Build the programme guide

The programme guide is your site’s week-at-a-glance schedule, the page viewers check to see what’s on tonight. Producers and schedulers manage it in Studio → Content → Schedule. The screen needs the Schedule / TV guide permission, and it disappears when the Schedule / Guide switch is off in Studio → System → Settings → Content → Features.

What viewers see

• One week at a time, with Previous week, Next week and Today buttons, and today highlighted.
• Each day split into 4 parts — Morning, Afternoon, Evening and Late Night — by each programme’s start time as it was entered.
• A Live right now banner with a Watch button for anything airing.
• Matchups shown as full cards with crests, colours and the live score.
• A category filter and a search box.

Events add themselves

Every active event gets a guide entry automatically and stays in sync with it, so the guide never disagrees with your events list. In Content → Schedule these entries show a lock and the source From event, and they have no delete button.
