Multi-Platform Event Planner

Make destination cutoffs, extension instructions and decision owners visible before a live event.

All dates and times are UTC. Enter full dates so midnight crossings are explicit.

How to use this tool
  1. Enter the event schedule in UTC and an overrun scenario.
  2. Add each television, streaming or other destination. Record its cutoff, overrun policy, owner, escalation contact, rights confirmation and fallback instruction.
  3. Review the plan to see where the scenario exceeds a cutoff or ownership and confirmation are missing.
  4. Export the destination instructions and review flags as Excel or CSV for your production meeting. Review again after changing any input.

“Follow event” records an instruction; it does not override a destination cutoff or grant rights. Confirm extensions with the destination owner. This planning worksheet does not send instructions or update playout systems.
