    1. Bye-Bye NOLA Michael Hunt VP, Enterprise Applications PBS

    2. NOLA Network Operations Logging Application PBS “homegrown” application Supports the distribution of schedule information Supports flow of information to automation Current generation in operation since 1992

    3. Orion v1.0 Web-based application Supports the collection of program info Replaced former PDB – program database In operation since 2001

    4. NOLA needs to be replaced > Built to support processes in place since the 70s It’s broken! Cannot support File-based contribution and distribution Frame accurate timings The growing number of versions BroadView was selected to replace NOLA Implementation design began in early 2004 Needed time to consider systems supporting stations Significant effort to future-proof plans

    5. Orion v1.0 needs to be upgraded Current version of Orion cannot support Association between program information and media Not built to allow for the submission of spots Not built to allow for the submission of media files Completing Orion v2.0 development Will be compatible with BroadView

    6. Operational Impacts of Change Guiding Principles High-level Information Flow Key Impacts Program Information Hierarchy PODS v4 and Reporting Timeline

    7. Guiding Principles In support of external and internal deployment Reduce duplicative tasks (ie: re-keying, re-creation of reports, etc.) Automate to minimize the number of hand-offs Promote clear ownership and accountability for tasks

    8. Guiding Principles In support of external and internal deployment Communicate key concepts and solicit feedback from key stakeholders Do No Harm Minimize the initial impacts on producers, distributors, and station operations

    9. High-level Information Flow

    10. Key Impacts of the Change Positioned to manage the submission of spots Processes and systems to support ingest Streamline repacks Timings will no longer be estimated Approximate Technically Evaluated Timing information will be frame accurate More detailed rights information “Usage Dates” will govern program availability

    11. Key Impacts of the Change NOLA subscripts are going away In their place: Package Types Other characteristics tracked separately: Revision Number CC SAP DVI Aspect Ratio NOLA Codes will continue to be generated i.e. Episode-level – NOVA 001601 Stations highly dependent Distributed via PODS v4 Will continue to appear on reports

    12. Program Information Hierarchy Mapping What was formerly

    13. Hierarchy Example - Clifford

    14. Hierarchy Example - Nova

    15. Package Types Base Unedited Stacked Stacked Unedited Embedded Promo Reinvented Breaks Pledge Pledge Event Short Spot

    16. Packages – not Versions

    17. PODSv4 and Reporting Stay in your seats! Detailed Session today at 10:45am

    18. Reporting All current NOLA reports will come from BroadView in some form Program Offers Schedule Listings – Advance Schedule, Alpha List, OPSLOG, Program Lineup and Timings (PLT), and corresponding revisions Reports will be available from PBS Connect Key data elements will be indexed and fully searchable

    19. PBS Connect PBS Connect’s program search pages will be reformatted Data will be more easily found Streamlined process for publishing pages

    20. Timeline Training has started Extensive testing May and into June BroadView’s current ‘go live’ is slated for late June 2005 PODS v4 will start producing files at the same time PODS v2 will continue to produce files in parallel for one week containing day-of-air changes only
