Crispin’s NewsWheel solution allows broadcasters with existing news productions to add a 24-hour news channel with little investment. The system offers complete control over on-air programming and provides support for live news, weather cut-ins and commercial breaks.

NewsWheel executes multiple active rundowns, as entered by producers through newsroom computer systems (NCS.) Crispin’s NewsWheel solution, while working seamlessly with NCS, switches to studio output to support live news cut-ins and triggers master control automation to roll commercial breaks. Changes in show format and content order are recognized by NewsWheel and refl ected immediately in the Crispin playlist. Crispin’s NewsWheel interfaces to NCS through MOS, serial and FTP methods.

By using existing resources to the greatest extent possible, NewsWheel provides a cost-eff ective way for broadcasters to drive new advertising revenue.
