💡 'Re-Classifying Broadcast: A New Era of Media' 💡 Our Product Manager, Benjamin Shirley makes a strong case that the industry needs to reframe its thinking to see traditional linear TV and the various categories of streaming as a single classification in order to better the future of broadcasting. Areas of discussion: 🟡 Ushering in the new era of media 🟡 How can we reclassify broadcast for good? 🟡 Driving forward innovation with a new approach to content 🟡 Uniting traditional broadcast and streaming 🟡 How MainConcept is providing the technology for change Benjamin mentions: "So, despite their growth, how do we really define FAST in the future, as it’s not really a real thing, it’s a buzz word like 'channel in a box’ was. Instead, they are using new tech to stand up a channel and pay for it/grow revenue by delivering targeted ads. It’s more a business model than a physical thing, I feel."
