If you don't schedule a clock for a specific hour, PlayIt Live automatically uses your Playout Pattern to fill that time. The playout pattern is a repeating sequence of track groups that serves as your fallback content when no specific clock is scheduled.

For example, if your playout pattern contains "Songs, Jingles, Promos", PlayIt Live will continuously cycle through these track groups to fill the unscheduled hour. It will play a track from Songs, then from Jingles, then from Promos, and repeat this pattern throughout the hour.

You can view and modify your playout pattern by going to Manage > Playout Pattern. This allows you to control what content plays during unscheduled hours. The pattern ensures your station never goes silent, even if you haven't created specific clocks for every hour of the day.

However, for professional radio operation, it's recommended to schedule specific clocks for most hours as they provide much better control over timing, content flow, and station format. Clocks allow you to include fixed time markers, voice track placeholders, specific tracks, and other content types that create a more structured and professional broadcast compared to the basic automation provided by the playout pattern.
