Hey Lorne, No offense intended: My first reaction to this post was, "don't do that!" Why is the station changing its programming so drastically so often? I'm not judging, but it simply seems "bad" radio to me. As a listener, I'd become confused if the schedule changed this frequently.
Could you perform a similar operation with the half-hour fill clock and a "generic" event that plays the half-hour show using a macro? I can't think of an example macro off hand, but it seems like you could do this with a bit more "smarts" (i.e., code in a shell/perl/python/etc. script). ~David Klann On 07/02/2018 12:05 AM, Lorne Tyndale wrote: > Hi, > > Yes, using fill music can work, but I'd almost like a way that I can > specify the half-past mark.
