Media Broadcasting Solutions

Program management means to apply strategic structure to editorial and production activities. The planning aspect supports the proactive side of broadcasting the variety of programs, and channels and reporting functionality is required to retrospectively evaluate broadcasting outcomes.

The entire planning process in a broadcast enterprise is highly complex, encompassing various stages, viewing angles and functional facets. Production systems generally only support the late stages of this process where a finished concept is translated into day or week templates filled with individual content items.

The media:fabric enterprise planning modules cover the full distance: program planning from initial concept to final on-air schedule, topic-oriented planning as the editorial seed of the production process, and event planning as the central tool to coordinate activities. Through seamless interaction and integration with the dira! scheduling components, 3rd party production & playout, newsroom computer systems, and other planning tools, media:fabric enterprise planning supports the entire planning process in any broadcasting environment.

The planning functionality is thoroughly complemented by the media:fabric enterprise reporting tools, which allow for versatile reporting and statistical functions as well as for powerful tools to comparing nominal and actual information on the programs broadcast.

As a fully cross-media enabled system, media:fabric Enterprise Program Management transcends the individual program, channel and medium and gives you the ability to manage any or all channels of your broadcasting enterprise from one place. From the overall view, you can selectively drill down into single networks or days, program containers and ultimately the individual item schedules attached to each program. From one interface you can quickly ensure that your individual program branding is maintained and prevent clashes between program structures both within and across channels.
