For the upcoming tournament, the BBC is adopting a fully LED-powered virtual production environment at Dock10 in MediaCity, Salford.Tue, 09 Jun 2026 05:15:00 ESThttps://www.streamingmediaglobal.com/Articles/ReadArticle.aspx?ArticleID=175171https://www.streamingmediaglobal.com/Articles/ReadArticle.aspx?ArticleID=175171A new Accenture survey, "Reinvent for growth, the signals shaping media's next chapter" finds streaming slipping compared to social and gaming in battle for viewer eyeballs, and AI rising for production and post at diversified tech platforms.

The Web Summit conference that happened in Vancouver this week, which The Guardian dubbed "Glastonbury for geeks," served up a next-gen creator vibe in its Creative Summit typified by a panel titled "How Fandom is Transforming Entertainment" that explored how responsive fan communities are driving and defining content creation.Tue, 12 May 2026 01:10:00 ESThttps://www.streamingmediaglobal.com/Articles/ReadArticle.aspx?ArticleID=174770https://www.streamingmediaglobal.com/Articles/ReadArticle.aspx?ArticleID=174770The most important AI systems in sport may end up being the ones fans never see. Agentic AI is not flashy. Fans are unlikely to notice it directly. There will not be endless social posts about orchestration layers dynamically rerouting workflows or prioritising distribution paths.Wed, 06 May 2026 10:30:47 ESThttps://www.streamingmediaglobal.com/Articles/ReadArticle.aspx?ArticleID=174679https://www.streamingmediaglobal.com/Articles/ReadArticle.aspx?ArticleID=174679Streaming Media has been tracking the trend of vertical microdramas (aka vertical dramas), as multiple companies gain traction in the space. The subject of this Q&A, Chera TV, is hoping its unique approach of being what it calls "the first artist-owned vertical streaming platform" can entice viewers to give it a try as it introduces its dramas this spring.Wed, 06 May 2026 10:30:01 ESThttps://www.streamingmediaglobal.com/Articles/ReadArticle.aspx?ArticleID=174680https://www.streamingmediaglobal.com/Articles/ReadArticle.aspx?ArticleID=174680On Thursday, May 14, Elecard's Victoria Tuzova will moderate the Streaming Media Connect panel "Need for Speed: Ultra-Low-Latency Sports Streaming From Stadium to Screen." This panel of experts from Servers.com, Synamedia, Vindral, and Stats Perform dives into the engineering fundamentals?capture, encoding, delivery, and playback?that underpin smooth execution through the first, middle, and last miles without sacrificing quality. Learn what breaks at scale, how to prepare for and ward off disaster, and why low latency isn't just a number, but the difference between a winning broadcast and a blown opportunity.Wed, 06 May 2026 10:25:20 ESThttps://www.streamingmediaglobal.com/Articles/ReadArticle.aspx?ArticleID=174677https://www.streamingmediaglobal.com/Articles/ReadArticle.aspx?ArticleID=174677An in-depth look some developments that may have flown under the radar at NAB 2026, from the rise of differentiated agentic media solutions and workflows and the demise of SaaS to advances in audio stem separations and the industry's better-late-than-never cult of content authenticity via C2PA. Fri, 01 May 2026 01:20:00 ESThttps://www.streamingmediaglobal.com/Articles/ReadArticle.aspx?ArticleID=174640https://www.streamingmediaglobal.com/Articles/ReadArticle.aspx?ArticleID=174640I recently got back from Las Vegas after a few days at NAB. And, as always, it delivered. Big ideas, big promises and a huge amount of innovation across the show floor. But walking away from it this year, one thing is clearer than ever. Live sport is no longer short of ideas. It is short of things that actually work at scale.Tue, 28 Apr 2026 04:45:35 ESThttps://www.streamingmediaglobal.com/Articles/ReadArticle.aspx?ArticleID=174575https://www.streamingmediaglobal.com/Articles/ReadArticle.aspx?ArticleID=174575On Wednesday 13 May, Chris Pfaff, CEO, Chris Pfaff Tech Media, will moderate the Streaming Media Connect panel "Fans Forward: Creating Lean-In Engagement With Personalised, Next-Gen Sports Streaming Experiences." This panel explores how next-gen platforms deliver individualised sports experiences: customisable commentary tracks, fan-selected camera angles, in-game ecommerce, personalised graphic overlays and statistics, and even AI-generated highlight reels tailored to individual interests.Tue, 28 Apr 2026 04:40:00 ESThttps://www.streamingmediaglobal.com/Articles/ReadArticle.aspx?ArticleID=174574https://www.streamingmediaglobal.com/Articles/ReadArticle.aspx?ArticleID=174574The German Football Association (DFB) has partnered with Deltatre to launch DFB.TV+, a new direct-to-consumer streaming service that consolidates a wide range of German football content previously scattered across multiple platforms. The service, built on Deltatre's end-to-end OTT product Vesper, is scheduled to go live on 22 May, forming a central pillar of the DFB's first 24/7 pay-TV channel, DFB.TV.Mon, 27 Apr 2026 04:45:48 ESThttps://www.streamingmediaglobal.com/Articles/ReadArticle.aspx?ArticleID=174550https://www.streamingmediaglobal.com/Articles/ReadArticle.aspx?ArticleID=174550My visit to NAB 2026 skewed heavily toward talking about workflow changes with AI. I tried to keep my travels on the convention floor to very specific examples of AI's impact on streaming workflows, and this article will explore the most interesting ones I found. First up is how AMC Global Media (newly rebranded from AMC Networks)?is working with AWS to leverage AI to create better content access.Mon, 27 Apr 2026 04:40:00 ESThttps://www.streamingmediaglobal.com/Articles/ReadArticle.aspx?ArticleID=174549https://www.streamingmediaglobal.com/Articles/ReadArticle.aspx?ArticleID=174549One demo I saw at NAB 2026 covered using agents to create content. Obviously, agents need to be managed so they don't think too far outside the box. In this demo, NVIDIA talked about their control plane for a multitask agent project that helps create both a script and animated characters.Tue, 21 Apr 2026 09:40:00 ESThttps://www.streamingmediaglobal.com/Articles/ReadArticle.aspx?ArticleID=174479https://www.streamingmediaglobal.com/Articles/ReadArticle.aspx?ArticleID=174479Perhaps the booths that cropped up on my NAB 2026 itinerary and the sessions I squeezed in between simply skewed this way, but it seems like everyone's favorite sport in streaming this year is, well, sport. Certainly, when it comes to live, the pinnacle of achievement appears to be seamless delivery of premium sports events at global scale, with an eye to "meeting fans exactly where they are"?crossing national, lingual, and cultural borders via localisation, and transcending generations through autogenerated highlights and verticalised mobile delivery. And when it comes to traditional landscape sport video streamed to conventional CTV glass, multiview more than ever seems to be the name of the game in 2026.
