Description

When performing an 'Add this show' action, the When box has a checkbox labelled 'repeats'. This is misleading because in broadcast terminology, a 'repeat' is an old show that is being played out again. What this box actually does is enable planners to set a regular show slot in the future, which may or may not include repeated content. So it would be better to label this checkbox 'Regular show?'

For the same reason, the 'Repeat Type:' label could be changed to 'Schedule:', e.g. Regular show? [yes] Schedule: weekly

I'm voting for changing the behaviour of repeated shows that they take the content of first show by default rather than renaming it to "Regular show". Of course, it would be good that you can manually edit future shows, but the content of the first one should be the default content for all future shows, too.

Hi Igor, the feature you're describing is different from the way that the When box currently works, which is to create an empty container for show contents. The implication is that the regular show will always have the same metadata for the container, such as show name and time of day, but the contents will be different for each broadcast.
I think the feature you have described is more like copying the entire show with contents to a new date or time, which is addressed in ticket http://dev.sourcefabric.org/browse/CC-1979
