Internet TV

PBS (Public Broadcasting Station) has found a way to broadcast their programming to all the different stations that will change the way the station is run. Instead of distributing their programming by using expensive satellites, they have found a way to use IT technology to stream their programming by using Internet Protocol (IP) delivery. Because most of PBS’s programming is not broadcast live, but pre-recorded, it makes it possible for them to stream over the internet. Not only is using the internet cheaper than using satellites, it also makes a lot less work for the employees who run the station. Most of the equipment used is self-monitoring and can be controlled remotely. Now they can spend less time running the equipment, and more time working on the actual program that’s going on. This is just one more example of how the industry is moving towards the internet, and away from more traditional methods of broadcasting For more info click here
