Station Market Assignment

Use this option to assign stations to home markets. A station can only be assigned to one standard agency home market, but you may assign it to a different market for a specific client's reports. (See Step 6 below). If you need to change the market assignment after activity has been entered in Broadcast for the station, use Station Profile Definition.

Note: Before you begin assigning stations to markets, stations must be defined in Station Definition, and markets must be defined in Market Definition.

2. Key the Market and Media to which you are assigning stations.

3. Click the Next icon to display the Station Market Assignment detail page.

4. Use the Add icon to add blank rows at the bottom of the page.

5. For each station being assigned to this market, key the Station and the Band Code.

6. If you are making this the station's home market, skip this step. If you overriding the market assignment for a specific client's reports, key that Client code.

7. Click the Save icon to save the definition. If the station is not assigned to this market by the rating service, a warning displays and you must click the Save icon again if you want to save the assignment anyway.
