Do TV channels use OBS?

Here are a few steps you can take to tackle the task of creating and starting your very own TV network:

  3. Announce your channel.
  4. Generate a paycheck.

What can OBS broadcast to?

OBS can only stream to servers. It does not provide any services for playback, whether in a browser or otherwise. You can stream to your own private server, sure, but you would have to set that up and set up a site where the stream can be played back on, since OBS does not provide those things.
