How to Build a 24/7 Channel From Your Video Library

· Fast Monkey

Most creators and broadcasters already own hours of recorded content. A 24/7 channel puts that library to work: it keeps your brand on air between lives and creates continuous ad inventory.

1. Organize the library

Group videos by theme, length and audience. Check that you have the rights to distribute each one on the platforms you plan to use.

2. Build a schedule

Create a programming grid instead of a random playlist: blocks by time of day, recurring shows and a predictable rhythm. Viewers come back to what they can expect.

3. Plan the ad breaks

Decide where breaks go and how long they last. Mark them with SCTE-35 so FAST platforms and ad partners can monetize them.

4. Let live take over

The best channels mix both: when you go live, the live show replaces the schedule; when the live ends, the 24/7 programming continues automatically.

5. Distribute

Send the channel to social platforms over RTMP for reach and to FAST and ad partners over SRT for monetization.

Fast Monkey Creator keeps a 24/7 schedule from your video library running between lives and sends the same signal to RTMP destinations and two SRT outputs with SCTE-35. Explore Fast Monkey Creator.
