Can be configured in Sandbox Options.
Adds a new channel with custom shows as well as the ability to have the Life & Living Shows mixed in.

New Shows:
Forge Ahead: Blacksmithing(Metalworking), Welding, Glassmaking and Masonry.

Life & Living Shows (Only Skill Shows, no adverts!)

Shows start twice a day on the Broadcast Day set in sandbox, default is day 9.

The show selected is random from the pool of shows. Individual categories can be blacklisted, if you desire (this also applies to the Life & Living show selection -- ONLY ON THIS CHANNEL --

The hour that your shows are broadcast is also configurable! defaults are 9 am and 9 pm.

This can be configured so the channel will run indefinitely, however by default, the shows will only be broadcast once and the shows will stop when the power goes out.

[Note: If your loading this into a pre-existing saved game, any TV's within proximity of the character at the o'clock should have the "Emergency TV Station" preset added.]

It dosn't work with the mod "Learn to read" when the character look a program into this channel, it don't earn XP for learn to read...

我也尝试过更改沙盒设置添加各种频道和修改时间提前

但从未在这个频道上收看到技能相关的信息 就是警告而已 奇怪

I have also tried changing sandbox settings, adding various channels and advancing the time in advance. But I have never received skill-related information on this channel. It's just a warning. Strange.

it's definitely not working for me, I tried multiple config option on the sandbox settings and nothing my character seems to not be getting xp and the show does not play it only plays the warning and that's it

@TnT4u By default the mod config option "Stop Broadcast on Power Outage" is true, if you didn't change the default settings, and started a "Six Month Later" game without changing other sandbox settings the channel in-game would not broadcast. I have see the broadcast in a "Six Month Later" game with all defaults setting the "Stop Broadcast on Power Outage" to false.

Is it works well with never-ending tv or looped tv?

IDK if its a compatibility issue with one of my other mods I'm using but I'm playing on the 6 months later scenario and I have it set to play indefinitely but it never plays. Is that a bug or should I look in the console log for something specific to figure out if it is a bug? I don't have any errors or warnings for this mod all I see is it loading.

@潇尼酱, since these are sandbox options, you can change them by going into debug mode, changing the sandbox options on your save, saving, restart w/o debug and the new sandbox options should persist.

Bro, I played for a while and then realized that I didn't set up Life&Living Shows. Even though I set it up, I didn't have this channel, so I cancelled my subscription and re subscribed, which caused it to explode. Is there still any way to save it:steamsad:

Hey, Great MOD. I really appreciate the work that went into this, It's great to have another channel to help gain levels.:)

@azzagetcrunk Remember the channel selects randomly from the pool of shows. Perhaps you have just been unlucky in the respect to you having seen a "new" show yet.

I can confirm based on the current version, first airing day 1, a new character, time accelerated 500x assuming your present for every broadcast, and that the show is removed after broadcast it takes just over a month in game time to view all the shows.

Depending on how you configure the mod changes your chances of seeing a "new" show.
