Integrating Music and Traffic
AVScheduler imports traffic and music scheduling information, allows it to be integrated with other events such as news, weather, liners, and talk segments, and then combines and translates that information into a single Event File that AVAir can understand. The Event File lists every event in order from the Legal ID at midnight to the last song in the 11 o’clock hour.
For the on-air talent, having the single Event File is great because it’s like having all your carts pulled for the entire show. For the Programming staff, having the single combined file allows them to have a sequential overview of how all the elements in an hour or a day flow. For Traffic directors, AVScheduler allows you to check what is scheduled against what AudioVAULT audio files are actually available with a feature called Log Check. AVScheduler will also give the Traffic department a way to modify the AVAir schedule without having to go into the on-air studio. There are even reconciliations that will report discrepancies between what was scheduled in AVScheduler and what was actually played in AVAir.
AVScheduler is simply a way to integrate schedules from your Music and Traffic programs into a single Event File and interface those programs with the AVAir software. You’ll love it because of the flexibility it will provide.
