For Athletic Directors, Principals and Media Teachers
Meet Coach Grinkler
Our first AI spokesperson, and yes, he is an AI. His first video is on its way. His one job is to get your school to build its own student-run livestream and broadcast program. The real help starts now, with a free plan for your school.
A coach with a lot of stories about 1986
Coach Grinkler coaches the Platypus Predators, in his own telling the team that almost won every state championship back in '86.
His first video is on its way, and he has opinions about student-run broadcasting.
Which level fits your budget?
About how much could your school put toward video and audio equipment?
One question, not the whole plan. You can build the full plan afterward.

What you get for about twelve minutes
A plan preview on the spot
The equipment level that fits your budget, shown as soon as you finish. Free.
How ready your school is
What help fits your team, and anything to fix before you spend money.
Notes on the events you picked
From show licensing to captioning rules, for football, theatre, graduation and the rest.
The outline of the full Blueprint
Equipment list, set-up guides for your events, a guide for every crew role, a 12-week launch timeline and a Sponsor Kit.
Students run it. We build it.
Next Day Videos designs the program, specifies the equipment, installs it and trains your students, then steps back. Your students run the production, the editing and the whole pipeline, for every event on your calendar and not only the games.
We do not stream your games for you. That is the point: a program your students own lasts longer, teaches skills that transfer to real jobs, and leaves the school in control of how it is seen.
The how-to guide and an overview of the three budget levels are free on this site. The named gear, in buying order, is in the Program Blueprint.
Meet B.P., our on-air talent
B.P. is the voice on our livestreams, and a big reason to choose us. He brings his training and real energy and enthusiasm to every high school livestream, and over many seasons he has shown a knack for catching the moments that are unique and memorable.
He takes on every on-air task, and he mentors and interviews students while the stream is running, so your students learn on the air from someone who does it.
What schools ask first
Who is Coach Grinkler?
A virtual spokesperson, made with AI. He is a character, not a coach on our staff. The person behind Next Day Videos is a Jacksonville broadcast veteran who has been producing video since 1997.
Do you livestream our games for us?
No. We build a program your students run: design, equipment list, install, training, and a few early streams to work out the wrinkles. Then students take over.
Who buys the equipment?
The school, in the normal case. We specify what to buy rather than selling it to you, and the plan preview shows the level that fits your budget.
Is the plan preview really free?
Yes. About twelve minutes of questions about your school, and the preview appears right away. Your answers save as you go, so you can stop and come back.
Who at the school usually signs off?
The athletic director and the principal. A media or journalism teacher or a booster club often starts the conversation, and the plan is written so it can be handed up to them.
Start with the free plan preview
Twelve minutes, no obligation, and the preview shows you what a program would take before anyone asks for money. Prefer to talk it through? Book a call instead.
Sell to schools?
We are planning a directory of suppliers for school broadcast programs: livestreaming companies, and the equipment, gear and services schools need. If that is you, tell us what you offer and we will be in touch when it opens.
