Create a new schedule

Put together a list of radio dayparts or non-traditional revenue ad types that's appropriate for targeting your audience. You can create both a radio and an NTR (non-traditional revenue) schedule under one name and within the same flight dates. Each schedule appears on it's own tab.

Tapscan automatically combines rows from your radio and NTR schedules to create the All Media schedule view. Check Related topics... below for more information.

tipTapscan assumes you are adding an NTR schedule to an existing radio schedule. To create only an NTR schedule, you must close the empty radio schedule and then open the NTR tab. Use a non-traditional revenue (NTR) schedule for vendors not associated with a radio data subscription.
