Use cases

One platform. Every kind of broadcast.

ChannelCast turns any RTMP source into a full TV network — live channels, on-demand archives, scheduled programming, and OTT apps. Here's how different organizations use it.

Faith

Churches and ministries

Stream Sunday services live, archive every sermon as VOD, and ship your own branded Roku and Fire TV channel — without buying broadcast gear or hiring an engineer.

  • Live ingest from OBS, ATEM Mini, or any RTMP encoder
  • Auto-recording of every service into a searchable sermon library
  • Scheduled mid-week replays so the channel never goes dark
  • Branded Roku + Fire TV apps activated per congregation
Education

Schools, universities, and training

Broadcast lectures, sports, graduations, and continuing-ed sessions live to parents, alumni, and remote students — and keep every recording searchable in a campus VOD library.

Creators

Streamers, podcasters, and content creators

Run your own always-on channel instead of paying YouTube and Twitch for the audience you built. Simulcast everywhere at once. Sell or sponsor your own catalog.

Media

Local TV, newsrooms, and indie networks
