OnAirFlow

The rundown tool for daily live news shows. Browser-based, real-time, ~90% less than an iNews contract.

The Lede · Issue 01

The daily rundown, without the six-figure contract.

By the OnAirFlow desk·Filed · Control Room·Est read · 2 min

Modern rundown software built for two-hour daily news shows. Browser-based. Real-time. Your team learns it in an afternoon — not a week of vendor training. iNews and ENPS cost $50,000 a year. We do the part you actually need, for about 2% of that.

"We replaced a Google Doc, a spreadsheet and two Slack channels with one board. Prep time dropped from 90 minutes to 40."

Section 03 · The Feature

A day in the rundown, told in five cues.

Run of show
TZ · Eastern
08:00
CUE 01

Morning editorial.

Stories land in the ideas column straight from the pitch meeting. Pitch summary, working title, assigned reporter, expected runtime — all attached from the jump. No “can someone forward me the pitch deck”.

10:00
CUE 02

The rundown gets built.

Drag stories into A-block, B-block, closer. Plug in your own AI key — Claude, GPT-4, Gemini, Grok — and draft host notes from any source link in seconds. Your key, your prompt, your voice. No vendor lock-in on the model.

12:00
CUE 03

Final read.

Teleprompter opens in a second tab. Hosts rehearse, producers adjust timing live. Every change syncs to every screen before you finish typing it.

13:00
CUE 04 · ON AIR

The show clock starts.

Current story highlighted in tally red. Flash messages to host. Overtime flagged the instant a segment drifts. The whole room stays on the same second.

15:00
CUE 05

Archive and prep.

Export to PDF, Word, or Markdown. Tomorrow's rundown auto-creates from the template. Analytics roll up automatically. You go home.

Section 04 · Classifieds

Built for daily news. Not for everyone.

We are not a podcast tool. We are not a YouTube editor. We are rundown software — shaped, day after day, by people who actually run daily news shows.

Ad 01

Streaming-native news.

Indie daily news on YouTube, Twitch, X, Substack Live.

Ad 02

Small-market TV.

Affiliates and local news too small for iNews.

Ad 03

Campus daily.

Journalism programs, student newsrooms, training.

Ad 04

Corporate briefings.

Fortune 500 daily all-hands, internal comms.

Section 05 · Opinion

iNews and ENPS are great.

They're also $50,000.

If you run CBS Evening News, use iNews. If you run a two-hour daily — with a producer, an EP, and two hosts — paying six figures for a rundown is insane. So is running the show off a Google Doc.

— An editorial position OnAirFlow is willing to defend.

Column A
NRCS · LEGACY

What iNews / ENPS do that we don't.

  • 01 — MOS protocol with playout servers.
  • 02 — Deep NRCS features: wire ingest, archive.
  • 03 — Enterprise on-prem deployment.
  • 04 — 40 years of broadcast muscle memory.
Column B
MODERN · BROWSER

What we do that they don't.

  • 01 — Live in a browser. Zero install, zero IT ticket.
  • 02 — Onboard a team in an afternoon.
  • 03 — Bring your own AI key. No per-seat AI fees.
  • 04 — Flat pricing, on the marketing site.
  • 05 — ~90% less than an iNews contract.

Q.

How is this different from iNews?

A.

We're not trying to be iNews. We're the sane option for shows iNews was never priced for.

Q.

What happens if OnAirFlow goes down mid-show?

A.

Every rundown exports to PDF at any time. Offline teleprompter fallback ships on Studio and above.

Q.

Do you integrate with OBS, vMix, or Ross?

A.

Webhooks + JSON API today. MOS is on the roadmap, deliberately not rushed.

Q.

What's BYOK AI?

A.

Bring Your Own Key. Paste your Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, or xAI key. We bill you zero dollars for AI. You bill yourself.
