Secondary Events

Secondary Events are events that serve to design the channel additionally during the running program. They are broadcast in form of crawls, inserts or else and give information on the current or subsequent program. Secondary events represent an own hierarchy level; they can be directly subordinate to the plan or to the respective events. Currently the Planner gives the option to schedule the following secondary events to respective main events:

• Back-again: Here the title (including further titles or texts) is blended into the current program after a commercial break. 
• Squeeze-back: At a certain time as for example at the end credits of an event graphical elements are blended in while minimizing the picture to show a trailer or other element. 
• Upper-third-next: Here the title of the subsequent program is blended in, mostly in the last third of the current program. 
• News ticker: A news ticker is a layout that blends in the current news as a running text at the bottom of the program.
• Secondary ad break: This is a ad break type, which is commercial quota relevant and can be scheduled in the Programmer, Scheme and Planner. This ad break does not need additional broadcasting time and does not interrupt the program. It belongs - like all secondary event - to a main event.
