You can achieve a simple Traffic Scheduling system within Rivendell by creating an event called 'Play a Commercial' which selects a cart from the TRAFFIC group.
If you have 10 advertisers and you have 1 cart each the system rotates them through. They tend to get 1/10 of the avails. You can day part cuts and advertisers and use the Scheduler Codes to distinguish ROTATE NEWS SPORT WEATHER We had some advertisers on some days and not others. The log was always full, so we placed only as many avails as we needed as we grew the client base. All clients were sold on a package per week which gave them 10 a day, all got more and no one complained. We Put 1 or 2 EVENTS in the CLOCK at the appropriate time. Our Sport Associate Ad event Picked a TRAFFIC CART with SPORT Scheduler Code. Of course you then have to sell advertisers based on the way the system works but the cost of a proper scheduling system loaded on to the spot rate soon persuades them that what you offer is probably going to work. http://hds.net/trafficlight.htm may be an option Regards Robert On 23/08/2011 22:13, Emanuele Campagnolo wrote: > Hi, I'm sorry if I ask about another topic but I read that you program > the traffic from the natural log of Rivendell. > I just can not understand how the traffic system in Rivedell. > Could you show me how to program advertising directly from Rivendell and > merge it with the musical log, please? > > Thanks for attention. > Emanuele. > > 2011/8/23 Beau Gast <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> > > List, > > Has anyone been successful in having Selector schedule a timed event > via a command string contained in a music playlist?
