When there are more than three events listed for the day the text runs off the screen. We should think of the best way of dealing with this. The solution should take into account display details and how information flow.

I have made a quick fix to address the overlapping text, but that is really very short term, since it doesn't really resolve the issue if all events are happening at the same time. In that scenario the last events will never be seen.

A better solution may be to use the a carousel type of approach, whereby the events are all shown, but switching between screens, with 3 events at a time. This is something that is similar to what is done on airports screens for flight departures.

Have attached the events JSON that was being used to render the display.
