- Focus on joy-full programming, avoid the depressing stuff!
- Insert live feeds and interactive elements!
How it Works

1. See a Title Screen
A message displays 1 minute before scheduled content 
|
2. Watch a Video Playlist
A series of videos plays within a 30-60 minute time block. 
|
3. See a Video "Gap Filler"
Afterwards, a "filler video" plays until next time block.
