      • RODP spots are scheduled to be distributed evenly across the break available in the range of the RODP time band
      • Preference is given to breaks where the same commercial, same client and same product category are not present in that sequence
      • Programme based spots get preference over RODP spots. If a programme break is full of spots and a programme based spot is to be scheduled, the auto scheduler attempts to unscheduled any RODP spots in the programme and replace it with the new programme based spot. The RODP spot is then rescheduled in other available breaks
