Operating hours

When disabled, this channel behaves exactly as before: schedules and the configured off-air fallback can run 24/7.

WEEKLY HOURS

When the channel is on air

A closing time earlier than the opening time crosses midnight. For example, 18:00 → 02:00 closes at 2am the following morning.

CONTINUITY

Open & close the station

Optional. The opening ident finishes exactly at opening time. The closing clip begins exactly at closing time, then the channel returns to its configured off-air fallback.
