Scheduling & rights obligation utility for media teams
Schedule, manage rights, and format commercial breaks for broadcast, FAST channels, OTT, and cable from one centralized system.
Support for enterprise data control (optional customer-managed storage) and multi-event tournament scheduling—same engine, your rules.
Media companies operate across more platforms than ever before. Broadcast schedules, FAST channels, OTT distribution, and regional feeds all require different formats, rights checks, and commercial structures.
Our platform provides a single programming and rights management engine that allows networks to build schedules once and deploy them across every distribution channel with full rights compliance and automated commercial formatting.
Schedule once. Distribute everywhere.
The Complexity of Modern Television Distribution
Media companies face significant operational challenges managing programming across multiple distribution platforms.
- Linear broadcast
- Cable networks
- FAST channels
- OTT streaming platforms
- Regional and international feeds
Programming teams must manage:
- Scheduling grids
- Licensing windows
- Territory rights
- Commercial break structures
- Platform delivery formats
These workflows are often handled through legacy traffic systems, spreadsheets, and disconnected tools, creating operational inefficiency and risk.
A Unified Programming and Rights Platform
The platform centralizes programming scheduling, rights management, and commercial formatting into one system designed for modern multi-platform distribution.
Networks can schedule content once and distribute it across multiple platforms while ensuring rights compliance and proper commercial formatting.
Enterprise Data Control: Your Storage, Our Engine
Schedule.M runs the scheduling, rights, workflow, and AI decision engine—while enterprise clients may optionally keep sensitive source documents in their own storage environment.
- Platform-managed: Standard and smaller clients; we store files in our secure object storage.
- Customer-managed: Agreements, schedules, memos, scripts, and legal exhibits stay in your AWS S3, Azure Blob, Google Cloud Storage, SharePoint, or on-prem—we store only references, metadata, and extracted intelligence.
The application, scheduling engine, rights engine, AI copilot, permissions, and audit logging all run from our platform. Parsing and indexing work the same whether files live with us or in your environment; only the storage backend changes.
Designed for enterprise procurement and legal review. See the technical design in the product documentation.
Multi-Event & Tournament Scheduling
Sports and live programming often require multiple concurrent events (e.g. tournament matches, playoff games) that must be assigned across networks and overflow channels.
Schedule.M supports event groups (tournaments or packages like World Cup or Olympics) and simultaneous slots: events that air at the same time are assigned to different networks with priority tiers and rights-aware placement. The ScheDUAL copilot can suggest placements and analyze the concurrent event slate.
- Event groups and simultaneous time slots
- Multi-network assignment (broadcast, cable, streaming)
- Priority tiers and overflow handling
- Rights tier and territory scope per event
Key Features
Centralized Programming Scheduling
Scheduling grids, automation, and channel management from a single environment. Schedule versioning supports advance planning and audit trails.
Integrated Rights Management
Rights windows, territorial restrictions, and licensing tracking in one place. Automated rights validation prevents scheduling outside permitted windows or territories.
Commercial and Ad Break Formatting
Ad pods, sponsorship slots, promo insertion, and FAST ad structure. Commercial compliance is applied consistently across distribution platforms.
Multi-Platform Distribution
One schedule can output to broadcast, cable, FAST channels, and OTT platforms. Platform-specific formatting is handled within the system.
Enterprise Data Control
Optional customer-managed storage: keep sensitive agreements, schedules, and documents in your own S3, Azure Blob, GCS, or SharePoint. Schedule.M holds only references and extracted data.
Tournament & Live Event Scheduling
Event groups and simultaneous slots for sports and live programming. Assign concurrent matches across networks with priority and rights-aware placement.
