Daily radio channel programme line-up

1. Scope and Applicability

Applies to a station's complete daily assembly of programmes, live broadcasts and continuity content handed to another distributor. Covers recorded, live and mixed line-ups; one short episode cannot substitute for the daily assembly. Official classification distinguishes this object from original broadcast assets and broadcasting services (unsd-cpc3-2025, p.444). Delivery comprises actual audio or mutually accepted programme references and live handoff interfaces, schedule and technical metadata; abstract scheduling consultancy alone is outside scope.

Count one complete daily delivery, not mass, revenue, licence price or audience. Stratify language, advertising variants, genres, airtime, repeat-content share and handoff specification; technical differences do not automatically establish environmental superiority.

How long or cycle	One station broadcast day with declared timestamps and time zone; record actual airtime without assuming 24 hours; disclose repeats and retention separately
reference_flow_link	reference_product_daily_lineup

Field	Value
Reference amount	1
Reference product flow	Accepted daily radio channel programme line-up
Reference flow property	Number of items 01846770-4cfe-4a25-8ad9-919d8d378345
Reference unit group	Units of items 5beb6eed-33a9-47b8-9ede-1dfe8f679159
Reference unit	item
Required qualifiers	station and editorial service; date, time zone, timestamps and actual airtime; language; line-up version and asset list; recorded/live share; advertising variant; format, sample rate, channels and loudness policy; rights and reuse scope; handoff point and recipient acceptance; production/distribution separation; geography and voltage; retention and shared allocation; equipment and original-asset boundary

item denotes the same single-count unit as public Item(s). Only a complete accepted daily line-up is one item; retransmitting the same version does not add another line-up. Required qualifiers belong in the data package; rights define permissible delivery and are not physical quality or mass.

4. Measurement and Unit Rules

rule_id	Applies to	Required property	Required unit	Rule
reference_count	reference product	Number of items 01846770-4cfe-4a25-8ad9-919d8d378345	item	Use cp_delivery to collect identity and timing of one complete accepted daily line-up; every inventory row is per declared reference flow. Actual duration qualifies delivery and is not converted to mass.
electricity_unit	ingest_electricity, schedule_electricity, live_electricity, handoff_electricity	Net calorific value 93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200c9a66	MJ	Preserve the public primary property and energy unit group 93a60a57-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200c9a66; multiply measured meter kWh by 3.6 to obtain MJ. GB, CPU-hours and audio seconds are not energy.
service_count	source_programme_master, hosted_playout_day, contribution_link_day	Number of items 01846770-4cfe-4a25-8ad9-919d8d378345	item	Separately define one approved audio programme master, one specified daily hosted playout package and one daily contribution-link delivery package. Verify against contracts and activity records; price and data traffic alone cannot establish the amount.

5. System Boundary

Boundary Abstraction

Field	Value
declared_starting_condition	Identified programme masters with usage rights or actual live contributions available at the compiler’s receiving interface
starting_condition_role	Foreground production input; new original creation is a separate upstream module even when supplied internally
product_classification_scope	Complete daily radio channel programme assemblies for distribution by others
recursive_input_rule	For re-editing an existing line-up, count its actual input and incremental assembly once without recursively rebuilding the original day
upstream_dataset_requirement	Representative datasets for source content, purchased electricity, outsourced hosting and contribution links; declare whether equipment and facility manufacture is included
disclosure	Foreground receipt/checking through complete daily handoff; missing upstream and capital equipment prevents a complete cradle-to-gate claim; disclose measured energy, source-asset boundaries, allocation, storage, unmeasured activities and exclusions

rule_id	applies_to	rule	source_ids
sb_delivery	daily assembly	Include receipt, asset checking, scheduling, continuity, required storage, actual live mixing, acceptance and handoff to the distributor, including failed handoff retries and actual rework energy.	unsd-cpc3-2025; ebu-radio-workflow-2023
sb_separate_distribution	downstream	Model FM/DAB transmission, listener-network distribution, playback and terminal manufacture beyond the handoff separately; split combined operations using recorded interfaces.	unsd-cpc3-2025; ebu-radio-workflow-2023
sb_actual_resources	facilities and supporting activities	Include measured or explainably attributable workstation, server, playout, storage and cooling electricity and production-support lighting. Equipment/facility manufacture, commuting and long-term archives are excluded by default and disclosed. Actual attributable on-site combustion, refrigerant leakage, consumables or equipment replacement require separately collected atomic extensions; no emissions are presumed without evidence.	ebu-radio-workflow-2023

Outputs

Product flows

Accepted daily radio channel programme line-up (reference_product_daily_lineup)

Unique output of the complete accepted daily line-up. Retain the schedule, asset references, live interfaces and acceptance record; delivery retries do not add output.

• Selected flow: Accepted daily radio channel programme line-up
• Flow property / unit: Number of items / item
• Amount rule: 1 item
• Value mode: Fixed value (fixed_value)
• Specificity: Site-specific (site_specific)
• Normalization basis: per declared reference flow
• Basis kind: Reference flow (reference_flow)
• Evidence kind: Collected record (collected_record)
• Collection protocol: cp_delivery
• Sources: ebu-radio-workflow-2023; unsd-cpc3-2025

No direct elementary emission or physical waste is presumed in this inventory: deleting an audio file is not a material waste flow, and power-station emissions belong upstream of purchased electricity. Actual on-site combustion, refrigerant losses or discarded consumables must be separately added and verified under sb_actual_resources when constructing a concrete data package; a manufacturing emission inventory is not imposed without evidence.

