A lot of times, depending on your traffic software, it could be easy have traffic add these elements in as part of the break. If it can be done as part of a "traffic template" (usually on an hour by hour basis, if I understand correctly) then once it is set up, they don't have to deal with it on a day to day basis.

I have one client who does this: 1) Creates a music schedule, assuming there will be no spots at all. Each commercial break is filled with a song, and has a liner in front and another afterwards. 2) Creates a traffic schedule. 3) Runs a script to merge the traffic schedule into the music schedule, dropping the "fill song" from each break as the spots are added. 4) Imports the merged log into Rivendell. Filled breaks will run as liner, spots, liner; unfilled breaks will run as liner, song, liner.
