Hello,

I may be having a problem of not seeing the forest from the trees, so I'm 
hoping the collective experience of the list helps.

Our station has sponsors for various specialty shows who have an ad rotation 
something like:

Widget Co:  3x per show
Another Co: 1x per show
A Third Co: 2x per show
Fourth National:  1x per show  (competes with Widget co, shouldn't play same 
break)

To achieve this result, I have set up a cart rotation for each show.  In that 
cart rotation I setup cuts to play in a specific order 
reflecting the above.  I then setup an event for each cart and created clock 
hours so that the cart would run through once per show.

This seems to work but is quite cumbersome.  The same sponsor, say Widget Co, 
might sponsor 10 shows during a week, so I need to 
import the same ad 3x per cart, resulting in a lot of wasted space.  Then if 
Widget Co changes the content of their spot it will need 
to be reimported - or if they pay late we need to stop their ads for a week, 
etc.

What are other ways to achieve this result that I'm missing?

Steve
