regarding the scheduling question: I load sequential programs as individual cuts within one cart, then select the date(s) and day(s) manually for each cut. The program is scheduled in a given hour at the event level.
We have a PROGRAM group, for example, though the same strategy can be used no matter which group you have the programs in. I also have some Mon-Fri teaching series air 'randomly' on weekends so a given cut may be eligible Mon, Sat, Sun with the appropriate date range.
