Award-winning Solution Replaces Skype TX and Modernizes Remote Contribution Workflows
As the only private television broadcaster serving Italian-speaking Switzerland, TeleTicino has long been committed to delivering authoritative, locally focused journalism with the agility required of modern media. Reaching an average of 60,000–70,000 viewers daily, the broadcaster produces a wide range of content, from its flagship “Ticinonews” newscast to prime-time current affairs programs and live debates covering politics, sports, the economy and social issues. To support these demanding productions and ensure high-quality remote guest contributions, TeleTicino has deployed QuickLink StudioEdge™, a professional multi-platform remote contribution solution designed for broadcast environments.
According to Riccardo Bazzero, ICT Manager at TeleTicino SA & Radio3i SA and Systems Manager for Corriere del Ticino Group, the need for a reliable, broadcast-grade remote guest solution became increasingly urgent as production requirements evolved. “We needed a stable, professional solution that would allow us to reliably manage one or more remote guests during both our newscast and long-form productions,” says Bazzero. “The system had to be easy for guests to use while meeting our technical and editorial standards.”
Prior to adopting StudioEdge, TeleTicino relied on a combination of platforms, including Skype TX (later discontinued by Microsoft), as well as Zoom and Microsoft Teams. While functional, these tools were not purpose-built for broadcast workflows, prompting the team to search for a more robust alternative following Skype TX’s end-of-life announcement. “Our goal was to find a professional solution that could ensure high-quality, multi-guest connections and integrate seamlessly into our existing infrastructure,” Bazzero explains.
