This may not apply if you are outside the US, but at least here the rule for ID's is "as close as possible to the top of the hour as possible, given a natural break in programming" (paraphrased). So playing 10 or 15 minutes in after the dead jam would be fine, on the occasion that one happens to play that close to the ID. How often is that? Another possibility would be controlling your scheduler better to not play a long cart within 15 minutes of TOH, which could be accomplished in different ways depending on your scheduler.

Background: We have a Grateful Dead show that features some of their live music. Some of those songs can run 20 or more minutes but some run only 3 minutes. We have clocks setup with music and normal timed events to try to keep the clocks running on time. One of those timed events is a Legal ID event which is setup as Segue/Timed/MakeNext so that it makes itself the next cart at the top of the hour. That all works well for songs that are 3 or 4 minutes because the legal plays out a couple minutes either side of the top of the hour. However, if one of the Grateful Dead songs starts at :50, it could easily go well past the top of the hour. I'd like to have an event that could play the legal but then continue the current cart. If there was a live jock in the booth it would be easy to do through the soundpanel or just live on the air. Is there a way to do that or am I stuck putting a hard start time and cutting off the current Grateful Dead jam and harshing everyone's mellow?
