Bal Samra Managing Director, BBC
Canal+ Overseas

As a leader in the edition and the distribution of premium and thematic channels in France, our core focus is on producing and programming quality content for our customers. We therefore need a partner, which demonstrates expertise and we can rely on, to manage efficiently ingest, technical production and playout for the 22 core channels we edit. Ericsson’s expertise both in the broadcasting and the managed services allows us to deliver premium quality services to our subscribers.

Jacques du Puy President and GM, Canal+ International
MTV

We have selected Red Bee as a strategic partner because the company is a strong international player that has invested heavily in the TV industry. Our decision is also based on the success of a similar collaboration between TV4 – another Bonnier Group subsidiary – and Red Bee in Sweden for the past five years.

Heikki Rotko COO, MTV

Working with Red Bee was essential for successfully launching TV5MONDEplus. With Red Bee Media’s OTT platform, we got access to first-class streaming and broadcasting expertise, as well as crucial features such as advanced advertising tech and geo-blocking functionality. This allows us to offer a high-end user-experience comparable to the biggest streaming services available. We are looking forward to continuing this cooperation, developing TVMONDEplus for the benefit of global audiences.

Hélène Zemmour Digital Director, TV5MONDE
France 24

The transition to HD was a unique opportunity to implement new workflows leveraging state-of-the-art production automation systems to increase productivity and control over the channel content.

Bruno Tezenas du Montcel CTO, France24

Red Bee has a huge role to play because it is about technology, not for technology sake, but for enabling us to put more on screen.

Jamie Hindhaugh COO, BT Sport
ITV

Red Bee provided a skilled and safe hand throughout the whole tournament, with exemplary and flawless delivery of complex mission critical services, enabling us to deliver the highest quality live sports broadcasts, with many memorable moments from the rugby pitches in Japan. The planning and execution were done with a great attention to detail and we could rest assured that nothing was left to chance.

Helen Stevens Operations Officer, ITV
Channel 4

Red Bee have been a key partner for many years and we are delighted to be renewing our Playout and Access Services relationship.
