Control Room
Transmission readiness needs one visible truth.
Channel state, route status, MCR handover, monitoring, failover, and go/no-go context stay connected before air.
OnAirGrid broadcast workflow software
Broadcast workflow software built to keep every operation in sync
MCR, playout, transmission readiness, and media operations command.
OnAirGrid gives broadcasters, media houses, streaming teams, and production companies one command center for content readiness, schedules, technical checks, approvals, media movement, and delivery.

Tolerance for version confusion
Built around broadcast operations
MCR, engineering, media supply, compliance, and scheduling finally work from the same operational truth.
OnAirGrid helps teams know what is ready, what is missing, what is approved, what is scheduled, what is at risk, what is going to air, and what needs intervention before transmission.
Next-to-air confidence
MCR handover clarity
TX readiness sign-off
Archive and DR proof
Broadcast environments
Built for control rooms, operations teams, and live transmission pressure.
OnAirGrid uses real broadcast surfaces and operational imagery because the product has to feel serious enough for teams responsible for what reaches air.
Operations Team
Scheduling, compliance, media supply, and engineering stop working in silos.
Each team sees what is ready, missing, approved, late, blocked, or at risk before it becomes a transmission issue.
Live Command
Live events and OB workflows get accountable handovers.
Venue connectivity, contribution paths, comms, rehearsal state, escalation contacts, and incident notes stay in the same record.
The problem
Broadcast operations break when readiness is scattered.
The expensive failure is rarely one missing task. It is the gap between asset arrival, metadata, QC, compliance, access services, scheduling, engineering readiness, MCR handover, and transmission clearance. OnAirGrid connects those layers before content goes to air.
Operations Control
One command view for channel status, on-air risk, escalation owners, MCR handovers, and operational clearance.
MCR & Playout
Next-to-air visibility, playlist readiness, missing media, version conflicts, audio readiness, and final operator notes.
Transmission Readiness
TX window checks, route confirmation, distribution endpoints, monitoring status, failover readiness, and go/no-go sign-off.
Broadcast Engineering
Track servers, routers, encoders, decoders, storage, automation, monitoring, contribution links, and infrastructure incidents.
OB & Live
Plan truck readiness, venue connectivity, comms, camera chains, contribution paths, rehearsal status, and live risk.
Archive & DR
Confirm archive status, restore paths, backup copies, DR copies, alternate playout paths, and recovery readiness.
Product proof
A broadcast command center, not a generic media dashboard.
The secured workspace opens with channel risk, next-to-air, MCR handovers, playout readiness, TX readiness, media supply, QC, compliance, access services, OB/live, archive, DR, integrations, and engineering incidents.

OnAirGrid workflow
From media supply to transmission clearance, every layer stays accountable.
OnAirGrid does not replace playout, MAM, traffic, QC, compliance, or monitoring systems. It gives broadcast teams the control layer that connects their readiness state before content reaches air.
Supply
Track expected assets, delivery packages, metadata, captions, subtitles, audio description, and language versions.
Validate
Confirm ingest, technical QC, compliance clearance, access services, schedule alignment, and content/version truth.
Handover
Give MCR and playout teams the current readiness state, outstanding risks, operator notes, and escalation contacts.
Transmit
Clear the TX window with route status, signal path readiness, monitoring, failover, archive, and DR visibility.
Before OnAirGrid
Broadcast readiness lives across too many rooms.
- Traffic, scheduling, media supply, QC, compliance, engineering, and MCR each hold partial truth.
- Teams chase the correct version, subtitle status, audio tracks, route state, and sign-off in different systems.
- Late changes create on-air risk because operational blockers are discovered too close to transmission.
- Live and OB handovers depend on documents, calls, spreadsheets, and individual memory.
After OnAirGrid
Broadcast teams see what is safe to air.
- Every channel, playlist item, live event, route, asset, and compliance step has a visible readiness state.
- MCR, engineering, scheduling, compliance, access services, and media operations work from the same record.
- Version conflicts, missing media, QC failures, caption gaps, and TX risks surface before they become incidents.
- Operational handover, archive, DR, and post-event reporting become part of one accountable control layer.
Compliance readiness
Track compliance review, rights windows, watershed rules, captions, subtitles, audio description, loudness, and final clearance.
Engineering runbooks
Keep route plans, device readiness, server status, network notes, monitoring, failover, and escalation paths tied to the broadcast event.
Multi-team control
Built for broadcasters, channels, playout centres, MCR teams, engineering teams, transmission teams, OB teams, compliance, and media operations.
