Broadcasts - Add start and expiration date fields

I fully agree.  This would be similar to an OOO message for your email box. I am currently having to put a reminder on my calendar on when to post a broadcast message.

We could really benefit from being able to set an end date of a broadcast. I often will set a broadcast and then forget that it is still enabled until I am looking over one of our PMs shoulders and see a broadcast taking up half their screen! I also use it as an opportunity to educate the PM that they can press the "X" and have their real estate back.  :)

Makes sense, this idea (and my related one) are intended to try to solve that.

Some broadcasts are only relevant for a period of time (Solved by expiration dates)

Some broadcasts only need to be displayed X times (solved by a view count)

Regardless of the strategy taken above, the ability to schedule a broadcast is a common need (i.e. if the Admin is going to be on vacation but wants to activate a Broadcast in the future..)

Broadcasts are designed for the user to close them after they are read. However, we see the same problem that you do where users don't close the broadcast and just leave it open. I would love to have a better solution to that problem, rather than scheduling of the broadcasts.

Checking on the status of this - is it possible to have this implemented soon? 

With all the AWESOME* changes that the Aha team is making, I want to keep the user base apprised of the new features and the most effective way to do that is via Broadcasts. Many users are becoming numb to them though as the same broadcast sits there for a very long time, hence the need for a scheduling feature for the #broadcasts.
