Overview


Myriad 6 Schedule is a powerful yet simple music, advert and link (jingle) scheduling system built directly into Myriad 6 Playout.


Drawing on more than 25 years experience developing professional radio scheduling systems, we have designed Myriad 6 Schedule to be accessible enough for first time users to be able to schedule their station in minutes, yet offer the tools and flexibility needed for radio stations to sculpt their schedule to sound exactly how they want.

Not Just Integrated, Built In

Unlike other 3rd party schedulers, Myriad Schedule is built directly into Myriad Playout meaning that for the first time both playout and scheduling are working from a single, unified database of content. When you add or edit Media Items on the Media Wall, you are also adding them or editing them in Myriad Schedule. No more replicating data or importing content - just add a Song or Link and it is ready to be scheduled!


When it comes to accessing the Myriad Schedule tools, you have several options to suit how you want to work including:


  • Myriad Playout - Perfect for making quick changes when in the studio.
  • Dedicated Myriad Schedule Application - Ideal for your program controllers office.
  • Myriad Anywhere Schedule (Add-On) - Perfect for managing your schedule on the move.

Songs, Links and Adverts are managed using the MediaWall with the ability to assign your own categories, attributes and tags.


You define the Categories, Tags and additional Attributes you want to use to classify content on your station so you can tailor the system to schedule exactly the way you want it to!

 

And because Myriad Schedule works with Media Items it means that all the powerful management, reporting and mass changing tools within Myriad 6 Playout are now available for Myriad Schedule as well.


Key Features

Here are just a few of the key features built into Myriad Schedule

Goal Driven Scheduling


Every Clock in Myriad Schedule has a set of Song and Link Category Goals which define the ideal mix of Song and Links whenever the Clock is used.


When adding Song positions to your Clock, you can choose manually set the Category or 'Use Category Goals' to determine which Category the item should be.


By combining Category Goals and manual Categories in your Clock, you can achieve variance across several Hours using the same Clock whilst guaranteeing that Songs or Links from specific Categories are scheduled for key times in your Hour.

Simple & Advanced Clocks


If you just want Myriad Schedule to fill an hour of content based on the Category Goals you have set then a Simple Clock is the ideal tool. Set the mix of music you want, tell it how many jingles to play and assign it to the hours you want to fill!


If you need to include more complex sequences in your schedule or control the specific structure of your shows then Advanced Clocks are what you need. The Advanced Clock allows you to build the exact structure of your show along with what Categories and Attributes to use in each position in the Clock. Of course, you can combine this with Category Goals to create dynamic Clocks that can be repeated throughout your schedule with the correct structure and balance of content, but with enough variation to keep it sounding fresh.

Powerful & Flexible Rules


Myriad Schedule includes powerful Station Rules to allow you to define just how your station should sound, including:

  • Song & Link Category Goals
  • Song / Link Max/Min In Row
  • Song / Link Minimum Separation (Schedule Plus only)
  • Specific Schedule Rules Per Category (Title / Artis Separation, Yesterday / Tomorrow Separation etc)
  • Category Follow Rules & Maximum Tag In Row
  • Type, Gender & Era Max/Min Row & Min Separation (Schedule Plus Only)
  • Plus, many more....


Most Rules can be set to 'breakable' so you can set your target level Rules but have let the system break a few if it has to. Rules can be applied per Category in a Rules Set, individually in a Clock or apply to a specific Category in a Clock.

Deck Rotation Scheduling


Myriad Schedule is built around the concept of 'Deck Rotation' to ensure that you have complete control over the sound of your station and all your content is being used.


Each Song or Link Category can be considered like a deck of cards with the top Song / Link in the deck being then next to be scheduled in the Log assuming doing so will not break any of the Rules you have set. Things get complex fast when you consider Categories in use, different deck sizes and thew hundreds of Rules that mat apply to every item considered for scheduling in the Log.


But luckily, you don't need to worry about any of that because Myriad Schedule has you covered!

Flexible Advert Scheduling


Advert Scheduling is built right into Myriad Schedule. Define customers and assign adverts to the customers. Set the 'requested plays' and the campaign dates and Myriad Schedule will do the rest!

  • Add multiple customers and multiple adverts per customer
  • Define Advert Categories to place adverts in certain breaks
  • Create 'Collisions Tags' to prevent similar adverts scheduling together
  • Set adverts to play X times per hour or X times within a hour range
  • Add 'Top & Tail' adverts for greater impact
  • Set campaign dates to automatically remove adverts from rotation
  • Automatically schedule adverts along with Songs and Links
  • Generate 'advert play reports' to send to your advertisers


If you would prefer to use a 3rd party advert scheduler then you can setup Myriad Schedule to read the advert breaks from a compatible advert log file.

Song Category Goals - Get the sound you want without all the math!

Set Category Goals for Clocks or Rule Sets to easily control the mix of music on your station.
