Subchannels

The Subchannels are used to split one channel into different subdivisions for different purposes in terms of type of content and user permissions. The most typical situation is to have 2 subchannels , as divisions of a Channel. Where one could be the main subchannel with the entire scheduling, and the other could be a secondary subchannel just to manage the advertisements by the Commercial Department. Both schedulings will be merged together to the main subchannel when constructing the final playlists.

To create a Subchannel, you need to have one Channel. For more information, go to Channels
