If you're still juggling video uploads via Google Forms, email threads, and various cloud storage tools, you're not alone. Across the country, PEG stations patchwork homegrown systems together to collect content from community producers. While creative, these processes come at a cost—wasted staff time, inconsistent metadata, video QC, and way too much scrambling to prep recurring shows on tight timelines.
The new Cablecast Content Submission Portal can help. A lot. We previewed this and other new features that will debut in Cablecast Version 7.10 (coming soon) last month in Boston at the Alliance for Community Media National Conference.
From Chaos to Control
Built with feedback from municipal media operations like yours, the Cablecast Content Submission Portal is designed to cut down the busywork and bring structure, consistency, and control to the content intake process from trusted community producers. You get a branded, user-friendly interface that provides producers a direct path for uploading shows and providing custom metadata, which means no more missing fields or mystery file formats. Plus, content stays in the cloud until you preview and approve the file.
But here’s the real game-changer: You set the rules. Stations can approve each submission manually or empower trusted producers with streamlined scheduling permissions, all while maintaining oversight. You can also customize metadata fields, include interactive usage agreements, and support recurring content schedules without chasing down files every week. It’s automation without sacrificing quality control—and it can save more than 45 minutes of manual processing for your staff member each week.
End-to-End Efficiency for City Media Teams
Municipal media teams asked for this, and we listened. The new Content Submission Portal is the missing link in your end-to-end broadcast automation chain. It empowers producers, saves staff time, integrates directly into your Cablecast workflows, and eliminates the need for clunky external tools.
