Antenne Réunion chooses BCE’s broadcast software solutions to replace its channel management software

Created in 1991, Antenne Réunion is the leading broadcasting group of the Reunion island. The company runs a general-interest channel with a complete replay offer as well as two websites, “antennereunion.fr” and “linfo.re” a dedicated portal for news.

Antenne Réunion replaced its channel management software with BCE’s broadcast solutions suite. The implementation of BCE’s channel management software will optimise and secure the core business applications, increase productivity and reliability information between scheduling, advertising management, back office and broadcasting.

“The integration of BCE’s channel management tools is an important milestone in the evolution of Antenne Réunion. The entire value chain will be optimised from the tracking of purchases to the analysis of the audience and the catalogs management, the programs as well as its broadcasting. Beyond the obvious gains for our business these tools will improve office internal relations, get us closer to the information and foster corporate culture”. Nicolas DELACROIX, Directeur de l’Antenne, Antenne Réunion.
