Other industries have been using the cloud for years, but broadcasters have been reluctant to embrace it—until COVID-19 forced the issue of enabling remote work. Still, it’s an uneasy embrace, and misconceptions about and mistrust of the cloud still linger in the industry.
In this episode, we ask: Are attitudes toward the cloud finally shifting? Where is—and where isn’t—cloud feasible for broadcast workflows? What fundamental misunderstandings still need to be cleared up? And how can leaders who see the promise of the cloud get started?
