Becktv and TEGNA Media Collaborate in Relocating Seattle Stations to New Broadcast Facilities in Popular Sodo Area Agency Contact: BeckTV Contact: Elisabetta Fernandez Kelly Bell Landgraf Wall Street Communications Corporate Office Manager Tel: +1 (503) 577-3125 Tel: +1 (512) 252-7555 Email: [email protected] Email: [email protected] Photo Links: www.wallstcom.com/BeckTV/BeckTV_KING5-First-Air-BTS-Jerry-and-Lois.jpg www.wallstcom.com/BeckTV/BeckTV-King5_News_Studio.jpg Photo Caption: King-5 News Studio For Immediate Release BeckTV and TEGNA Media Collaborate in Relocating Seattle Stations to New Broadcast Facilities in Popular SoDo Area AUSTIN, Texas — Aug. 9, 2016 — BeckTV, one of the United States’ premier design-build systems integrators, has completed the relocation of the TEGNA Media-owned stations KING, KONG, and 24-hour regional news channel Northwest Cable News (NWCN) to a newly remodeled building located across town in Seattle’s SoDo neighborhood and adjacent to the home fields of the city’s Major League Baseball and National Football League teams, the Mariners and Seahawks. Collaborating with TEGNA Media on the design and build of broadcast facilities within “Home Plate Center,” BeckTV assisted with programming, space planning, broadcast system design, broadcast budget development, and system integration to enable a rapid transition to more robust and innovative facilities. “Working closely with BeckTV, we designed and built our robust, flexible technical TV facilities ahead of schedule and smoothly cut our broadcast channels over to the beautifully designed new SoDo space two weeks earlier than originally planned,” said Dick Trumbo, technology manager at KING5. “BeckTV not only aided us in negotiating the complexity of busy production schedules and in establishing a floor plan conducive to better collaboration and greater efficiency, but also saved us time and money in moving from our old building.” From its highly visible position near popular sports and social gathering venues, Home Plate Center transmits three primary master control channels including the No. 1 local news station KING5, the NBC duopoly station KONG16, and NWCN, as well as a subchannel to KING on over the air channel 5.2 and two other local commercial insert split-off channels for KING and More… KONG. Pedestrians walking by Home Plate Center can see into live newscasts from the street corner, where a ballistic window gives a behind-the-scenes live look into the main news studio. News production across the three primary channels amounts to more than 18 hours of daily news content and is supported by two primary studios, as well as a free-floating third news desk “studio” on the second floor newsroom. The facility also boasts two identical and interchangeable production control rooms, a feed coordination console, and four flash camera positions. BeckTV installed 65 miles worth of cabling within the new facility along with integrated equipment including an Evertz EQX router (288x252 with all HD-SDI sources) that is connected directly to multiviewing processors through high-density X-Link connections. BeckTV installed the master control air path using Grass Valley stand-alone and Densite frame components for subrouting, master control switching, monitoring, and audio processing. Crispin automation drives the five master control playlists using Grass Valley K2 Summit content playout servers. The production control room uses Sony ELC automation and a Sony MVS-6530 production switcher to produce an automated news product. Graphics are provided by Grass Valley Vertigo XGs and an Abekas Tria for clip playout. An IHSE Draco Tera KVM matrix gives production teams access from nearly every production seat. “The success of this project and of our ongoing relationship with TEGNA Media stems from our shared commitment to efficient design and technical pioneering — while staying on budget and on time,” said Brendan Cline, project engineer at BeckTV. “Taking advantage of cutting-edge technical solutions in an intelligent manner, the new Home Plate Center facility gives TEGNA Media the tools to create exceptional broadcast content from a hip, high-profile location that reinforces brand awareness and loyalty.” Further information about BeckTV is available at www.becktv.com. # # # About BeckTV BeckTV (formerly Beck Associates) is one of the United States’ premier design-build systems integrators.

