Noncommercial WGBH Boston today said it will transfer ownership of its Public Media Management (PMM) solution to Public Media Group in a move designed to benefit the nation’s public television broadcasters.
PMM is the content management system designed specifically for PBS stations, created by WGBH in partnership with Sony Electronics.
Public Media Group is a technology infrastructure company focused on advancing broadcasters’ opportunities to expand audiences and build new revenue streams with platforms that incorporate the IP-based ATSC 3.0 standard.
Stacey Decker, who pioneered the PMM service when he was chief technology officer at WGBH, is president of PMM at Public Media Group. ATSC 3.0 represents the next generation of broadcast television signals, with full Internet compatibility, mobile delivery, enhanced audio and video quality and interactivity.
