Scheduled Programming, Not Playlist Looping
Scheduled Programming
Program time slots, episode sequencing, and day-of-week blocks. Your content airs on a schedule, not in a random loop.
Longform Content Library
Import TV series, documentaries, video essays, and recorded shows. Organize content into playlists and programming blocks.
Multi-Platform Delivery
Publish your channel through the built-in HLS web player, YouTube Live, Discord, or any RTMP destination. One schedule, multiple outputs.
From TV Series to Documentaries to Community Content
Series and Episodes
Build sequential playlists with automatic next-episode progression. Rotate through seasons and keep your audience following along.
Documentary and Educational
Create themed programming blocks with topic rotations and scheduled premieres. Curate a channel around subjects your audience cares about.
Creator and Community
Program video essays, event recordings, campus TV, church services, and local content. Any longform video works as TV station programming.
Cloud TV Stations Get Expensive Fast
Hourly Costs Scale with Longform
Cloud encoding bills grow with every hour of video you broadcast. Longform content like series episodes and documentaries means higher costs every month.
Storage Limits Hit Fast with Video Libraries
A single season of a TV series can consume gigabytes. Cloud platforms cap your storage or charge per-GB overages as your library grows.
No Real Scheduling Depth
Most cloud tools just loop playlists. No time slots, no episode sequencing, no day-of-week blocks. That is playlist management, not TV station scheduling.
Three Steps to Your TV Station
Import Your Video Library
Add your series episodes, films, documentaries, and recordings. Any MP4 or WebM file. No software-imposed storage limits.
Program Your Schedule
Use the weekly schedule grid to assign time slots, episode rotations, and themed programming blocks. Morning documentaries, evening series, weekend specials.
Pre-Render and Broadcast
SavePoint pre-renders transitions and overlays ahead of playback, then streams cached segments 24/7 to your configured destinations.
Everything You Need to Run a Channel
Video Library Management
Import and organize series, documentaries, video essays, and recordings. Tag, sort, and build playlists from your entire video collection.
Weekly Schedule Grid
Visual schedule builder with time slots, day-of-week blocks, and segment rotations. See your entire programming week at a glance.
Pre-Render Pipeline
Transitions and visual overlays are rendered before broadcast. Stream cached segments instead of live-encoding every frame.
Dynamic Overlays
Channel branding, now-playing information, and program details layered over your video content. Professional TV station presentation.
13+ Transitions
Crossfade, dissolve, slide, blur, and more. Every segment change gets a professional transition, configured per-segment or station-wide.
Multi-Destination Output
HLS web player (included). YouTube Live, Discord, and RTMP outputs available with Year Pass. One schedule, every platform.
LONGFORM PROGRAMMING LIBRARY
Import series episodes, documentaries, video essays, and recorded shows into your station library. Build programming blocks with sequential or shuffle playback, boost favorites into heavier rotation, and shelve content without deleting it.
Folder Scanning
Import video files from local directories with automatic metadata extraction. MP4, WebM, and other standard video formats.
Playlist Scheduling
Create playlists with sequential or shuffle playback. Assign playlists to schedule segments for automated programming rotation.
Favorites & Boost
Mark content as favorites to increase their frequency in rotation. Weight your programming toward preferred episodes and shows.
Exclusion Lists
Hide content from broadcast rotation without removing it from your library. Useful for seasonal, retired, or archived programming.
Program Your Entire Week
Arrange your segments into a weekly schedule. Different music for morning, afternoon, and night, automatically.
Run a TV station with multiple presenters and live shows
TV has always been multi-host. News desks rotate anchors across the day, panel shows give every guest a seat, community TV runs on a roster of local presenters, and gaming TV cycles casters through prime-time matches. SavePoint's cooperative streaming lets you hand any scheduled slot to a host and they broadcast live into the channel from their own rig: webcam, mic, overlays, and all.
When their show ends, SavePoint returns to the regular programming automatically. The channel keeps its schedule and each slot belongs to the host who was assigned to it.
Per-presenter time slots
Assign a scheduled segment to any station host. Their PC becomes the studio for that window.
OBS-compatible RTMP ingest
Hosts broadcast in from OBS, hardware encoders, or any RTMP-capable streaming software. Cameras, mics, and overlays stay on their setup.
Station master override
Per-segment connection keys are scoped to one slot. The station owner master key reclaims the air for breaking news, station IDs, or emergencies.
BUILT FOR 24/7 VIDEO BROADCASTING
Video is the most resource-intensive content to broadcast. SavePoint pre-renders transitions and visual overlays before playout, then streams cached video segments straight to your destinations.
Longform content benefits most: a 50-minute documentary with pre-rendered transitions costs almost nothing to stream compared to encoding every frame in real time. The schedule scales without the encoder bill scaling with it.
The result is a TV station that runs reliably on modest hardware, leaving plenty of room for the live-presenter slots and overlays your audience expects.
