ScheduleNow

Which slot the clock says should be on right now, and what follows it

Attributes (8)

Attribute	Type	Required	Description
now	string	Yes	What time it is on the station's own clock, in the same zone-naive YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss shape as a block's ends. It is here so a caller can say how much of the block is left without knowing the station's timezone: subtracting two readings taken in one frame is arithmetic, deriving one is not
timezone	string	No	The IANA zone the station reads its clock in: station.timezone, or the machine's own when that is empty. Optional because a station from before it existed does not send it. For a console showing the station's time beside an operator's own when the two differ, which a zone-naive reading cannot tell it
slotId	string	No	The slot in force at this instant. Absent means the station has no schedule
hostPersonaId	string	No	Who presents tonight's night of the slot in force: a guest sitting in, or the slot's own host. Absent when it names nobody, which is the station's own host. Only the night that is ON is answered, so a guest who comes at random stays a surprise until their night begins
coHostPersonaIds	string[]	No	Who presents beside tonight's host on the slot in force, in order. Only the night that is ON is answered, so a visitor stays a surprise until their night begins
regularPersonaId	string	No	Whose show it usually is, while a guest sits in on the slot in force. Absent on an ordinary night, and while the station's own host would be the regular one
airingSlotId	string	No	The slot the running order actually belongs to. Different from the one above while an operator's own choice holds, which it does until the next slot begins
upcoming	ScheduleOccurrence[]	Yes	The block on now, if there is one, and the few that follow it, earliest first. Empty for a station with nothing scheduled from here on. A gap is simply absent, exactly as it is on the timetable: what plays there is the sustaining source rather than a block
