Re: [RDD] Dayparting Question

My simple solution is that on cuts that are day and time specific, we dont' use day parting, we set a cut start and cut end date and time. (ex Monday October 17 0600 to Tuesday October 18 1800) If it's a cut that isn't day specfic but time specific like the sponsored intro for a weather forecast,

Well, I am definitely not a code expert, but I could see a danger if you crossed midnight and wanted it to play Monday night 11:00pm to Tuesday morning at 5:00am and checked Monday and Tuesday. It might allow Monday morning instead of only Tuesday morning and/or Tuesday night instead of only Mon

I don't think it's adviable to define a daypart that crosses midnight, precisely because of the potential confusion it might cause to users with regard to the date. I recently had a client specify that a program was to air "10 PM - 3AM Sunday through Thursday", which is ambiguous, since 3 AM

For me the big question with having the over-12am daypart to work without creating 2 cuts is the question of what happens if you are dayparting a cut to specific days of the week, and how that would change the current operation of the software. Let's say that I have Cut A, and I want it to only be

Further clarification on this. After additional experimenting, the dayparting dialog will successfully accept 00:00:00 (Midnight) as the start time, but will not accept that as the end time. So to get a cart to play in the non-safe-harbor hours, requires 2 cuts, one dayparted from 22:00:00 unti

We have not used dayparting, but want to start, so we can air some comedy tracks that would not stand the test of safe-harbor hours. However, when I enable dayparting and enter a start time of 22:00 and end of 06:00, those tracks will not play between 22:00 and midnight, nor after midnight. Rive
