Music reporting across a real channel lineup is a manual, sampled, after-the-fact process. The result is cue sheets nobody fully trusts, reporting gaps that surface in audits, and a rights position built on estimates.
- 1 operator cannot monitor 40+ tracks by ear or eye at once
- Legacy probes confirm packet presence, not what airs inside the stream
- Faults survive on air for minutes until viewers or affiliates complain
