Introduction

The Show Management feature in Myriad Playout allows you to add key information for shows in on your radio station. Clocks can be linked to shows to allow you to build an electronic program guide (EPG) that can be used to power show information on your website, web player and mobile apps.

Show Management is closely related to Presenter Management which allows you to add details about the personalities on your radio station.
