Kentucky's WPSD-TV upgrades news operations with assistance from Bitcentral
WPSD-TV Modernizes Operations with Bitcentral Solutions
WPSD-TV, a leading television station in Kentucky owned by Paxton Media Group, has partnered with Bitcentral to modernize its workflows and maintain its community-focused news delivery in the rapidly evolving multiplatform media environment.
Bitcentral's technology has helped WPSD-TV modernize and streamline operations by upgrading its local news workflows and playout systems for a multiplatform media environment. This modernization enables WPSD-TV to improve how it manages and distributes content across various platforms more efficiently.
Specifically, WPSD-TV deployed a variety of Bitcentral solutions that enhance the overall news production and playout process. This includes tools designed to optimize the live and recorded content delivery workflow, helping the station handle content more seamlessly across broadcast TV, digital, and other platforms in an integrated way.
To address the challenges of keeping up with the demands of the multiplatform media environment, WPSD-TV has chosen several Bitcentral solutions. It has adopted Bitcentral's Fusion Hybrid Storage (FHS) for its media library, which enables the station to support high-res video, metadata, and proxies without overwhelming its infrastructure.
Moreover, WPSD-TV has installed Bitcentral's Central Control system to overhaul and future-proof its master control operations ahead of its move to a new facility. This system offers automated feed recording, traffic system integration, and real-time monitoring, ensuring smooth operations.
To launch and manage Fast channels, WPSD-TV has opted for ViewNexa Channels by Bitcentral. This solution allows the station to efficiently distribute both live and on-demand content.
In addition, WPSD-TV has adopted Bitcentral's Core News Suite, which reimagines its news production process, enabling a more efficient workflow. This suite supports WPSD-TV's goal of positioning itself as a next-generation regional media hub and remaining competitive in the changing world of TV news.
These improvements collectively helped WPSD-TV transition into a more agile, tech-forward local news operation tailored for today's dynamic media environment. By streamlining operations across the board, including simplifying maintenance and reducing day-to-day costs, Bitcentral's technology has given WPSD-TV peace of mind, knowing it can rely on their systems and support for many years to come.
