It is very important that broadcasters do not upload large amounts of metadata without prior consent from Kantar Media! Doing so might prevent correct processing of metadata for all broadcasters.
The broadcast day covers a 24 hour period from 03:00 to 26:59 (inclusive).
Linear logs must be delivered in xml-files that validate against schema "norway-program.xsd" (attached on this page). A linear log must be uploaded to Kantar Media no later than 08:00 CE(S)T the day after the broadcast day it applies to.
The log cannot contain any schedules for the day before the broadcast day it applies to, in other words it cannot start earlier than 03:00. It is however legal for it to end after 26:59. The spill-over will be included in the following days reporting.
While it is perfectly legal for a linear log to contain gaps, it cannot contain overlaps. Overlapping schedules will be discarded. All logs must also be sorted on start time. A log that does not validate against the schema or contains overlaps, will be rejected entirely.
