You can add content to the channels and schedule them in different time slots through the “Scheduler”. You can also select time zones for a specific region through the scheduler.

To add content to the scheduler, navigate to "Cloud Playout"-->"Scheduler" in the Dashboard.
In the"Scheduler", select the "Channel" from the drop-down menu.
