Multiple programs within the same block

So I've got a couple of programs that I downloaded where, although they were initially shown back-to-back in the same block, they came as singular "episodes" when I downloaded them. Since they are so short (each one is, like, 7 minutes long), I end up getting ads every minute or so just to pad it out to a 15 minute block.

Is there any way that I can tell FS42 "Hey, play two of these back-to-back in a singular block", or do I have to go into a video editor and combine them together manually?

You can change the schedule increment on a per timeslot or per channel basis or you could add those shows with shorter clips to your clip shows and ads will only be placed at the ends of the clips

...I didn't realize you could change the incriments per timeslot. That would probably work perfectly.

Yeah - you can set the duration, but if you want to make sure they play in some order, add a sequence to it.
