OBIT Mode
Hi,
After the events of last month with a death of a member of the royal family, I had an idea that it might be good to add an OBIT (obituary) mode to PlayIt Live.
UK radio stations are required to enter OBIT mode after such an event, playing slow music or similar for a set period of time. We already had this music playlist set up, but I had to go into our clock editor and change every day hour-by-hour, which took a long time.
It might be cool to have a daily or weekly 'OBIT Mode Clock Schedule' that can be set up in advance for such an event. Then, when it's needed, a button could be clicked for PlayIt Live to start using that mode for as long as is needed. A lot of stations also have a requirement that (at least) two senior members authorise the switch to OBIT mode, though I'm not sure how that could be implemented here.
I know it's something that (hopefully) wouldn't be needed too often, but it'd make life a lot easier for those in charge of setting it up!
