From bedroom studios to satellite-distributed broadcast networks, Riverbend Live gives every producer the infrastructure that used to require a six-figure budget.
The station, entry by entry.
How Riverbend Live came to be, logged the way we log a show: what came in, from where, and what it means.
- Mark: 20+ yrs agoSource: CE-NET
Continuing ed on the air
Continuing-education livestreams, broadcast nationwide. We have been powering them for 20+ years, and we still are.

Fault logged: creators priced out
Riverbend Live was born out of frustration — watching talented creators get priced out of professional streaming tools, or tangled in clunky platforms never designed for live events.
- Mark: StandingSource: Desk
Mission: streaming without barriers
Professional live video infrastructure used to cost tens of thousands of dollars and months of engineering effort. We set out to give every creator, educator, and event organizer access to the same tools, at a fraction of the cost and complexity.

Satellite acquisition
Broadcast feeds come in too: we acquire your C-Band or Ku-Band feed, transcode it to adaptive HLS, and stream it to any device. No receiver required.
- Mark: On airSource: RTMP
Built for creators
RTMP ingest from OBS, Streamlabs, or any hardware encoder. HLS CDN delivery with instant playback URLs — no ops headache, no server to manage.

Multi-tenant platform
Each producer gets their own space, vanity slug URL, and fully branded event pages. Share riverbend.live/yourname with your audience — clean, professional, yours.
- Mark: On airSource: Chat
Real-time everything
Live chat, Q&A mode, polls, floating emoji reactions, and live viewer counts — all built in, no third-party embeds required.
- Mark: TodaySource: Crew
Crew on shift
A small team of engineers and event producers based in the United States, obsessed with making video infrastructure feel simple. We use the platform ourselves for real events, so every fix and every feature comes from lived experience on both sides of the stream.

Independent. Self-funded.
Focused on building something genuinely useful rather than chasing metrics. If you have feedback, we actually read it.
Proof on the meters.
The numbers we stand behind, read straight off the board.
