Soon and Expiring Last.

  • Expiring Soon is now the default sorting option.

  • Moved the Renew License button higher up, so you don't have to scroll down to renew a show.

  • Your preferred sorting option is now remembered.

Other Fixes

  • Fixed misleading rerun penalty information. Series exposure and actual episode rerun penalties are now displayed separately.

  • Added audience filtering in the Marketplace for Kids, Teens, Adults, Seniors, and Families.

  • Updated translations for the new interface changes.

  • Made some smaller UI and interaction fixes.

What's Next?

For now, I'm focusing on fixing bugs, improving stability, and polishing what's already in the game rather than adding new features.

I'm developing this game solo, so I really appreciate everyone taking the time to report bugs and share feedback. It genuinely helps me figure out what needs attention.

If you notice anything else behaving strangely after the update, please let me know!

Thanks again for playing and supporting TV Station Tycoon! :)
