Inform the public, at any hour

Public agencies

Residents expect to follow meetings, emergency updates and civic programming without special equipment. A hosted channel gives an agency a stable place to send them: live when something is happening, and a loop of useful material when nothing is.

• Meetings and hearings

  Stream sessions live to every device and keep the recording available afterward.

• Public notices

  Fill quiet hours with announcements and service information on a repeating schedule.

• Urgent messages

  Add a ticker or banner across the channel at once when residents need to know something quickly.

• Several languages

  Offer a channel or a recording per language. See Languages and Captions & Transcripts.

• A clear archive

  Record each broadcast automatically so the full session can be watched on demand.

• Private sessions

  Access controls can keep some sessions private; we go through the options for yours.

Many agencies have a handful of people covering every platform. The workspace is browser-based and schedules repeat from templates. If your organization works under public procurement rules, tell us early and we will go through what you need from us.

Newsrooms and headline channels

News is the hardest genre to automate, because the plan changes while it runs. The tools must be strict about timing and flexible about content, and the crew needs room to change direction quickly. A fixed structure of bulletins and live slots can be filled between with recorded packages and repeats.

• Live switching

  Join a studio or field feed on cue, then return to the schedule.

• Tickers and headlines

  Rolling text, headlines and name captions with Omni Brand Overlay.

• Quick edits

  Drag a new item into the running schedule without stopping the channel.

• Remote teams

  Work from different places in the same browser view.

• Archive

  Record bulletins for on-demand viewing.

• Regions and languages

  Run a channel per region or language.

If you use a newsroom or scheduling system, tell us which one in your channel sketch and we will go through how it would connect.

Keep a standby ready

For both groups, continuity matters most when attention is highest. A standby channel can hold the essentials and be started when the main chain has a problem.
