ChannelName (string) –
[REQUIRED]

The name of the channel for this Program.

[REQUIRED]

The schedule configuration settings.
- ClipRange (dict) –
  
  Program clip range configuration.

    The duration of the live program in seconds.
  - RelativePosition (string) – [REQUIRED]
    
    The position where this program will be inserted relative to the RelativePosition.
  - RelativeProgram (string) –
    
    The name of the program that this program will be inserted next to, as defined by RelativePosition.
  - ScheduledStartTimeMillis (integer) –

  - Type (string) – [REQUIRED]
    
    Defines when the program plays in the schedule. You can set the value to ABSOLUTE or RELATIVE.
    
    ABSOLUTE - The program plays at a specific wall clock time. This setting can only be used for channels using the LINEAR PlaybackMode.
    
    Note the following considerations when using ABSOLUTE transitions:
    
    If the preceding program in the schedule has a duration that extends past the wall clock time, MediaTailor truncates the preceding program on a common segment boundary.
    
    If there are gaps in playback, MediaTailor plays the FillerSlate you configured for your linear channel.
    
    RELATIVE - The program is inserted into the schedule either before or after a program that you specify via RelativePosition.
SourceLocationName (string) –
[REQUIRED]

The name of the source location.
VodSourceName (string) – The name that’s used to refer to a VOD source.

Return type:
