NEW YORK—Sinclair Broadcast Group has inked a deal with Amagi to migrate on-premise playout of its local broadcast stations to the cloud. Sinclair says the deployment is designed to the broadcast group optimize its media operations, enhance business agility, and significantly reduce the risk of maintaining its legacy on-premise systems.
"For Sinclair and its stations, we needed a platform that would align with our vision for transformation in our media operations," said Mike Kralec, Senior Vice President and Chief Technology Officer at Sinclair. "We've successfully partnered with Amagi in the past and their proven track record of deploying playout systems in the cloud, along with our combined success in deploying proof-of-concept and test environments, demonstrated their ability to be that transformational platform for us. We're beyond happy to work with them as we get this new playout environment underway."
