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: Pandemonium is a high-energy, genre-bending destination for animation enthusiasts who appreciate dark humor, surrealism, and mature themes. The tone should be consistently irreverent, edgy, and visually spectacular, leaning into over-the-top action and character absurdity.
The core audience enjoys boundary-pushing storytelling across various animated styles. Content priorities must revolve around maximizing the impact of our diverse slate of shows, ensuring a constant stream of high-concept animation throughout all dayparts.
Pacing should be relentless; there is no room for downtime. The scheduling approach must utilize weighted slots to ensure variety while maximizing exposure to our key titles across the Early Evening, Evening to Late Night, and Late Night to Early Morning blocks. Guardrails are minimal, allowing maximum creative freedom within the established weightings of the available content.
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.