7. Allocation and Co-product Handling

rule_id	applies_to	rule	source_ids
alloc_metering	shared equipment	Prefer separate meters and tasks; attribute shared-meter energy using measured task power and run time, not sale price or audience. cp_energy records active, idle, retained storage, cooling and other users; allocation must reconcile the measured total. Allocate idle energy using recorded reserved-use time and report sensitivity.
alloc_original_reuse	source_programme_master	Keep original-creation inventory separately. cp_assets defines the evidenced, non-overlapping reuse set and daily attribution weights summing to one; equivalent complete uses may share equally across evidenced uses without assumed count or lifetime. Excerpt attribution requires evidence connecting duration to creation effort; unproven attribution remains review. Rights transactions do not eliminate content burdens, nor justify adding full creation cost on every play.
alloc_variants	line-up variants and retries	Separate incremental tasks for language, advertising and regional variants with independently delivered outputs. Allocate shared assembly by documented actual task relationships; master, schedule and acceptance receipt are not three co-products. Attribute failed retries to the delivered line-up.

8. Foreground Data Collection, Calculation, and Quality Rules

cp_delivery	delivery_handoff	reference product	acceptance record	station; schedule version; date; time zone; start/end; actual airtime; asset completeness; recipient; acceptance	Reconcile each daily schedule with asset list, checksums and handoff logs; count only complete accepted versions	item	each complete handoff	complete assembly and handoff period	compiler and handoff interface	per declared reference flow	recipient acceptance and completeness records
cp_energy	programme_ingest; lineup_assembly; live_contribution; delivery_handoff	electricity	meter and job record	meter start/end kWh; equipment; task; active/idle time; geography; voltage; cooling; retention; shared weights	Use verified meters and measured equipment power with task logs; remove overlaps and include rework and attributable supporting energy	kWh	each operation or time interval	assembly preparation, handoff and required retention period	declared sites and internally operated equipment	per declared reference flow	calibration, complete meter balance and shared-task ledger

cp_services	delivery_handoff	external service	contract delivery and supplier primary data	specific package ID; service type; schedule; duration; capacity; traffic; supplier energy; hardware boundary; shared attribution; receipt	Separately verify actual hosting and link packages against receipts and supplier inventories; traffic checks capacity without default energy conversion	item	each contractual package	complete contracted service period	declared actual suppliers	per declared reference flow	service boundary, supplier primary records and non-duplicate electricity ledger

Calculation Rules

rule_id	Applies to	Formula or rule	Inputs	Output	source_ids
energy_conversion	ingest_electricity, schedule_electricity, live_electricity, handoff_electricity	Per declared reference flow, multiply measured attributable kWh by 3.6 to obtain MJ; four operation amounts must not overlap and their sum reconciles attributable meter totals.	cp_energy	MJ per declared reference flow
asset_attribution	source_programme_master	Per declared reference flow, record each concrete master’s evidenced attribution share and link its separate creation inventory; weights over the complete reuse set must sum to one, retaining excerpt-relationship evidence.	cp_assets	master shares per declared reference flow
service_attribution	hosted_playout_day, contribution_link_day	Per declared reference flow, use actual package counts and evidenced shared fractions; link matching supplier inventories without a default GB-to-energy factor.	cp_services	contract package shares per declared reference flow

Data Quality Requirements

requirement_id	Applies to	Requirement	Evidence
dq_identity	reference_product_daily_lineup	Complete identifiable daily delivery with actual duration, recorded/live mix, version and reuse rights; an episode cannot stand for the day.	cp_delivery; unsd-cpc3-2025
dq_technical	audio and handoff	Record recipient acceptance of format, integrity and loudness policy. Verify declared EBU strategy against its declared edition only when adopted, not as a universal mandate.	cp_delivery; ebu-radio-workflow-2023
dq_representative	all inventory rows	One day represents that case; a channel-representative value requires declared-period coverage of weekdays, weekends, repeats and live differences with daily distributions. No default energy is supplied.	cp_delivery; cp_energy
dq_missing	all inventory rows	Missing meters, absent supplier inventories, unproven reuse shares and unresolved identities remain explicit gaps, not zero.	cp_assets; cp_services; cp_energy

9. Validation Rules

rule_id	applies_to	rule	source_ids
vr_reference	reference product	Confirm one complete daily output, count unit, actual times, acceptance and every qualifier; other delivery objects are inapplicable.	unsd-cpc3-2025
vr_energy	electricity rows	Check meter totals and attribution, 3.6 conversion, voltage and geography; do not recount electricity already included in supplier services.
vr_originals	source assets and services	Check original inventories and reuse weights, interface boundaries, actual contract-package units and primary activity records; counting cannot replace supplier physical inventory. Unproven shares require review.
vr_completeness	whole dataset	Check every required and actual conditional activity. Expose gaps and default exclusions; absent upstream or equipment manufacture prevents a complete lifecycle claim. Add elementary flows only for evidenced direct occurrences with verified identity and compartment, not inferred site emissions from grid generation.	ebu-radio-workflow-2023

10. Published Dataset Profile

Field	Value
dataset_role	foreground production dataset for a complete daily channel line-up
downstream_use	secondary_dataset; background_dataset
allowed_use	channel-delivery modelling with matching boundary and technical configuration; linking to separate distribution/playback modules
excluded_use	proxy for one original work, download, listener-hour, transmission coverage, software or hardware manufacture; complete lifecycle claims without linked evidence
required_metadata	all reference qualifiers, process coverage, geography, voltage, measured supply, source and service datasets, reuse sets, attribution methods, conditional activities and handoff acceptance
required_quality_disclosure	meter uncertainty, sampling representativeness, missing supplier evidence, unresolved identities, equipment boundary, original-reuse and idle-allocation sensitivity
update_trigger	changes in schedule/version, recorded/live mix, supplier, system/electricity conditions, retention, original reuse set or handoff specification
