SES Delivers Video Services for BBC Studios
SES will provide
playout, content processing, distribution, and VOD services, delivering BBCS
and UKTV content to a network of affiliates globally and in the UK. These services will be based on
SES’s European global delivery services with technical playout infrastructure provided
from SES’s new Stockley Park facility in London and with SES’s Munich playout
facility overseeing operational management.
BBCS is the
commercial production and distribution arm of the BBC, crafting over 2,500
hours of content every year. BBCS is focused on promoting the creative talent
of the BBC and the UK internationally and operates a global content
distribution and branded services business. UKTV is a wholly owned subsidiary
of BBCS. It has been at the forefront of UK branded television for over 25
years and its channels span comedy, entertainment, natural history, factual and
drama. The broadcaster is a significant investor in British creativity and is
committed to working with new and established writers, directors and
programme-makers.
SES has
been awarded the multi-year contract after responding to a BBCS and UKTV RFP where
its service offering aligned with the BBCS and UKTV performance, business and
commercial requirements. The new deal also builds on BBCS and UKTV’s desire for
cloud innovation in the media industry.
“Our UK and
global audiences and advertisers expect seamlessly delivered high-quality
services, and in the transforming world of broadcast we need flexibility and
responsiveness to meet ever changing audience demands. By selecting SES, we
believe we have found a partner that is committed to delivering innovation and can
meet our business needs going into the future,” said Marcus Arthur, President
UK, Ireland BBC Studios & CEO UKTV.
“We are
truly excited to be delivering a complete set of video services to BBCS,” said Steve
Collar, CEO of SES. “Our London and Munich service delivery approach is specially
crafted so that broadcasters and production houses like BBCS and UKTV can focus
on producing great content while we take care of the content preparation,
playout and delivery. This dual facility approach
is fundamental to our success in ensuring that we have always-on fully
backed-up content delivery services and will enable us to provide the highest
quality of service for BBCS.”
