On air now.And what’s next.

The On air layout for 24/7 channels and broadcasts: a dark page with an “On air” badge, what’s on now and next, and the programme guide. Viewers join at the current moment — just like TV.

On the page

One look and it’s clearly live air.

01 / ON AIR

“On air” badge

Viewers know right away they’re watching live air, not a recording.

02 / NOW · NEXT

Now and next

What’s on now — with progress and end time; what’s next — with its start time. Next to it, the programme guide for today and tomorrow.

03 / CHANNEL

24/7 channels

A looping programme and scheduled shows. Programme edits take effect at the next item boundary — no break for viewers.

04 / BROADCAST

Broadcasts

Before the start the page shows a countdown; during the air an “About this broadcast” block shows the start, the end and what happens to the link afterwards.

05 / ACCESS

Air has its own access

Channel and broadcast access is independent of the videos’: show a private video on public air, or the other way round.

06 / VIEWERS

Viewers online

On-air analytics: concurrent viewers, peak and average session.

Broadcast modes

Live or Premiere.

A broadcast puts an uploaded video on air. The mode decides whether viewers can rewind. After the end you can keep the recording — the link keeps playing the video as a regular one.

LIVE

Live

Sliding window: viewers join at the current moment and can’t rewind. With Loop on, you get a 24/7 stream from one video.

EVENT

Premiere

A scheduled show with rewind: viewers join at the current moment but can go back to the start. Skipping ahead isn’t possible.

Air data

A programme guide for your widgets.

A published channel has open JSON endpoints: the programme guide and what’s on now. Show the schedule on your site or in your app, and the stream in any player.

  • The guide covers the next 24 hours; ?from= and ?to= extend it up to two weeks.
  • CORS is open: read the endpoints straight from the browser on any site.
  • Two HLS manifests — fMP4/CMAF and MPEG-TS — for Smart TVs, set-top boxes and external players.

Switch the channel on or start the broadcast — now or on schedule — and share the link.
