GB News Launch With Red Bee Media Playout
Software defined playout.
New channel GB News will launch on Red Bee Media’s cloud-based Managed Playout Service. Red Bee will also manage the playout of all GB News’ broadcasts.
Red Bee’s 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, creating opportunities for customers like GB News to launch new channels and features. The platform also enables greater workflow visibility and increased possibilities for collaboration.
“Red Bee is a highly experienced and innovative services provider, with a strong legacy in British and international broadcasting. We are delighted to have them on board,” says Angelos Frangopoulos, CEO at GB News. “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.”
“Having delivered managed services to the biggest broadcasters in the UK for the past 15 years, we are well equipped for launching GB News,” says Steve Nylund, CEO, Red Bee Media. “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.”
GB News will launch later this year.
