Omnilab appoints GM for Playroom

Omnilab Media has appointed Tom Kennedy as acting general manager for its broadcast facility The Playroom.

The appointment follows the departure of Andrew Hogg, who left the company last month to become CEO of the ABC/WIN playout facility MediaHub.

“We will continue to expand our clients and services base in the playout and digital distribution segment.  My previous role has been expanding this within The Playroom for the past two years as we built the new facility, including expansion into  digital signage, library and archive services and IPTV,” Kennedy told Encore.

“We recently launched, with our client Movie Network, Australia’s first subscription Video on Demand service Moviebox.tv which has rolled out on the Fetch TV platform.

“In terms of infrastructure,  we have invested heavily in the build of the new facility in state of the art digital broadcast and IP based systems, ensuring that The Playroom is well positioned for channel growth, both traditional and IPTV based,” said Kennedy.

Formerly the head of digital at The Playroom, Kennedy commenced this role on June 21.
