Viaplay Moves Free-To-Air Channels To Encompass Scheduling Platform
Viaplay has migrated several of its free-to-air channels to Encompass Digital Media's Altitude Scheduling platform as part of a wider effort to modernise its scheduling operations.
The migration covers TV3, TV6, TV8 and TV10 and will see Viaplay use Encompass’s managed Scheduling-as-a-Service offering to support scheduling across the channels.
Altitude Scheduling combines cloud-based automation and scheduling technology from Op2mise.ai with specialist scheduling services provided through Encompass’s centralised media operations centre in Riga, Latvia.
The move comes as broadcasters face increasingly complex scheduling requirements resulting from the distribution of content across linear television, streaming, FAST and on-demand platforms.
These operations can involve managing programme changes, content rights, regional variations, metadata and advertising requirements, alongside different delivery workflows for individual platforms.
Viaplay selected Altitude Scheduling to help manage these processes and improve the efficiency of its scheduling operations.
The company has now completed the migration of the free-to-air channels as part of its ongoing strategy to update scheduling operations across its portfolio.
