What is a Broadcast Calendar?
In the realm of broadcast television and radio advertising, your media planning and media buying operates not by our usual calendar, but by an intricate creation of the advertising industry called the “Broadcast Calendar.”
This calendar, this structured rhythm of broadcast life, begins each week on a Monday, closing it on Sunday. Every month is born on a Monday and meets its end on a Sunday, always neatly boxed into four weeks or five, twenty-eight days or thirty-five.
No stray days, no unnecessary hangers-on, every day accounted for and ordered, in broadcast months.
2024 is a “Broadcasthenge” year on the Broadcast Calendar!
Normally, the Broadcast Year and our standard (Gregorian) Calendar Year start their course on different dates. Not 2024 – it’s special! 🦄
In this notable year, both the Broadcast and Gregorian years embark from the same point – the first day of January, 2024. A Monday.
To those outside our industry, this synchronicity may not strike as unique. Generally, the Broadcast calendar commences on the final Monday of the previous December. This unusual aligning of calendars, this “Broadcasthenge,” is a sight seldom seen.
