The Challenge
Maximum Coordination to Minimize Downtime
Colorado Springs, Colorado was the location chosen for the development of the Broadcast Operations Center (BOC). The BOC needed to allow both local personnel and staff out at the edge the ability to control in-market systems and shared fixed resources.
This cross-functionality would be required to allow better management of live segments, breaking news coverage, and staffing challenges at any location. Such flexibility would mean a sophisticated “handshaking” of monitoring and control systems be deployed and continually managed to ensure optimal service uptime. This would also require a secure IP interface to NPG’s IT Core in Missouri.
This multilocational focus would require strict technical and logistical coordination, plus operator training for an entirely new way to work.
