Categories

Categories are “rotation groups”. Some categories may have just a few songs, others may have hundreds or even thousands. Each and every song in a category will get the same number of plays. The number of times a song gets scheduled is determined by 1) how many songs are in the category, and 2) how many times that category is used in your formatting clocks. See the videos about Rotation Prediction and the Average Turnover screen.

There are two basic types of categories:  Music and Non-music.  Non-music is used for everything that isn’t music: Jingles, Station IDs, Promos, Voice Tracks, Long form programs, etc. Those who use TrafficONE see a third type: Spots (commercials).
