A time duration represented in units of hours, minutes and seconds. The
format of the value is HH:MM:SS, where HH is the number of hours (from 00 to 23), MM is the
number of minutes (from 00 to 59), and SS is the number of seconds (00 to 59)., except
00:00:00 is not a valid value.
For lengths of less than an hour except for formats of 00:**:*0
For lengths of less than an hour except for formats of 00:**:0*
For lengths of less than an hour except for formats of 00:*0:**
For lengths of less than an hour except for formats of 00:0*:**
For lengths from 1 hour to 23 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds
This time format is a modified version of the 30-hour time format used to
represent the entire broadcast day within a single day. It is similar to the military time
format except it adds 24 hours to the times of the broadcast day that fall into the next
calendar day. This format currently supports broadcast days that start at either 5 AM or 6
AM. The format is HH:MM where HH are two digits representing hours and MM are two digits
representing minutes. For a broadcast day that starts at 5 AM and ends at 4:59 AM the next
calendar day, the time format for 5 AM is 05:00, for midnight is 24:00, and for 4:59 AM the
following calendar day is 28:59. For a broadcast day that starts at 6 AM and ends at 5:59 AM
the next calendar day, the time format for 6 AM is 06:00, for midnight is 24:00, and for
5:59 AM the following calendar day is 29:59. In this format for the broadcast day that
starts at 6AM, 30:00 current day is the same point in time as 06:00 of the following day.
The same is true for 29:00 current day and 05:00 next day when the broadcast day starts at 5
AM. This is allowed for convenience, for example when referring to the exact end of a day in
a time interval.
