News Summary:

On September 10, 2026, Quickplay unveiled its Engagement Quality Score (EQS) intelligence layer, a new workflow-embedded tool designed to assign a real-time quantifiable value score to content assets and moments. This aims to help media companies monetize their existing streaming catalogs and unlock greater audience impact. Previously, on September 8, Quickplay launched Live Operations, a cloud-native centralized management control plane for managing live broadcast and OTT channels. This system allows operators to control scheduling, signal control, ad decisioning, clip production, and monitoring from a single console. This follows the company's September 4 partnership with Gray Media, through which Quickplay deployed a next-generation streaming platform. This platform unifies 1300 digital touchpoints across 117 television markets onto a single cloud-native operating system for Gray Media.
