Check the following in this order:
  1. Check Display Settings. From Display Owner Account click Administration -> Displays -> Click Display name link:
    • Check the Dayparts Tab for items such as, start & end times and slot duration. (Watch for long duration hold times such as 60 minutes and check for AM and PMs).
    • Check the zoning restrictions.
      • From Dayparts Tab click Hours of Operation, make sure no zoning is set to make the display blank on certain days or times.
  2. Check Sales. From Display Owner Account click Sales while in the Display Owner Account.
    • Check to see if there is current or active sales made to the display(s) or Groups in question by clicking the display name or group name and reviewing current sales transactions. 
  3. Check the Schedule. Click Switch Accounts browse for the Advertiser Account (can view this from Sales or Network Awareness) -> Click Schedule.
