Designed for networks that need continuous, consistent, and coordinated connectivity across stories, shows, and stations, without version chaos. See Saga at NAB 2026.
Story-centric newsroom system Saga rolls out powerful new capabilities ahead of NAB 2026, designed to remove the most common slowdowns in daily newsroom production.
When the same story has to move across multiple rundowns, shows, and platforms, the cost is duplicated effort, version confusion, and last-minute coordination, with resorting to spreadsheets, email, and endless messages. Saga’s focus is on keeping teams aligned around a single story, even when contributors are distributed, and the news cycle is anything but predictable.
Eliminate repetitive edits with live-linked rundowns
In rolling news and multi-show production, the same story often appears in several places at once: a morning rundown, a midday update, a late news show, and sometimes across multiple stations. When something changes, teams end up making the same edit repeatedly, and it is easy for one version to fall behind.
Live linking was built to remove that duplicate work. When a story is linked across rundowns, an update made once is reflected everywhere the linked story is used, so teams stay aligned as the story evolves. Crucially, once content has aired, that specific rundown is automatically frozen from further live updates, ensuring the integrity of the broadcast record.
The system also gives local teams the flexibility to break a story from a live link and add a local editorial twist, without impacting other rundowns. If the original central story is updated, local teams still receive notifications and can optionally accept the changes to keep their versions up to date.
The practical outcome is fewer repeated edits, fewer inconsistent versions reaching air, and less time spent chasing updates across shows and teams.
Ease operations with Saga Organizations
Modern broadcasters are multi-station networks, not single newsrooms. When the same story has to land across multiple stations, the work multiplies fast, and consistency is usually the first casualty. Saga Organizations is built to conquer that reality, coordinating your entire network in one shared system.
Central control meets local needs. View restrictions keep individual editorial teams laser-focused, ensuring they see only the stories and information relevant to their specific market, cutting through the noise to boost efficiency.
It also streamlines the breaking news workflow: a story that begins as local, visible only to one market, can be easily escalated to national status, making it passively visible to all other markets without requiring journalists to search for it manually.
National and centrally produced stories are maintained and shared from a single platform, giving networks seamless coordination while empowering local teams to run their output their way.
Guarantee content integrity with audit logging
Saga is transforming editorial oversight from a reactive process into a real-time review superpower. In an age where provenance is everything, our new forensic-level audit logging provides an unalterable system of record that tracks every modification across your entire global footprint.
This creates a definitive, auditable chain of custody for your content, giving you absolute certainty in the integrity and origin of every asset you publish. You can finally see precisely which producers are driving your most impactful content, providing a level of cross-network visibility and irrefutable accountability currently unique in the industry.
Your newsroom in your pocket
Saga expanded mobile app capabilities so producers and journalists can do meaningful work away from the desk, not just monitor what is happening back at base. The intent is to keep the story moving while teams are out covering it, enabling updates from the field that flow naturally back into the newsroom.
This full suite of on-the-go features, including presenter view, story content editing, adding story notes for collaborators, and managing instance details or script editing, eliminates lag from handoffs and back-and-forth communication.
The power to update and refine the entire story, not just the script, in real-time when only a phone is available means your teams can react to and drive breaking news with maximum speed and agility.
