RADIO
gile TV, United Teleports and BNS have announced a new fully managed TV service to address the limitations of existing video services and the needs of North American network operators who want to provide more value for their customers.

revenue from video services to offset capital and operational costs as the rise of vMVPDs and OTT services erodes market share. The Agile TV service offers the perfect combination of innovation, service management and shared risk so network operators can continue to deliver competitive and regionalised video services without the burden of having to finance and maintain complex pay TV systems.

Working with integrators Applied Electronics and Calrec’s Canadian partner True North AV, the installation was designed to meet the college’s exact needs. Applied Electronics installed Type R mix environments in four on-air broadcast studios and 18 individual recording booths.
