WBU Satellite Group Changes Name To Reflect Technology

The World Broadcasting Unions’ International Satellite Operations Group agreed to change its name and mandate, said the WBU in a news release emailed Tuesday. It becomes the International Media Connectivity Group, "more reflective of the many transmission methods broadcasters and content providers are using," said WBU. In "a connected world," broadcasting "is on every platform, both for collection and distribution," said Michael McEwen, WBU secretariat head.
