This represents the second Toronto-based broadcast account for Front Porch, and is further evidence of the company’s expanding share of the North American market.
Corus Entertainment operates many of Canada’s leading specialty and pay television networks, and reaches nearly 30 million subscribers. Corus has deployed 40 Terabytes of content to be repurposed across several internal business units and for external customers.
After a disciplined review of competitive products and references, we felt that Front Porch was the best provider in the market for our needs, said John Heij, vice president Television Operations and Corporate Information Technology of Corus Entertainment. I have been very impressed by the professionalism and responsiveness of their team throughout the implementation phase of this important project.
Our selection by Corus is particularly important to us for a couple of key reasons, said Front Porch President Mike Knaisch. The win adds another important reference site for the Company in North America, and we’re especially pleased to add to our presence in Toronto. We are most gratified, however, by the appreciation expressed by another satisfied customer. It sends a strong message to all other broadcasters considering our products and services.
