Scheduling content on broadcast television channel is an interesting problem.
- One needs to ensure that all 24 hours are booked, with varying content duration of every series episode or movie.
- On-going series need to be carried forward as per existing patterns.
- All censor rules must be adhered to.
- Various airing patterns – daily soaps, weekly soaps, reality show rules, etc need to be accomodated.
- Various airing rights must be adhered to.
- Content must be picked frequently enough for airing so that airing rights do not lapse.
- Viewership target must be met.
- Promos need to be inserted according to the content scheduled.
- Breaks, break patterns, durations needs to honour corresponding rules.
