Startup Idea: Broadcasting Communication Optimization Software

Startup idea to develop a software that improves communication in the broadcasting industry. It allows producers and technicians to form groups and relay messages via chat based on their priority; includes options for voice com selectable via keyboard shortcuts as per groups determined by the producer, along with the ability for high priority messages to pop up.

I am currently working in the broadcasting industry as a producer. When we are broadcasting all the communications is done through radio. Usually the talent has a different channel to the technicians, producers and everyone on set. Everyone else usually shares the same radio frequency.

A lot of the communication is therefore cluttered and can be sometimes difficult to understand and hard to decipher. I propose a piece of software that lets producers and technicians form groups in the software. All messages should be able to be relayed via chat if it is non crucial.

Voice com should be selectable via keyboard shortcuts for different type of groups which are determined by a producer. The chat software should be seen at all times. High priority messages should appear as a pop up.
