BCC Sentinel — schedule pages, not just uptime
Catch stale schedule pages before viewers do
Uptime tools only prove a URL answered. A public schedule page can still show yesterday while the stack looks green. BCC Sentinel loads the same HTML a browser would, infers the latest on-air date from what you published, and emails your team when it is not current.
Run Check now from your account any time; add optional recurring checks alongside the jobs you already run in production.

Tonight on Example TV

Last check: a few minutes ago · Signed-in users run live checks from the account dashboard.
Alert log
[12:05] check ok — latest programme date matches today (UTC).
Checks use Google Gemini to read programme dates from a capped excerpt of the page HTML your visitors would see.
How Sentinel works
URL in → freshness out → alert if stale
- 01
Add the schedule page
Paste the https URL of the on-air or listings page—the same address a browser would open for viewers.
- 02
Run checks on your schedule
Use Check now in your account whenever you want a fresh read. For always-on coverage, your team can also hook recurring checks into the automation you already trust.
- 03
We email if it is stale
We fetch the page, infer the latest programme date from the published content, and email you when it is not the current day (UTC).
Why uptime monitors miss this
A 200 OKonly proves the page loaded—not that today's listings are on it. Sentinel looks at what is actually published so ops can catch silent drift in the website schedule.
