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 Briefing Room is a premium, drama-focused channel targeting an engaged audience interested in high-stakes narrative storytelling and political intrigue. The tone should be sophisticated, dramatic, and consistently high-quality, mirroring the prestige of its featured content. Pacing must remain brisk, driven by character conflict and plot advancement across all scheduled blocks.
Content priorities heavily favor serialized, critically acclaimed drama. The core viewing experience revolves around major ensemble pieces. These shows should anchor the prime time slots due to their high scheduling weights. Secondary dramatic content can fill supporting roles within these blocks.
Guardrails require strict adherence to ordered shuffling for all primary series, ensuring narrative continuity is maintained across scheduled airings. The inclusion of movies should be treated as supplemental filler, placed strategically without disrupting the flow established by the major scripted dramas.
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.
