Your newsroom never stops.​

6am. The overnight producer has just handed over. Three stories have moved in the last twenty minutes. The presenter is in makeup asking what’s leading. The editor is reordering the rundown on the fly. That’s not a crisis. That’s Tuesday.

 

 

AP ENPS is built for exactly that – the ordinary pressure of a broadcast newsroom running at full speed. 65,000 professionals use it every day because when the rundown changes at the last minute and the show is live, it holds. It doesn’t freeze. It doesn’t lose the edit. It just works.

 

And in a broadcast newsroom, that’s everything.

Trusted by newsrooms around the world

Global newsrooms rely on AP ENPS to run their daily production – from major broadcasters to teams currently working out of spreadsheets and workarounds. Whatever your starting point, we help you scale. You’ll be in good company

AP ENPS is the first system we've seen which realizes the promise of newsroom systems. It really does provide integration functions, and it does so with a strikingly simple user interface. With its open standards, AP ENPS gives us a roadmap to a future in which we must process increasingly large flows of information and data with a small staff.

Built for how broadcast actually works

Your newsroom, your infrastructure. 
As one of the world’s most trusted news organisations, we’ve built deployment flexibility into our solutions. We truly understand what it actually means to depend on your own systems.

Rundown management that keeps up with the show.

Stories move. Rundowns change. Presenters ask questions mid-bulletin. AP ENPS keeps every producer, every editor and every journalist looking at the same information — updated in real time, no refresh needed. When the show changes, everyone knows

130+ integration partners and counting.

Wire services, MAMs, graphics systems, automation, social — AP ENPS connects with the systems your newsroom already runs. Your workflow stays intact. Your team doesn't re-learn their job. If it's part of how you broadcast, there's a good chance it already connects.

Cloud, hybrid or on-prem - your newsroom, your choice.

Not every newsroom is ready to go fully cloud. Not every organisation can. AP ENPS deploys the way your infrastructure requires — cloud, on-premises or hybrid. Your data residency requirements, your IT constraints, your call.

Enterprise security and access management.

SSO via Active Directory, Azure AD, Okta and Google. Role-based access configurable by desk, team and content type. Full audit trails. User management that scales across large, complex organisations without creating an IT headache.

Technology that shaped the industry

AP ENPS has received two Technology and Engineering Emmy® Awards. 

The first recognised AP’s role in developing the Media Object Server (MOS) protocol, the integration standard that allows newsroom systems, graphics, automation and playout to communicate. 

The second recognised AP ENPS for innovation and excellence in newsroom computer systems used or broadcast production.

Helping you modernize without disruption

The rest of your newsroom covered

 

AP Storytelling is AP’s story-centric workflow platform — built on the same backbone as ENPS, designed to bring the whole newsroom into one place.

Workflow change is as much cultural as it is technical. We know that. 

 

Reporters, editors, digital and broadcast teams all work from the same central system when the time is right. Directors and control room staff who know ENPS work from the interface they already know — same rundown, same data, no learning curve.

There’s no pressure to change how your newsroom operates overnight. AP Storytelling is there when you’re ready to move story-first — fully browser-based, fully cloud-native, at your pace. One platform.

 

The whole newsroom working together. When you’re ready.

Questions we get asked

Pricing is based on the number of workstations — the devices your team uses to access ENPS. Every newsroom is different, so we work with you to figure out exactly what you need rather than fitting you into a standard package.

They share the same platform backbone. Broadcast teams work in the ENPS interface they already know. Everyone else works story-first in AP Storytelling. The two stay in sync — same rundown, same data, no duplication. They can run together or independently depending on how your organisation is structured.

It depends on your infrastructure and integration requirements. Our implementation team works with your technical and editorial leads from day one. Most newsrooms are operational well within the agreed timeline.

It means someone answers when you call – at 2am on a Saturday before a major bulletin. AP support operates globally, across time zones, around the clock.


Simpler license management, easier renewals and no hardware dependency. And if the server-to-cloud connection is ever lost, the system keeps running — continuous functionality is built in.
