Common Questions About This Radio and TV Station Intranet
What is this radio and TV station intranet built with?
It is built entirely with out-of-the-box SharePoint web parts: Text, News, Countdown Timer, Events, Weather, and Video, styled with a custom theme, custom fonts, and flexible sections. There is no custom code and no third-party tools. It is the kind of clean, maintainable intranet Greg Zelfond builds for broadcasters and media companies.
What’s included on the radio and TV station intranet?
The homepage opens with a welcome hero and a featured story, followed by a Today’s Rundown banner for producers. Below that sit Station News, an event countdown, Our Brands links, and Upcoming Events. The lower half adds Studio Tools for newsroom and engineering systems, the On Air Team, In the Market weather, Ratings and Digital charts, and a Morning Show Promo video.
Does this design use any custom code or third-party tools?
No. Every element on the page is a standard SharePoint web part or page feature. That matters because out-of-the-box designs are stable, secure, and easy to maintain, and nothing breaks when Microsoft rolls out updates. Your own staff can edit news, events, links, and charts without a developer. Out-of-the-box is the only way Greg builds.
Can this design be customized for our station or media group?
Absolutely. The brand tiles, studio tool links, chart data, weather cities, on-air team, colors, and fonts are all tailored to your organization. Greg adapts the layout to the way your newsroom, master control, engineering, sales, and digital teams actually work, whether you run a single TV station, a radio cluster, or a multi-market media group.
Will this radio and TV station intranet work on mobile devices?
Yes. Because it is built with out-of-the-box SharePoint web parts and flexible sections, the page reflows automatically on phones and tablets in a browser and in the SharePoint mobile app. That suits reporters, photographers, and engineers who are out in the field or in a live truck and need to check the rundown, events, or weather on the go.
Can Greg build this radio and TV station intranet for our organization?
Yes – this is exactly the kind of work Greg Zelfond does. As an independent SharePoint consultant and Microsoft MVP, he designs and builds out-of-the-box intranets like this one for broadcasters and media companies, from planning the sections to configuring the site and training your team.
