> ℹ️ The difference between this List and the [Apps "My Station" Spotlight Videos (Formerly Station Video Portal Homepage Carousel)](https://docs.pbs.org/space/CB/327550810/Apps+%22My+Station%22+Spotlight+Videos+(Formerly+Station+Video+Portal+Homepage+Carousel)) is that this list holds up to 24 shows and displays on PBS.org, while the Apps "My Station" Spotlight Videos (Formerly Station Video Portal Homepage Carousel) can hold 15 videos (12 display in the carousel) using **any national or local episode, clips, and promos** and displays on PBS apps only.

| **Platform** | **Displays?** | **Where** |

## Overview
> 📝 **To add videos to the local station section on the ****[PBS.org](http://PBS.org)**** Shows page, use the ****[Station Shows List](https://docs.pbs.org/space/CB/327554018)****. **
The Station Video Portal Carousel provides a way to add up to 24 shows, both local and national, to the *Featured Shows* section of your station video portal homepage.
## Logic
- This list serves as the fallback for the [Apps "My Station" Spotlight Videos (Formerly Station Video Portal Homepage Carousel)](https://docs.pbs.org/space/CB/327550810/Apps+%22My+Station%22+Spotlight+Videos+(Formerly+Station+Video+Portal+Homepage+Carousel)) list.
- It is also used as the “Featured Shows” row on the Station Video Portal homepage and PBS.org “My Station” page, as well as “[Station] Favorites” on the App “My Station” page.
- If the [Apps "My Station" Spotlight Videos (Formerly Station Video Portal Homepage Carousel)](https://curate-v3.console.pbs.org/stations/KAET/lists/station-video-portal-homepage-carousel/version) does not have a live version, the most recent episode from each show in this list displays.
- Once a version of the [Apps "My Station" Spotlight Videos (Formerly Station Video Portal Homepage Carousel)](https://curate-v3.console.pbs.org/stations/KAET/lists/station-video-portal-homepage-carousel/version) is live, that is used in place of this fallback logic.
> ⚠️ **Please note that as video assets become unavailable, they automatically disappear from the carousel, so please be sure you monitor your ****[Apps "My Station" Spotlight Videos (Formerly Station Video Portal Homepage Carousel)](https://curate-v3.console.pbs.org/stations/KAET/lists/station-video-portal-homepage-carousel/version)**** List ****regularly. As long as there is one active video in ****the video List****, the ****carousel pulls from this List****. When there are no active videos, the carousel populates with ****the first available episode from each of your first 15 shows in this Station Video Portal Carousel list.**
