The rundown is the list of what is going out, in order. Every line shows its calculated start and end time, so you can see at a glance when anything will air.
What is on air
At the top of the channel panel is what is playing now: the name, the countdown on it, and what comes next. Beside it, how long until the next commercial break.
Colours
Each line takes the colour of its category: advertising in green, bumpers in brown, programmes by type. You can read the shape of the day without reading a single title.
Badges
On the right, in the MARKS column, each line can carry up to three badges, each in a fixed slot:
- SB — this clip will go out subtitled. Solid means the subtitle is ready; hollow means it is planned but the file is still being generated.
- M — it will air with the channel bug.
- TP, +7, +12, +16, +18 — age rating.
Warnings on the line itself
- ◇ MISSING in red: the file is not where it should be. The engine will skip it.
- 🔒 with a time: that item has a fixed time and will not move.
- ⚠ WILL NOT MAKE IT: with what is ahead of it, there is not enough time to play it in full before its fixed time.
- RESERVED: a hole automation has left for a programme that is not there yet.
Ad breaks
Spots in the same break are grouped under a header saying how many there are and how long they run in total. That is the quick way to check a break has not come out short.
