Tim Santhouse, Reuters' Global Head of Video Products, said: "We're delighted that such a broad range of broadcasters – large and small, public and commercial – have taken up the service, letting them focus on covering the story while we take care of the operational side, including technical and local knowledge."

Alla Salehian, CEO of TIMA, said: "With strategically placed broadcast and satellite resources in regional hubs around the world, we're able to respond quickly to breaking news. Since our partnership launch, the last two months have been exciting and fast-paced, responding to important global stories and working with key broadcasters."
