Company Rebrands as Encompass Digital Media, Inc.
Broadcast Facilities, Inc. today announces its new name, Encompass Digital Media, Inc. Building off the company’s success, the rebranding to Encompass unites BFI’s Andrita Media Center in Los Angeles and Crawford Communications in Atlanta under one identity. These facilities are well-established and recognized for providing premier services to television networks, station groups, corporations and government entities. The new website, www.encompass-m.com, is being created and will be unveiled in the near future.
“Prior to merging, Broadcast Facilities, Inc. and Crawford Communications had each earned their places as leaders in this highly competitive industry by providing services backed by a wealth of industry knowledge and experience,” says CEO of Encompass Simon Bax. “Moving forward as Encompass Digital Media not only signifies the next exciting chapter for our company, but the new name captures the extensive range of services we now offer.”
Home to over 180 television networks, Encompass operates two of the largest broadcast facilities in the U.S. Each location is equipped with state-of-the-art technology and supported by an experienced team. Services include network origination; centralcasting; disaster recovery; satellite and fiber transmission (full time and occasional use); satellite uplink trucks; digital media encoding services and production studios.
“This unprecedented combination of talent and resources vastly expands our footprint in the marketplace and maximizes our ability to provide a broad range of services to our clients,” says COO and President of Encompass Bill Tillson. “We are acutely aware of the necessity of providing creative and cost-effective solutions to meet the changing needs of our clients.”
