You have a choice. If you tend to air the same programs every week with little changes, you can
use a day of the week format with 00 being Sunday and Saturday being day 06. Otherwise, put in
the actual day the program airs minus your GMT offset. EXAMPLE: 9:00 PM. Eastern Daylight
Time in Florida is actually 01:00 UTC the next day.
Airtime: PSIP is set on a UTC standard. (Coordinated Universal Time, Greenwich Mean Time or
Zulu Time). Therefore, you must add that to the program times of the stations time zone. If the
station is currently on Eastern Daylight Time, the UTC offset is + 4, Eastern Standard time is +5.
Duration: The length of the program in Hours and minutes.
Event ID. Start your first program of the day with this and repeat it daily.
