Production knowledge for Course A broadcast crews
channelza was built to help studio teams move from planning to transmission without missing a cue — one clear resource for every stage of live programming.
From studio floor experience to a shared resource
channelza grew out of years spent on studio floors and in broadcast galleries across the UK. We kept rebuilding the same run sheets, rigging checklists and sound-check routines for every new production, so we brought them together into one resource.
Today, channelza supports Course A crews with the same practical guidance: how to plan a broadcast, set up studio equipment, switch cameras cleanly and run a sound check that holds up on air.
Principles behind every workflow
Planning first
Every workflow we document starts on the planning desk, not on the studio floor.
Built by crew
Our guidance comes from working directors, vision mixers and sound engineers.
Studio agnostic
Whether it's a single-camera set or a multi-gallery studio, the process still holds.
