Case Study: Graham Media Group achieves scalable live streaming and faster newsroom workflows with AWS Elemental

Graham Media Group Taps AWS Media Services to Build Powerful Media Solutions for Reporters and Elevate the Live Stream Experience

Graham Media Group, a subsidiary of Graham Holdings Company, needed a faster, more flexible way to help reporters create and deliver news content across its local stations as part of its VIDEO 2020 transformation. Working with AWS Elemental and AWS Media Services, it built tools like the Broadcast mobile app to capture and stream high-quality live video to websites and social platforms.

AWS Elemental helped power Graham Media Group’s Orlando “Fireworks at the Fountain” coverage, where WKMG streamed more than 100 hours of live content to ClickOrlando.com and its mobile and OTT apps. Using AWS Elemental MediaLive, MediaPackage, MediaTailor, and CloudFront, the team delivered reliable multi-camera streams, personalized ads, and live captions, enabling viewers to switch between feeds and producing the entire event in the cloud instead of with a traditional mobile truck.
