BBC, London 2012 Power Public Space Signage Network Capital Networks Software

The BBC, London 2012 and UK local town councils have chosen Capital Networks' Audience software platform to run their Public Space Broadcasting screens appearing in towns and cities across the UK. The Markham, Ont.-based company will also be handling the content management.

There are currently 20 LED screens up throughout the U.K., with 40 expected by 2012. The screens are mostly 100' diagonal LEDs supplied by Phillips and Daktronics.

Connected to the BBC's global broadcast network, the displays deliver a 24/7 schedule, simulcasting BBC 1, 2, 3 or 4 video programming with relays of major broadcast events, news, sport, music, and documentaries.
