The automation system is not a human; it cannot "search" your computer. It only looks in one specific window. If a file is not in that window, the station goes dark.

The Dashboard is the "Remote Control" for the station. You can access it from any computer on the station's network.

TV stations use "Buffers." We use a 14-second buffer to ensure the station looks branded and legal.

As a community station, we have a responsibility to share urgent info. This lesson covers how to "Take Over" the screen for a message.

Even the best systems need a "reset" sometimes. You need to know how to spot an error before the viewers do.

Being a volunteer programmer for PJTV23 comes with a "Public Trust." Because we are a community-facing station, what you do on the dashboard affects the organization's reputation.
