# Ignore

The "# Ignore" command simply tells Command Center to stop paying attention to a particular relay channel on Broadcast Tools switchers. It used in conjunction with the # Listen command, which opens up communications with that relay channel, and the # HotTrack function, which responds to a closure on the specified channel by playing a specified audio file, "magic-call style."

•   Extended Example:
  
  ## Start of Network Broadcast
  # Route-For 00:14:00 Input 7 to Output 1 "The Jabber Network"
  # Listen 3
  ##
  ## Commercial Break 1
  /boot/Station/Commercials/Bill's Grocery.mp3
  /boot/Station/Commercials/Nancy's Diner.mp3
  /boot/Station/Commercials/Joe's Bank.mp3
  ##
  # Route-For 00:12:00 Input 7 to Output 2 "The Jabber Network"
  ##
  ## Commercial Break 2
  /boot/Station/Commercials/Ted's Laundromat.mp3
  /boot/Station/Commercials/Jill's Drive-Thru.mp3
  /boot/Station/Commercials/Howard's Small Engine Repair.mp3
  ##
  ## (etc)
  ##
  # Interrupt@:58:00 0
  # Ignore 3
  ## End of Network Broadcast
  ##
  /boot/Station/Promos/Sunday Night Jazz.mp3
  ## etc

In the example above, we open up switcher audio channel 7 and begin broadcasting the "Jabber Network. We use a "Listen" command to begin monitoring relay channel 3. When a relay closure occurs on channel 3, Command Center will break away from the network and play the entire first commercial break, then will return to the network again. When another relay closure occurs, we play the second local break, and so on. We cut away at :58 past the hour for local programming, and at that point, we do an "Ignore" to tell Command Center to stop listening to relay channel 3.
