In a block plan, day-part split refers to the percentage allocated to which periods?

• A. The total number of spots.
• B. The duration of each spot.
• C. The time of day for each spot.
• D. Peak and Off Peak periods.

Answer: (D)

Daypart split is about how a block plan divides the schedule across different parts of the day, allocating a percentage of the total inventory to times when audiences are most (peak) and least (off-peak) available. It’s not about how many spots you have, how long each spot lasts, or the exact clock times assigned to individual spots. Instead, it assigns proportions to peak versus off-peak periods to balance reach and cost. For example, a plan might put a larger share of spots in peak times to maximize exposure, with the remainder placed in off-peak periods.
