Built to Showcase Every Program – Not Just Varsity Sports

School communities are built on shared moments – Friday night lights, standing ovations at the spring musical, senior night celebrations, and milestone graduations. With Hometown Live, Nevco is making it easier than ever for schools to share those moments with everyone who cares, no matter where they are.

Designed specifically for schools and their communities, Hometown Live is a school-centered streaming platform that puts events front and center while keeping ownership where it belongs: with the school.

Hometown Live platforms allow schools to broadcast athletic events, fine arts performances, ceremonies, and more. Each school receives dedicated channels and landing page, making it simple for fans to find and watch events live or on demand.

Best of all, viewing is completely free – no subscriptions, no paywalls, and no sign-ups required.

Hometown Live goes beyond traditional streaming by focusing on accessibility, simplicity, and community impact. With the platform, schools can:

  • Stream athletics and fine arts on dedicated channels
  • Centralize all broadcasts on a custom school landing page
  • Offer free access to viewers everywhere
  • Make events available on Roku and mobile devices
  • Archive broadcasts for video-on-demand viewing

This means every program gets visibility – not just varsity sports, but choir concerts, theater productions, academic competitions, and graduations too.

Comprehensive event streaming

While live sports are a major draw, Hometown Live was built to support everything that makes a school community special. Schools can stream:

  • Football, basketball, baseball, softball, volleyball, and more
  • Band, choir, orchestra, and dance performances
  • Theater productions and school assemblies
  • Commencements, award ceremonies, and special events

Every activity gets its moment, helping schools celebrate student achievement across academics, arts, and athletics.

Flexible options for schools

Hometown Live offers flexible options for schools at every level. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to upgrade, Hometown Live provides tools and packages to fit your needs, including:

  • Scorebird® integrations for automated score reporting
  • 2-Channel and 4-Channel Packages with professional cameras and AI tracking
  • Custom solutions that work with existing equipment

The result is a reliable, easy-to-manage broadcast experience without overwhelming staff or students.

Building community connections

At its core, Hometown Live is about connection. It allows grandparents across the country to watch a grandchild perform, alumni to stay connected to their alma mater, and communities to rally behind their schools – no matter the distance.

By removing barriers and keeping access free, Hometown Live ensures that no one misses the moments that matter most.

From the opening kickoff to the final curtain call, Hometown Live brings hometown moments to life – live, on demand, and for everyone.

Hometown Live isn’t just another streaming platform – it’s a community-first solution that helps schools share their stories, showcase student talent, and build pride that extends far beyond campus.

Transcoding moves to the cloud. Intercom, tally and shading stay at the venue

Transcoding moves to the cloud. Intercom, tally and shading stay at the venue

Vendors draw the same line: transcoding and graphics move to the cloud, while intercom, tally and camera shading stay on site. Riedel says the connection back to on-site talent, cameras, tally and IFB can still undermine the production or the business case. Hybrid looks like where things settle.

  • 01Dillon’s analysis suggests hybrid cloud-plus-venue production is where things settle, making on-site hardware for latency-bound work a long-term facility plan item.
  • 02Interoperability standards such as SMPTE ST 2110 and NMOS handle the plumbing. The question to put to vendors now is how their systems provision, configure, tear down and monitor services alongside other vendors' gear.
