That would be the best. The broadcast is live I presume, and you'd be taking it off their main board, correct? If so it's trivial to send one feed to the broadcast and another to the webcast with any decent board. The content to place in the commerical area is then in the power of the director/ad manager for the show, not you (probably best). In this way the entire show is webcast and you don't have to do anything with switching from live to flash, etc. You might also want to take a look at Windows Media Encoder/SDK. The encoder allows for multi-source streaming - you could have the live broadcast on one source and your web commercials on others. This is still manual, but you may be able to to automate it with the SDK - the problem there will be how to automate it properly (for commericals on news don't always occur at exactly the same moment - you'd need some way for the system to recognize when the show faded to commerical). All told it's easiest, by far, to let the current master control crew determine what goes out.
