OM Timeslot Scheduler

We started locking CCK fields that are referenced by TVframe so that stations could tell the difference between fields they've added and could edit and fields that would likely cause a problem if modified. Yesterday we had an issue where PCM needed to alter a setting in a locked filed, so I thought I'd post the instructions for unlocking fields for everyone. There might be other ways to do this, but I use phpmyadmin to access the locked column in the content_node_field table.

Portland Community Media, in partnership with Denver Open Media, has created documents explaining the rules of scheduling Producer> Project> Programs. The document includes rules for series programs, scheduled on a quarterly basis, as well as individual programs that get scheduled on a first come, first served basis.

I have also included rules on how PCM schedules filler programs.

The focus of this discussion is:
- to communicate current scheduling rules and guidelines
- to discuss other methods of annual, quarterly or daily scheduling rules used by other media centers
