Broadcast Project Management for Schools (Assignment-to-Air)

RundownHQ is a newsroom-style platform for education. Classrooms don't start at the show; they start at the assignment. We manage the entire path from pitch to prompter.

How it works

  1. Programs → Seasons → Episodes — mirror professional structure for daily shows, sports, and podcasts.
  2. Assignments — owner, due date, runtime, notes; students accept/transfer/collaborate.
  3. Packages — upload video packages/VOs; managers leave notes; students resubmit.
  4. Scripts & Approvals — producers/teachers request changes and approve for air.
  5. Rundown Builder — compile approved items into a timed, printable rundown.
  6. Teleprompter & Live — anchors read; showcaller tracks real-time timing and cues.

Roles students actually learn

  • Program Broadcast Director (student lead)
  • Segment Producer (e.g., Weather, Sports, Community)
  • Reporter / Package Producer
  • Anchor / Showcaller / Teleprompter Op

Why schools pick RundownHQ over cue-only apps

Tools like Rundown Creator, Shoflo, and Rundown Studio focus on the show. RundownHQ includes the before—assignments, packages, scripts, approvals—so teachers can grade process, not just performance.
