FreightWaves now offers clients their own customizable TV network. “Mission Control can be customized to your audience, can feature your data, and promotes your brand to as many companies and people that you want,” explained Craig Fuller, CEO of FreightWaves.
Mission Control is powered by FreightWaves SONAR data and the award-winning FreightWavesTV video platform. Mission Control delivers premium content covering all modes of transportation. Fuller said, “Mission Control merges the freight-related news and data that you and your customers need on one powerful TV platform.”
Fuller continued, “Each Mission Control client has a distinct URL that can be provided to as many internal/external audience members as you want. Mission Control provides a customizable TV feed delivered via the internet for your audience. This gives you the opportunity to drive awareness of freight market conditions while reinforcing your brand and capabilities. Mission Control will set you apart from your competitors in a unique and powerful way,” he added.
“Mission Control began as a tool to display critical SONAR data to our internal teams at FreightWaves, but it quickly became apparent that this would be a great solution to combine our amazing editorial content and unique market data,” Fuller explained. “We took that original idea and created a highly customizable product for FreightWaves clients to use throughout their organizations and with their customer audiences.”

Mission Control lets you choose the most critical insights, derived from billions of data points generated by SONAR each day, and deliver that information directly to decision-makers at your current and prospective customers. The insights and timely data and information – provided on a customized platform at just the right time – will help your customers navigate market changes. Mission Control will also keep your company top of mind when it comes to servicing their needs.
Share data and insights across your entire company
Not only can you provide Mission Control to your customers, you can use it as an internal data and information tool for your employees. You can keep your team up to speed with critical content and data. “Moreover, you can go even deeper by delivering your own data and media to your employees,” Fuller said. “They are your most important asset – and Mission Control gives them a great vehicle to keep themselves informed and to help your company.”
How Mission Control works
Starting at $2,000 a month, you can tailor your Mission Control screen to show the most relevant videos, commercials and data sets, on your own custom display. FreightWavesTV provides 8 hours of new content Monday through Friday. You have the option to choose which SONAR data sets and content from FreightWavesTV are broadcast to your customers and/or your employees.
You can add even more value by using FreightWaves’ integration tools and APIs to deliver your company’s own data and critical insights for both internal and external customers.
Your customers and employees will know more faster with Mission Control. They will receive SONAR’s timely and practical market insights, near-time market conditions as well as engaging industry information and discussions each day from FreightWavesTV. “By integrating your own datasets and media, Mission Control brings a whole new level of awareness to your company’s operations,” Fuller said. “Critical content is delivered at the just the right time in a way that is fast and easy to understand.”
Combining SONAR information with FreightWavesTV content, Mission Control provides your audience “everything freight.” Mission Control can deliver premium content covering one mode – or all modes – of transportation.
Your audience will know more, faster – thanks to you and Mission Control. They can stop operating off yesterday’s data and start making decisions based on today’s information – and because Mission Control carries your brand, there is constant reinforcement of what your company provides.
“Remember, this is your audience, receiving your data and information,” Fuller said. “They will get near-time SONAR data from the industry’s most powerful platform. Mission Control will also give them the varied programming of FreightWavesTV. Your company and your brand will be providing actionable data directly to your key customers.”
