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: Imagination Station is a dedicated cartoon channel targeting families and children, with content designed for broad appeal across various age groups through its diverse library of animated features and series. The tone should be consistently imaginative, playful, and engaging, reflecting the nature of animation itself.
The pacing must remain brisk to maintain viewer attention throughout the dayparts. Movie placements should be strategic to anchor key time slots.
Guardrails dictate that scheduling must respect the established daypart weights, ensuring a natural flow of content across Early Morning through Mid-Evening. While all listed shows are available for shuffling within their designated blocks, the high weight assigned to specific series suggests they should be given preferential placement in core viewing hours (06:30-20:00). Movie placements should complement the energy level dictated by the time of daypart.
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.
