Ascent Media Group chief executive Ken Williams has predicted that there will be an upsurge in commercials finished in digital intermediate and even more growth in feature films. As a result, Ascent plans to put forward UP Satellite in the UK, a service currently available at Ascent companies in the US. UP Satellite uses Ascent's satellite capabilities to offer real-time, long-distance collaborative services for colour correction. Williams hopes that will open up Ascent services to more of Europe, plus increase transatlantic collaboration. He also told Broadcast that although organic growth in the UK was the company's main thrust, further acquisitions would not be ruled out.
