Kentucky's WPSD-TV updates local news operations with Bitcentral's modern technology
WPSD-TV Modernizes Operations with Bitcentral's Solutions
WPSD-TV, a leading television station in Kentucky owned by Paxton Media Group (PMG), has partnered with Bitcentral to modernize its workflows and maintain its community-focused news delivery. The partnership has brought numerous benefits, enabling the station to stay ahead of the curve and innovate with purpose [1].
One of the key solutions provided by Bitcentral is the ViewNexa Channels system. This solution has empowered WPSD-TV to launch and manage Free Ad-Supported Streaming Television (FAST) channels, efficiently distributing both live and on-demand content across multiple platforms.
Another significant advantage is the Core News Suite. This system has reimagined WPSD-TV's news production process by enabling a "produce once, publish many" workflow. This allows the team to maximize every story’s reach across various platforms without duplicating efforts.
To support high-resolution video, metadata, and proxies, WPSD-TV has adopted Bitcentral's Fusion Hybrid Storage (FHS). This scalable storage solution ensures that the station's infrastructure is not overwhelmed.
To overhaul and future-proof master control operations, WPSD-TV installed Bitcentral's Central Control system. This system offers automated feed recording, integration with traffic systems, and real-time monitoring — essential for operational efficiency and reliability.
The partnership with Bitcentral has also brought operational streamlining across the board. Maintenance has been simplified, and day-to-day costs have been reduced. As a result, WPSD-TV is better-equipped to meet the demands of a fast-moving multiplatform media world.
With Bitcentral's technology, WPSD-TV is in a strong position to explore new ways to grow and monetize its content. The station is delivering outstanding local news and storytelling to its community more efficiently than ever before.
