TV and Radio
Run a broadcast channel without a broadcast budget
Schedule 24/7 playout from your library, cut to live when news breaks, and deliver the channel to web, mobile and connected TV.
The problems worth solving first
A channel is not a series of one-off streams — it is a continuous schedule. CastNest runs that schedule around the clock and lets you interrupt it live whenever you need to.
Continuous scheduling
Build a playlist that runs 24/7 from your existing library, so the channel never goes dark between live shows.
Live interruption
Switch from scheduled playout to a live feed for breaking coverage and drop back afterwards.
Revenue without a sales house
Insert ads through your own VAST server, or run the channel behind a subscription.

Frequently asked questions
Can I run a channel 24 hours a day?
Yes. Continuous looping of prerecorded content is available from Premium. Starter and Growth play through the selected files without looping indefinitely.
Can I broadcast audio only for an internet radio station?
Yes. Audio-only streams use far less bandwidth than video and are supported end to end, from ingest through to the embedded player.
How do I monetize a linear channel?
Two common approaches: insert advertising through a VAST-compatible ad server and keep the inventory, or place the channel behind a subscription. Both are supported and can be combined across different programs.
