To provide an automatic program control apparatus capable of reducing an operating load by decreasing number of operation times by an operator to the utmost extent, reducing the employment cost by decreasing the number of operators, and avoiding broadcast accident due to operation mistake by the operator.

When an automatic multi-connection means 17 is started by a clock device 3 every one second, the automatic multi-connection means 17 reads ON/OFF information of service (1 to n) automatic multi-connection buttons 41-1 to 41-n of an operation console 4, and summates a preset time read from the clock device 3 to a time set by an automatic multi-connection time setting menu 51 to obtain an automatic multi-connection time in the case of ON state. The automatic multi-connection means 17 collates a broadcast time of multi-connection collation data of a service 1 from a multi-connection collation data storage section 18 with an automatic multi-connection time, when there exists an event at the same time in the multi-connection collation data, the automatic multi-connection means 17 acquires a multi-connection number of the event, designates it to a multi-connection means 12, which carries out multi-connection.
