CJNT Montreal Goes All Ross for New Production Facilities

Thursday, July 25, 2013 [Iroquois, Ontario, Canada] – CJNT, a Rogers Media owned television station, has chosen Ross Video for their new production facilities in downtown Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

CJNT is building a tightly integrated and efficient production studio designed around the powerful combination of Ross’ XPression Character Generator, Vision Production Switcher, OverDrive Automated Production Control System, NK Router and BlackStorm Video Server.

“The Ross family of products have really developed into reliable and industry leading technologies,” said Keith Beaulieu, Director Special Events/Technical Design, Rogers Media. “We are very satisfied from an engineering perspective with Ross technology and with Ross as a company.”

CJNT’s new facility will produce a Daily Breakfast Television “BT” Morning Show and a weekly Sportsnet update show that covers significant events for the Montreal market.  CJNT plans to be on the air in late August 2013.

“We have Ross products in other broadcast facilities that Rogers Broadcasting owns and our operators approve of the functionality they provide on a daily basis,” said Frank Bruno, Vice President TV Engineering, Rogers Broadcasting Limited. “We are particularly proud that Ross is a Canadian company, creating Hi-Tech jobs for Canadians and their communities.”
