Dan McDonnell, CEO of outside broadcasts, post-production and studios provider Timeline, joins Timeline head of operations Dave Harnett to talk to Broadcast Tech reporter Max Miller about the company’s recent expansion in Ealing.

It has opened a 9,700 sq ft broadcast facility specifically designed for remote productions, and including a 2,000 sq ft virtual studio space.

McDonnell and Harnett explain the thinking behind the facility, and how it’s been designed to complement the company’s existing range of live production services.

They also discuss the future of live production, sustainability in production and the possibilities opened up by virtual studios.

The podcast also covers the impact on the outside broadcast industry of the collapse of Arena TV, and why Timeline are continuing to invest in outside broadcast trucks despite the huge growth in remote production over the last few years.
