NAB Show: Frequency To Demo Platform Powering 160+ Local FAST News Channels

Frequency, a provider of streaming channel technology for broadcasters, will use the NAB Show in Las Vegas, April 18-22, to demonstrate how its platform supports more than 160 local FAST news channels across major DMAs, reaching nearly 60% of U.S. TV households and a unified local news streaming footprint of more than 70 million homes.

The company operates one of the largest live local news streaming infrastructures, supporting tens of thousands of live broadcasts each year. It expects to power more than 100,000 live events in 2026, from daily newscasts to real-time breaking news.

“Live content is becoming a cornerstone of FAST as broadcasters expand their reach to streaming audiences while complementing traditional operations,” said Jon Cohen, Frequency chief revenue officer. “Frequency delivers the broadcast‑grade platform required to operate live local news at scale — supporting real-time coverage, expanded distribution and incremental revenue across ad-supported platforms.”

Frequency supports both originating dedicated streaming channels and the real-time manipulation, reprogramming and distribution of existing broadcast feeds, offering flexible pathways to streaming growth. Its cloud-native platform is designed to help station groups scale live operations efficiently while maintaining reliability and control.

At the NAB Show, Frequency will showcase Frequency Studio capabilities including:

• Automated 24/7 scheduling to access content, optimize operations and ensure rights compliance while maintaining continuous programming
• Automated segment capture and reuse to record live segments and re-air them with precise control over timing, formatting and ad breaks
• Scalable, broadcast-grade infrastructure for real-time live control at national scale with seamless integrations and 24/7 support
