  Program Management  
     
 

goliveTV provides broad pre-production services, enabling television production teams to pre-program and script user generated content for airing in live broadcasts.

With goliveTV's Program Management utilities, production teams can create any number of pre-planned programs, which can be tagged for airing on specific broadcasts, or used for multiple shows. To assist in building programs, all content stored in the goliveTV media pool, whether SMS, MMS, e-mail and video, can be searched, screened and then allocated to one or more shows

  On-air Management  
     
 

goliveTV offers an easy and efficient means to move user generated content on-air. Pre-programmed content and live video callers, which have called into the show via 3G mobile phone or Internet webcam, can be easily added into a live broadcast. goliveTV also offers the ability to make outbound video calls to viewers, including these callers in the broadcast.

goliveTV provides innovative capabilities for interacting, moderating and managing live video callers. The system provides broadcast production with full control and monitoring capability over all callers to the system. While waiting to be interviewed by the production staff or entering a broadcast, callers can be placed in unique video waiting rooms, where they can view video content of various sorts, partake in quizzes, or even record their own video content.
