## What is WBRZ Relay?

WBRZ Relay is the talent-facing companion to the WBRZ-LA broadcast intercom system. It connects on-air talent, field reporters, and remote crew to the station's control room over a low-latency audio bridge.                             
Sign-in is restricted to @wbrz.com Google Workspace accounts. The app is intended for WBRZ-LA staff and authorized contractors only — it has no functionality for the general public and will not sign in users outside the WBRZ Workspace.                                                                                                            

Features:                                                                                                             
  • Four IFB (interruptible foldback) channels — listen to program audio and director cues from any IFB room you're     
  routed into.                                                                                                     
  • Partyline channel with push-to-talk — hold the on-screen button to speak to the entire crew; release to listen.     
  • Video Monitor — watch the program-return feed from the station's encoder, low-latency over WebRTC.             
  • Per-channel listen toggles, independent of the partyline mic.                                                       
  • Background audio support so cues keep playing when the phone is locked or another app is in the foreground.
                                                                                                                        
Relay pairs with a station-side server installed at WBRZ that handles channel routing, talent rostering, and the audio/video bridge. The server URL is configured by station engineering; the app will not connect to arbitrary endpoints.                                                                                                            
                                                                                  
Designed for newsroom workflow: minimal UI, large hit targets for one-handed use, and a status display that makes connection issues easy to spot in a noisy field environment.
