The scheduler first chooses a category by its weight, then chooses a slot inside that category using the slot's existing weight. Slots without a category use the Uncategorized bucket with weight 1 unless you define an uncategorized category below.
This channel keeps its own programming brief, operating mode, cooldown policy, and semantic preferences. The global master switch must also be enabled before scheduler ordering can apply.
Saved brief: The Banter Box is a comedy-driven network focused on delivering consistent, laugh-out-loud entertainment throughout its dayparts from morning through late night. The core identity revolves around ensemble sitcoms and workplace comedies that balance sharp humor with relatable character dynamics.
The target audience enjoys modern, witty sketch and narrative comedy, favoring shows with strong comedic pacing and established character chemistry. Tone should be consistently lighthearted, smart, and highly engaging to maintain viewer attention across the entire broadcast day. Pacing must remain brisk; while some shows allow for natural pauses, the overall feel should never drag.
This executive's mode is independent of every other channel. Advisory mode never changes scheduler ordering.
Only this channel can bypass slot item/time cooldowns and the cooldown-derived immediate same-show guard. All other scheduler safeguards remain enforced.
Scheduler rule bypasses (active modes only)
Ignore slot max_picks_per_20_items and max_picks_per_playlist limits.
Ignore day-of-week and daypart-gated slot eligibility checks.
Ignore time-of-day blocking and date blackout rules.
Optional behavior controls
Higher values allow transition preferences to reorder more of the normal shuffle ranking.
