Broadcast Technology Theatre
A must-see masterclass from the team behind the BBC’s 'Watch Your Count Live' project, which broke live broadcast records during the 2024 General Election, enabling online viewers to witness their votes being tallied and democracy in action across 369 locations throughout the UK. This initiative was both an editorial and technological breakthrough, transforming the viewing experience by bringing the vote-counting process closer to the audience and setting a new benchmark in election coverage. This feat was recognized at the Broadcast Tech Innovation Awards 2024, where the project won in the Best Innovative Use of Cloud category.
