# Remove an event from a schedule channel

DELETE https://api.fastpix.com/v1/cloud-playout/channels/{id}/schedule-event

This endpoint removes an event from a Cloud Playout schedule channel's timeline. The media it played stays in your workspace. The `id` in the path is the event's ID, not the channel's.

#### How it works

1. Make a DELETE request to this endpoint with the ID of the event you want to remove.

2. The response confirms the removal.

Removing an event leaves a gap in the timeline rather than pulling later events forward, so the rest of the schedule keeps its times. The channel shows its slate for the gap. On a channel that is on air, an event cannot be removed if it runs in the next few minutes.

#### Example

A broadcaster drops a scheduled repeat from tomorrow's line-up after deciding to leave the slot for a live update.
