What programs should I create?
• Any programs that you currently air should be created
in Core Publisher
• You can see a list of your programs on your Program
Guide at /schedule
Do I have to do anything to my Composer site to create
programs in Core Publisher?
• We suggest cleaning up any conflicts with your
Composer program guide before creating programs in
Core Publisher because program information is pulled
from Composer.

Resolving Conflicts in Composer
What is a conflict?
A conflict lets you know that 2+ programs
are overlapping or were scheduled for the
same time.
How do I resolve a conflict?
 To resolve a conflict, you can do one of two things:
• Edit icon and change the program’s end date to a
date in the past.
• Ignore it if it’s a Temporary Edit (if it’s only for one day
or time period)
