Shared Storage & Archive is one of those areas that feels simple until it is not. Everything works fine until a file goes missing, or someone asks for a project from three years ago. At that point, storage stops being about capacity and quickly becomes a conversation about performance, access, cost, and long term planning. In this episode of Broadcast2Post, we break down how creative teams should approach shared media storage and archive strategy. The discussion includes a practical decision tree along with insights from Tom Coughlin, President of Coughlin Associates, whose annual storage report has tracked real world industry trends since 2009.

Newsrooms are under more pressure than ever. Teams are producing more hours of content across more platforms, from broadcast and streaming to social and mobile, all at the same time. And they are doing it with leaner production teams. That raises a real question for engineering and operations leaders: how do we increase production capability without increasing complexity? In this episode of Broadcast2Post, we take a closer look at the technology trends shaping how modern newsrooms are being built today. Hosted by Michael Kammes and Steve Dupaix from Key Code Media, this conversation features Jim Beahn, VP of Engineering and Operations at FOX’s WTTG and WDCA stations, along with Nik Kumar, VP of Broadcast Engineering at Key Code Media. Together, they walk through how broadcast organizations are evolving their systems, from IP infrastructure and automation to LED driven studios, metadata workflows, and cloud based production.

The shift from traditional SDI workflows to IP based production is one of the most significant architectural changes in modern broadcast. While IP promises flexibility and scalability, it requires a fundamentally different way of thinking about system design, timing, troubleshooting, and long term support. In this episode of the Broadcast2Post Podcast, host Michael Kammes speaks with Troy English, Chief Technology Officer at Ross Video, about what broadcast organizations are encountering as they transition from SDI toward modern IP infrastructure. Drawing from Ross’s internal evolution and customer experience, Troy outlines the technical and operational realities shaping today’s deployments.

The latest episode of the Broadcast2Post Podcast focuses on how modern creative teams can work together across locations without sacrificing speed, quality, or control. Creative teams are more scattered than ever. Editors operate from different cities, freelancers contribute from personal workstations, and reviewers span departments and time zones. Yet many production environments are still structured as if everyone works in the same building. That disconnect creates friction in collaboration, asset management, and review cycles.  In this episode, host Michael Kammes speaks with Danielle DiStefano, Chief Technology Officer at ITV America, and Matt Stamos of Key Code Media about what it takes to properly support multi site creative teams. This discussion focuses on how large scale television productions move massive amounts of footage from remote shoots into centralized post environments. And from the corporate perspective, how to coordinate with distributed creative and marketing teams using hybrid and cloud workflows to support multiple departments, freelancers, and product lines. If you’re a creative in a multi-site team, or your team supports content creation across more than one location, this episode is for you.

The latest episode of the Broadcast2Post Podcast focuses on a reality nearly every live production team is facing right now: fewer people, more responsibility, and higher expectations for professional results. Broadcast crews are shrinking, corporate and education teams are being asked to deliver broadcast-quality streams, and reliability matters more than ever when there’s no margin for error. In this episode, host Michael Kammes sits down with Chris Burgos, Solutions Engineer for Broadcasting at Elgato, to break down how modern teams are simplifying live production through smarter workflows, centralized control, presets, and automation- without making systems fragile or operator-dependent. The conversation digs into what actually works when one person is running the show, and how to design live production systems that stay calm, predictable, and repeatable under pressure.

The latest episode of the Broadcast2Post Podcast looks ahead at the technology, workflows, and business realities that will shape 2026 for broadcast, AV, and post production teams. Budgets are tighter. Expectations are higher. IP, cloud, and AI are no longer side projects. AV over IP is a first class citizen, IP based production has gone from experimental to essential, and intelligent audio and video are quietly creeping into every room and control surface. In this episode, host Michael Kammes sits down with three members of the Key Code Media engineering team: Walter Viegas, Steve Dupaix, and Mike Cavanagh. Across each segment, they share what actually changed in 2025, what has proven itself in real facilities, and what deserves a spot on your 2026 roadmap. This blog breaks those conversations into three practical playbooks so you can align your planning around what really matters next year.

The latest episode of the Broadcast2Post Podcast tackles one of the most misunderstood and mission-critical components of any ST 2110 or IP broadcast deployment: PTP timing. As studios, stadiums, universities, and live production environments move to IP, timing is no longer a mysterious box hidden in the rack room. It is now a live network service that impacts every camera, multiviewer, replay system, intercom, and audio device on your network. When PTP is not configured correctly, it shows up as “random glitches” that are anything but random. In the blog and video, the Key Code Media engineering team walk through how PTP actually operates inside a modern 2110 facility, why timing failures appear the way they do, and the essential design decisions that keep your plant rock-solid. The team then goes hands-on inside a real PTP monitoring environment to show exactly what healthy timing looks like, how to spot drift, and which alarms matter before you go to air.

Audio Video over IP (AVoIP) is no longer a trend. It’s the new standard. As audiovisual demands explode across education, enterprise, government, and entertainment sectors, traditional baseband systems like HDMI and HDBaseT are hitting their limits. AVoIP offers unmatched scalability, flexibility, and cost-efficiency, but the transition isn’t plug-and-play. It requires a rethinking of infrastructure, workflows, and team dynamics. This blog and podcast explores the strategic, technical, and operational elements of the AVoIP transformation, featuring insights from experts leading the shift and practical advice for winning your own IP transition.
