About the live broadcast ecosystem
How organizations exchange information, place orders and coordinate delivery — from rights owners to production teams and delivery partners. The arrows show coordination, rather than video signal paths.
Broadcasters can use in-house delivery, external delivery partners, or a combination of both.
LiveAnchor connects the event work across these teams. It is developed by West Media Systems, working with broadcast and media companies since 2004.
Select an actor to focus on its connections. Dark blue = selected actor.
