Spots  / Local News

To set up a spot proceed as follows:

Button New - Starting hour - Ending Hour (for the day) - then you should define the Hour division (8 or less) - tell the software the advertiser name - choose the campaign starting and ending dates. The grid is automatically initialized. Try not to set up very long campaigns as this turns the day grid creation longer. Select an audio file for this campaign with the file button. Then fill in the grid to tell Gate Radio the days and the hours you wish this spot to be broadcasted. To fill in the grid quicker you fill in a complete line: Press the Ctrl key + mouse left button ( right to delete) to fill in a Vertical line, Shift + mouse left click (right to delete) for a horizontal line.

You should also define the spot priority, this defines the order in which the spots will be broadcasted. The first Spot to be broadcasted will have priority 10, the second 20, the third 30 and so on... you probably noticed that the priority is defined ten by ten in order to allow you to insert new spots between older ones, as an example 15 between 10 and 20. It's now time to save your work  with the Add button. Further changes are saved with the Replace button.

If you want to change the campaign length  the grid will be initialized a new time, which means you'll have to fill it in another time.
