About saving details...
Tapscan saves your detail selections as defaults for future sessions. When the value for a detail item is not available, Unknown and the column name (i.e., Unknown Owner) will display in the Select Stations dialog and in the schedule. If call letters or other details change, Tapscan will update the details in the schedule.

Station favorite names are shared across markets and schedules and must be unique. You can use letters, numbers or special characters from the keyboard in the name.