  • Programmer Tyingiproblem Examples
    Programmer TyingIProblem Examples KGW (Portland Channel 8-Local NBC affiliate) retransmission negotiations- they required Canby Telephone Association, dba Canby Telcom ("Canby") to take NBC Weather Plus (along with Northwest Cable News which Canby Telcom already carried). Canby did not need nor did Canby want another weather channel. NFL Network required that if Canby took their programming package, we had to put it on our basic tier and not on a different tier, such as a sports tier. Canby could not afford the cost of paying for all of our subscribers and asked to be allowed to put it on a tier for which we could charge for those that wanted the NFL Network, in order to cover the additional cost. NFL Network refused to negotiate or return Canby's calls. Comcast SportsNet- has acquired the rights to broadcast the majority of the NBA Portland Trailblazer games. As with the NFL Network, Comcast also required that Canby put their channel on our basic tier (excluding lifeline) and would not negotiate to allow us to put their programming on a sports tier, where we could charge those who wanted to view the NBA games. They would not negotiate with Canby. In both the NFL and Comcast SportsNet situations Canby wanted to add these channels, but Canby could not afford to pay for this programming as an additional expense within the basic tier, nor could Canby justify increasing rates to all customers to cover the added cost, whether the customer wanted the sports programming or not. We had hoped to provide choice to our customers.

  • 2011 State of the News Media Report
    Overview By Tom Rosenstiel and Amy Mitchell of the Project for Excellence in Journalism By several measures, the state of the American news media improved in 2010. After two dreadful years, most sectors of the industry saw revenue begin to recover. With some notable exceptions, cutbacks in newsrooms eased. And while still more talk than action, some experiments with new revenue models began to show signs of blossoming. Among the major sectors, only newspapers suffered continued revenue declines last year—an unmistakable sign that the structural economic problems facing newspapers are more severe than those of other media. When the final tallies are in, we estimate 1,000 to 1,500 more newsroom jobs will have been lost—meaning newspaper newsrooms are 30% smaller than in 2000. Beneath all this, however, a more fundamental challenge to journalism became clearer in the last year. The biggest issue ahead may not be lack of audience or even lack of new revenue experiments. It may be that in the digital realm the news industry is no longer in control of its own future. News organizations — old and new — still produce most of the content audiences consume. But each technological advance has added a new layer of complexity—and a new set of players—in connecting that content to consumers and advertisers. In the digital space, the organizations that produce the news increasingly rely on independent networks to sell their ads. They depend on aggregators (such as Google) and social networks (such as Facebook) to bring them a substantial portion of their audience. And now, as news consumption becomes more mobile, news companies must follow the rules of device makers (such as Apple) and software developers (Google again) to deliver their content.

  • Comcast 2008 Annual Report – Final.Doc
    Report to the Clark County Board of Commissioners And Vancouver City Council From the City/County Telecommunications Commission PROGRESS REPORT ON THE COMCAST CORPORATION VANCOUVER/CLARK COUNTY FRANCHISE AGREEMENT May 2009 I. INTRODUCTION - BACKGROUND This is the Twenty-Seventh Annual Report by the Vancouver/Clark County Telecommunications Commission ("Commission") reviewing the status of the franchise agreement with the cable television operator, TCI of Southern Washington ("TCI"), doing business as Comcast Corporation (“Comcast”). This is the twelfth Annual Report since a 10-year franchise agreement with TCI, now Comcast, was adopted in November 1997. In June 2002, the City of Vancouver (“City”) and Clark County (“County”) extended the franchise agreements with Comcast an additional 5-years, through December 31, 2012. The 2008 Annual Report is consistent with the format for the previous evaluations of the cable operator's performance (1981-1986 Cox Cable; June 1986-1995 Columbia Cable; December 1995-1998 TCI; 1999-February 2003 AT&T Broadband; and now Comcast Corporation). The Commission's review focuses on the calendar year 2008 although, as appropriate, more recent developments and issues are noted. The Commission recognizes the importance of conducting annual reviews – not only as a franchise obligation, but also in light of changes in the marketplace, population growth in the Vancouver and Clark County area and the requirements of the Federal Cable Act to give an operator the opportunity to correct any franchise violations. The Commission understands that as a citizen advisory board it is responsible for the efficient and effective management and enforcement of the franchise. In addition, one of the most effective roles of the Commission through the years has been to inform various stakeholders – from the cable operator, to PEG access providers, to elected officials – about the needs and issues of interest to the community.
