Scheduled Live Programs
In the ContentDepot, every station will subscribe to the programs it needs. For live programs, the subscription process includes assigning the specific decoder port to which the audio will be routed. Once a subscription is established, the station will receive every episode of a live program as it is transmitted.
A station may assign the same feed to a second port on a different decoder (maximum of two ports) for backup purposes or to service additional network feeds.
While we previously advised against trying to assign adjacent programs to the same decoder and port, our testing has demonstrated that adjacent programs can be assigned to the same decoder port back-to-back. The major producing networks such as American Public Media, PRI, and NPR have been reviewing their programs to include a five-second silence at the end of a program to accommodate program switching. However, we do NOT recommend that you try to "hot switch" back and forth between a program and insertions on the same decoder and port (e.g., from a program to a newscast or from Morning Edition to Marketplace).
