I've never owned or managed a tv channel, how can you help?

We’ll take care of the technical details, scheduling, asset management, playlists, graphics and everything else needed to keep you on air 24/7.
What do I need to provide UltraChannel?
All you need is content and a few details. The content can be anything from general entertainment and informational programming to news, meetings or sporting events. We’ll take care of the rest.
How do I deliver my content to you?
You can deliver your content to UltraChannel via any number of online content sharing sites. We are also developing a customer portal that will allow you to FTP and login to upload your content.
Can I choose where my content can be seen?
Absolutely! We can deliver the content to your demarcation point, cable company head-end, transmitter site, social media and other streaming platforms.
How do I report a problem or a change?
We understand that tv schedules can change or you have an unexpected event. Simply contact us via the provided phone number and/or email address for our NOC.
How does UltraChannel allow me to provide live programming?
UltraChannel has a complete content transmission and delivery solution that you simply plug in and use at your production site. No satellite or dedicated fiber needed, only reliable internet.
How can I advertise on my channel?
Commercial channels need to generate revenue to be successful so we provide customizable tools that provide reliable and unique advertisement insertion into your broadcast/OTT or streaming channel. We also provide proof-of-play data.
How can I launch a streaming channel?
UltraChannel provides OTT and streaming services that enables your channel to be viewable worldwide or geo-blocked for specific locations. From encoding to ABR stacks, origin services and customized ad insertion, we have the tools and knowledge to provide a complete digital delivery solution.
What is different about file playback channels and live channels?
We provide these two tiers because of the difference in cost of operations between the two services. If your channel doesn’t have live meetings or events that you want to broadcast, save additional money by utilizing our Tier 1 option that provides a complete channel without live content. This means the channel continually plays out “live” but only showing pre-produced content.
What additional content can UltraChannel provide PEG channels?
UltraChannel can assist your PEG channel with additional programming by providing live and file-based international news, sports programming, educational and cultural programs. We are also working with content producers to provide a la carte live special events. We also provide complete, local weather and traffic content.
Does UltraChannel provide proof-of-play reports?
Yes, we provide complete proof-of-play and playout logs.
Is the weather, traffic and news content updated?
Yes, the data is fetched in real-time so you can be ensured the data is accurate.
