Channel advert rates UI
AdKontrol keeps advertising rates for all channels in its internal database structures. Prices are defined as per second amounts with values calculated as ad duration x the station's per-second cost of an ad.
Prices are entered in one hour slots for every day of the week. Multiple products can be defined for another layer of price control, for example:
- spots
- stations promotions
- stingers
- public announcements
- etc.
Alternatively, fixed price could be assigned to specific time slots and durations of the advertisements, in which case each advertisement having specific duration range has same calculated airing cost.
Both rate-calculation methods can co-exist in the same system at the same time, and can be used even on the same channel, depending on the needs.
