It’s official: the 2026 Broadcast Calendar is now available for download. Built for media planning and media buying linear TV and radio advertising schedules, this tool helps you map out the upcoming year.
What is a Broadcast Calendar, Anyway?
If you’ve ever wrestled with standard calendars (technically, Gregorian calendars) and their misaligned weeks and months, you know the struggle. Here’s how a Broadcast Calendar fixes that:
- Weeks always run Monday through Sunday.
- Every broadcast month starts on Monday and ends on Sunday.
- It smooths out alignment issues between programming, billing cycles, ratings, and client reporting.

How to Use It

Why It Matters
Using a broadcast calendar isn’t just about looking neat. It saves time, avoids confusion, and ensures everyone from agency to client is speaking the same calendar language.
When budgeting, scheduling, or reporting, misaligned weeks/months can lead to mistakes or extra work. The 2026 calendar removes that friction.
