Greater London Authority
Bow Tie television is the contractor for the Greater London Authority to produce
and televise live broadcast quality coverage of pre-selected
committee and Mayoral meetings within the head offices of City
Hall, Southbank in London. These meetings are distributed live
every day over fibre circuits to TV broadcasters, over IP networks
for webcasting and RF distribution for local in house
monitoring.
City Hall TV simultaneously takes a feed of the coverage for its
own purposes, this includes the ability for their employees to
access and monitor the coverage from their own desktop PCs.
Bow Tie television webcast meetings using
Windows Media and delivers to our CDNs. The webcasts can be viewed
on the GLA website at http://www.london.gov.uk/
Captioning
A provision to enhance this coverage with the insertion of live
captions that contain information relating to the coverage of any
particular meeting was a recent requirement placed upon Bow
Tie television. This included the design, procurement,
installation and ongoing service for the duration of the contract.
This was successfully completed in June 2009.
