Cloud-Native Platform Wins NAB Show Product of the Year and Radio World Best of Show for Satellite-Grade Performance, Flexibility and Monetization Capabilities
Scottsdale, Ariz. (April 24, 2026) — Skyview Networks returned from the 2026 NAB Show in Las Vegas with dual industry recognition for Cirocast, its cloud-native broadcast-grade audio distribution platform, along with positive momentum as broadcasters and sports media organizations explore the platform’s capabilities for modernizing distribution and unlocking new monetization.
Cirocast received two prestigious accolades: NAB Show Product of the Year 2026 award and Future’s Best of Show award, presented by Radio World. The NAB Show Product of the Year 2026 Award, selected by a panel of industry experts across 16 categories, further affirms the platform’s role in advancing the next generation of audio distribution infrastructure. The Radio World honor is evaluated by a panel of engineers and industry experts and selected based on innovation, feature set, perceived value and real-world application, a recognition that reflects Cirocast’s position at the intersection of broadcast reliability and cloud-native flexibility.
“NAB is honored to recognize some of the industry’s most innovative products that are shaping the future of content creation, distribution and monetization,” said Eric Trabb, SVP, Strategic Alliances and Partnerships at NAB. “Congratulations to Skyview Networks on earning the 2026 NAB Show Product of the Year Award for Cirocast — a cutting-edge solution enhancing a critical stage of the content lifecycle and helping storytellers succeed in today’s dynamic media landscape.”
During the show, Skyview Networks also demonstrated how Cirocast assembles fully mixed, market-specific audio feeds in the cloud before delivery, moving ad targeting, copy splits and content personalization upstream. The approach drew significant interest from broadcasters looking to unlock new revenue from existing programming while simplifying station infrastructure and reducing reliance on hardware-dependent distribution models.
Building on that interest, Skyview Networks has already gained early traction, bringing initial clients onto the early implementation of the Cirocast platform as it continues to roll out its feature set, including individualized affiliate feeds and expanded monetization capabilities. These early deployments reflect the impending need of audio networks in the face of C-Band regulation to modernize to cloud-based distribution solutions that offer greater flexibility without sacrificing delivery performance.
Cirocast is designed for seamless integration with the broadcast systems networks already operate. Built on Skyview Networks’ 30 years of audio technology and distribution experience, Cirocast delivers the performance, reliability and scale required by broadcast environments.
Unlike legacy satellite workflows where rigid copy splits and edge-based processing limit flexibility, Cirocast creates individualized feeds for each affiliate in real time. Those fully assembled feeds can be delivered into cloud-based automation systems, virtualized environments or existing on-premise infrastructure, all managed from Skyview’s single platform. By shifting distribution from a fixed operational cost to a scalable revenue platform, Cirocast enables monetization without sacrificing the low latency and reliability broadcasters expect from mission-critical delivery systems.
“Broadcasters at NAB were very clear about what they want next,” said Andrew Kalb, EVP, Strategic Business Operations of Skyview Networks. “They are looking for flexibility and monetization benefits without giving up the performance, reliability or confidence they associate with satellite distribution. Cirocast delivers that balance, and its early accolades demonstrate the industry’s understanding of this balance and serve as a meaningful validation of this direction for Skyview Networks and the partners we serve.”
