Broadcast Central is a boutique consulting practice for media houses building, transforming or outsourcing their broadcast workflows.
We assess what you run, specify what you should run, and help you choose the partners who build it.
We review the path from venue to base and tell you where it breaks, before a live date does.
Most teams buy each stage from a different supplier, then discover the gaps at the handover. We hold the whole path in view, so a decision taken in production still makes sense at distribution.
We advise on remote and REMI production models, venue requirements and the crew each model actually needs.
We review venue to base transport over fiber, satellite and managed internet, and specify the path diversity to buy.
We define transcode, packaging, subtitling and enrichment requirements for OTT and linear, on premises or in cloud.
We assess channel origination, master control operations and the disaster recovery model that sits behind both.
We evaluate delivery to affiliates, platforms and viewers over fiber, satellite and CDN, commercials included.
Boutique means the person who scopes the work is the person who does it. No pyramid, no handover to a team you have not met, no product to steer you toward.
Two to four weeks. We map the workflow as it exists, not as the architecture diagram claims.
Four to eight weeks. A target architecture with a business case attached, ready to put in front of procurement.
Ongoing. Your team and your chosen providers do the building. We make sure what arrives is what was specified.
Thirty minutes on your current workflow. We tell you where the risk sits and what we would look at first. No deck, no platform pitch, no obligation.
