Future of TV: Rewiring the Backbone - Hybrid IP/Broadcast Delivery Architecture
The infrastructure layer — how broadcasters are fusing one-to-many broadcast with one-to-one IP streaming.
This opens the technical arc: mapping how broadcasters and streamers are re-engineering infrastructure to blend traditional one-to-many delivery (satellite, terrestrial, ATSC 3.0, DVB-I, 5G Broadcast) with one-to-one IP streaming. It covers multi-CDN orchestration, edge compute, and low-latency delivery protocols (LL-HLS, CMAF, CMCD) — the plumbing decisions that directly determine delivery cost and video quality, the two things the brief promises attendees will walk away understanding.
This is also the most topical session on the bill for a European, Amsterdam-based audience: Sky's 2026 acquisition of ITV's broadcast and streaming operations is a live, real-time case study in exactly this kind of hybrid infrastructure integration.
