One thing I've used day parting for is show adverts. I can schedule a "show advert" slot in all the clocks and all I have to do is make the cuts invalid so that the breakfast show advert doesn't play during the breakfast show etc.
I also do it with monthly/weekly competitions and recorded news/weather. I can keep adding cuts but only make them valid for whatever dates/times. Oh and the usual contact us jingles, I don't really mind what plays as long as one of them does.
