• Beam contribution and reception modernizes CNBC UK’s infrastructure
• Low latency, resilient processing supports live news contribution between geographically distributed locations  
• Server-independent licensing and secure cloud connectivity provide CNBC UK with greater operational control

Denver, Colorado, 26^th August 2026 — MediaKind today announced that CNBC UK has selected Beam to modernize its contribution and distribution infrastructure, bringing greater flexibility, resilience and cloud-connected control to its live broadcast operations.

The project will refresh CNBC UK’s infrastructure, enabling its teams to reliably move live news feeds between geographically distributed bureaus, studios and downstream production and playout environments.

“For a global news organization, speed and reliability are critical. The new architecture is designed around three priorities: low latency, resiliency and channel density, while giving our operational teams greater visibility and control across distributed infrastructure,” said Neil Burt, Senior Director Technical Operations EMEA at CNBC UK.

Beam also introduces a more flexible software model, allowing processing licenses to operate independently of individual servers and enabling CNBC UK to select appropriately sized commercial-off-the-shelf infrastructure for each location.

Key benefits include:

• Low-latency contribution and distribution for time-sensitive live news
• Resilient, high-density media processing across geographically distributed locations
• Flexible software licensing without tying capacity to a specific server
• Secure cloud connectivity for centralized monitoring and management
• A modern foundation for evolving broadcast, contribution and streaming workflows

“Modern video infrastructure increasingly needs to combine the performance of professional media processing with the operational simplicity of cloud-connected software,” said Tony Berthaud, SVP sales, EMEA & APAC. “With Beam, CNBC UK can modernize a proven contribution and distribution environment while gaining the flexibility and control required for today’s distributed video operations.”

The deployment reflects a broader shift in how modern video services are being built: combining high-performance media processing at the edge with cloud-connected software that simplifies operations.
