Avail Interstitial Manager

In early 2017, the PBS 24/7 KIDS channel was made available to stations via satellite for rebroadcast and multiple system operator (MSO) retransmission in their local designated market area (DMA). As part of the rebroadcast, stations can program sponsorship and interstitial content into 65-second breaks at the end of each scheduled program. These 65-second breaks in the linear stream when stations can insert an interstitial are referred to as avails (short for availability). The Avail Manager distinguishes station-specific streams instead of user-specific streams, which means all users localized to your station will see interstitial content from your station alone.
