SCHEDULING PART OF AN HOUR AS SATELLITE (SATELLITE MODE)
You want to play audio from the computer during the first half of the hour (which makes it an Automation hour in the Air Schedule), and then play satellite the second half of the hour. In this case, you will:
1) Setup the Air Schedule so that it is an Automation hour.
2) You will then schedule the Satellite mode at the second half of the hour in the clock
select the Satellite event

Satellite mode is different than a Source Switcher event in that it is able to accept and utilize closures for things like commercial breaks, station ID's, & Liners.
