Thanks Wayne and Drew, This would make sense, I wasn't sure on the overfilling the hour which you both mentioned, so I've done as Drew suggested, so added in a few very short 30 second entries into the hour clock to fill the last few spaces up.
I've then also modified my on the hour event to have a stop event on it. And just listened to the 2pm update (I regenerated and loaded in) and it did the job, so think thats worked great. Wayne: I was a little puzzled on the aux log part, do you mean you setup your aux log to crossfade your TOTH jingle, that way you can do fading?
