How does this channel program?
Identity
Each one you tick pre-flights this channel's scheduled titles against that distributor's requirements. The EPG (XMLTV) and schedule JSON feeds are always served — they aren't a choice.
Channel DNA, scheduling guidance, dayparts, rotation tiers, library scope, watershed & territory are all set on the channel's own page — one place, no duplication. We seed sensible Movie defaults now so the first schedule is ready the moment you create it; open the channel to tune them.
