GB News will be making use of Red Bee Media’s cloud-based software-only Managed Playout Service for its launch.
GB News will launch on Red Bee Media’s cloud-based software-only Managed Playout Service.
Red Bee will manage the playout of all of GB News’ broadcasts, making sure that 6500 hours-a-year of content will reach homes across the UK.
The software-only playout service was introduced in 2018 and runs on the company’s hybrid cloud platform. It allows rapid configuration and deployment of new TV services, and enables greater workflow visibility and increased possibilities for collaboration.
GB News is set to launch later this year, and and aims to compete with the likes of the BBC and Sky News.
CEO at GB News, Angelos Frangopoulos, said: “With Red Bee’s skilled playout staff and state-of-the-art platform at our disposal, we can focus on our coverage, while we rest assured our broadcasts reach our audiences across the UK.”
Steve Nylund, CEO of Red Bee, added: “As they enter the UK broadcasting space, our cloud-based software-only playout deployment will afford GB News the flexibility to expand and transform at the pace of the media landscape.”
