‘Monitoring & Compliance In Broadcast’ explores how exemplary content production and delivery standards are maintained and legal obligations are met. The series includes four Themed Content Collections, each of which tackles a different area of the media supply chain.
Part 4 contains three articles which shift focus away from the leading edge of multi-platform delivery to the traditional technology of OTA broadcast. Estimates vary considerably by source but anywhere between 15% of audiences in the USA to 70% in parts of Europe, consume their content via OTA broadcast. High-power RF technology remains critical infrastructure. Keeping it reliable is still central to audience QoE and compliance is mandatory… effective strategies for monitoring are key.
