What Is Broadcast Cloud TV Playout?

Cloud TV Playout is the operational engine that keeps your broadcast channels on air — ensuring every source, schedule, graphic, commercial, and outbound signal is delivered cleanly, compliantly, and on time.

BMG delivers this as a fully managed broadcast service, operated through our private Cloud Control Center™ and supported by the 24/7 Network Operations Center (NOC).

Cloud-based TV Playout is capable of handling:

  • Playout & SCTE signaling
  • Live inserts & commercial breaks
  • Graphics, sponsorships, & branding
  • QC, compliance, & logging
  • Routing, monitoring, & failover
  • Multi-platform distribution
  • Incident response & escalation

Your team focuses on programming. BMG handles everything required to keep your channel live.
