Channel’s Los Angeles production studio uses virtual screening room
technology to share content securely with global client base.

LOS
ANGELES— Los Angeles-based The Africa Channel is currently
using WCPMedia Services’ cloud-based media management platform in marketing
content to broadcasters, streaming services and other distribution outlets
worldwide.

The Africa Channel recently launched a production arm, TAC
Studios, to produce original lifestyle programming about contemporary African
life, and to market its existing library of premium content. The WCPMedia
Services platform allows TAC Studios to set up secure virtual screening rooms
to share content with current and potential customers.

“Our customers are able to log in and enjoy a high-quality
experience on their desktop, tablet or mobile device,” explains Bill Admans,
technology consultant to TAC Studios. “The quality is equivalent to watching
shows on a streaming service, for example.”

TAC Studios’ clients include broadcasters, streaming
services and VOD operators in Africa, Europe, Australia and the United States.
Its current lineup of programming includes the lifestyle series Africa Everywhere, the food show Africa on a Plate and the adventure
reality series First Time Africa.

Admans says that TAC Studios selected the WCPMedia Services
platform because its intuitive design made it easy to deploy and operate.
“Setting up screening rooms to match the individual needs of our customers is
fast, efficient and easy,” Admans notes. “We can upload shows and the
associated metadata quickly, and without overburdening our resources.

The platforms Swiss bank level security was another
essential ingredient. “It’s a secure screening environment,” Admans says. “We
can feel comfortable sharing our content. The platform gives us full control
over our marketing. We know who is viewing our content, where and when.”

Admans adds that WCPMedia Services also provides responsive
training and support. “WCPMedia has been very responsive in helping us
determine our needs and in training our staff,” he says. “As an operation with
customers around the world, we also needed a partner who can support us 24/7.”
