Bitcentral CEO Fred Fourcher
Fred Fourcher, chief executive officer of Bitcentral, explains the importance of the show and why he believes the company’s asset management, playout and collaboration products represent a unique opportunity to serve a diverse group of content stakeholders in attendance. “Bitcentral has been making the broadcast industry more efficient for over 16 years,” Fourcher said. “While we have a deep heritage and competence in broadcasting, we’ve always pushed the envelope as a software tech company. Bitcentral built America’s first IP-based satellite news distribution network, is currently driving local television into the connected age as the #1 News Production System provider, and looks ahead to bridge MCNs, OTT players, and other digital producers seeking to serve hyperlocal markets with existing local TV operations infrastructure. As such, we’re committed to delivering the most advanced, intelligent and efficient solutions for evolving broadcast media that are rock solid and simply work. We’re happy to be growing and I’m delighted to be contributing to the panel at News Technology Summit, discussing important considerations for our customers as they transition in a digital ecosystem”.
Bitcentral video workflow solutions currently power over 1,000 facilities worldwide, including those at leaders Sky/Fox, Hearst, CNN, Telemundo, Scripps, and Televisa.
