Can I set up dayparting so different music plays during breakfast, daytime, and evening shows?

Yes, PlayIt Live supports dayparting through several complementary features. You can create different Clocks for each show period (breakfast, daytime, evening) with different track groups and content, then schedule these clocks for specific hours using Manage > Clock Schedule. Each clock can contain different track groups - for example, your breakfast clock might include energetic music and breakfast-specific jingles, whilst your evening clock could feature more relaxed content.

Additionally, PlayIt Live includes Daypart Separation Playout Policies (requires Advanced Scheduling module) which prevent the same track from repeating within specific dayparts like "Breakfast" or "Drive" for a set number of days. This ensures regular listeners don't hear the same songs during their usual listening times. You can also use track-level Dayparting settings to restrict when specific tracks can play - for example, preventing certain songs from playing at weekends or during specific time periods.
