The invention relates to a cableway broadcast system and method, and belongs to the technical field of cableway. The intelligent broadcast system comprises a host station and intelligent terminals. The intelligent terminals are installed on cableway cars. The host station transmits a control instruction to control the intelligent terminals. The monitoring data of the intelligent terminals are received and the state of the cars is monitored. The intelligent terminals automatically perform location broadcasting based on the car position in operation of the cableway. On-demand playing and frequency modulation broadcasting can be realized according to the control of the host station. Monitoring of the operation situation of the cars can be realized, and the position-based automatic voice broadcasting, voice broadcasting of the specified broadcasting content and emergency frequency modulation broadcasting can be realized so that the passengers in the cars are enabled to know the situation in time and take the proper countermeasures to avoid unnecessary panic, and the operation stability and the safety of the passengers can be greatly enhanced.
