Omnibus win £500,000 order from TWC

Omnibus Systems have received an order worth more than half a million pounds to provide news automation, media / asset management and playout solutions at an eighth Time Warner Cable (TWC) 24-hour news channel.
The station, TWC’s first local news operation in the American Midwest, is scheduled to go to air in the summer of 2004 with technologies developed by OmniBus and Time Warner Cable. The first deployment of this technology was earlier this year at NY1 News, the companies’ flagship station in New York.
“Placing this order so far in advance of the project shows tremendous commitment from Time Warner Cable to the continued use of OmniBus as its provider of technical infrastructure and operational facilities at its local cable news centres across the US,” said David Parry-Jones, OmniBus’ group executive, global sales.
