Approved supplier status for BBC
May 17, 2006
Pushbutton, the interactive television development specialist has been approved as an official roster supplier to the British Broadcasting Corporation’s New Media division.
The approval marks the company’s coming of age as a serious player in the iTV development market. Now in its fourth successful year, and with a client list that includes ITV, Sky, and BT, Pushbutton has delivered dozens of high profile enhanced TV projects including Coronation Street and I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here for ITV.
The company’s iTV expertise runs much deeper than designing the viewer-facing front end of interactive television projects. James Cumberbatch, Head of Interactive Development for Pushbutton said “We have hand picked some of the very best iTV developers in the business, and we have used their expertise to develop full solutions for content management, chat, dating, gaming, and video webcam integration on television. If your project requires a full service, bespoke solution, across various platforms Pushbutton really is your best option.”
Pushbutton Managing Director, Paula Byrne, said “This is an important milestone for Pushbutton. Over the past two years, we have delivered 90% of all interactive television applications for ITV, the UK’s largest commercial broadcaster. Now, having won approved supplier status for the BBC, we have the opportunity to grow the business through delivering the same level of service and quality, for the world’s premier public service media organisation.”
