FREQUENT QUESTIONS

BEFORE LAUNCHING
A CHANNEL.

01What is the difference between broadcast TV and FAST?

Both rely on linear programming, playout, EPG and monitoring. Broadcast integrates with TV infrastructure and operators, while FAST describes free, advertising-supported distribution on connected platforms. OKAST prepares and operates both through the same workflow.

02Can OKAST help us negotiate and distribute the channel?

Yes. OKAST assesses territories, editorial positioning and relevant destinations with you, helps present the channel and supports commercial discussions. When a project falls within the scope of our agreements, OKAST can act as aggregator through pre-negotiated contracts, then coordinate onboarding, specifications, feed delivery and ongoing operations.

03Is access to every platform guaranteed?

No. Our network, agreements and operating experience significantly reduce access complexity, but each platform retains the final decision. Eligibility depends on content, territory, editorial proposition, advertising model, available rights and destination-specific criteria.

04Who builds and maintains the programme schedule?

All three operating models are available. Your teams can programme independently in the no-code CMS, build the first schedules with our experts or delegate preparation to our channel managers. We can define day formats, recurring slots, fill rules, live placement and advertising load, then improve the schedule using performance data.

05Can OKAST operate the channel day to day?

Yes. Depending on scope, our teams can manage schedule updates, QA, content and rights checks, live supervision, now-playing control, output monitoring, incident coordination and reporting to distribution partners.

06How are advertising and inventory split handled?

Breaks are placed in the schedule and signaled using standards such as SCTE-35. Insertion can use the destination’s advertising stack or an SSAI setup defined in the project. For selected channels, OKAST can also activate advertising demand and share inventory with the publisher. Allocation, responsibilities, fill and reporting are agreed by channel and destination.

07Can live feeds be included in a channel?

Yes. A live feed can be scheduled, checked before going on air and combined with pre-recorded programming, EPG, graphics and advertising breaks. Our teams can also support event preparation, QA and live supervision.

08Do editorial teams need technical skills?

No. Day-to-day programming and editorial operations are designed for no-code use. OKAST supports initial configuration, trains the team and assigns a dedicated account manager. Online support and managed programming, QA and monitoring services can complement this setup.
