Episode 17: Ian MacSpadden
Barry's guest for this episode is Ian MacSpadden Chief Technology Officer at Arizona Public Media. Ian has leveraged his facility design experience for the University’s public media sector for the last ten years. At Arizona Public Media (AZPM), he leads the team that has designed their greenfield IP-based TV, radio, and streaming facility that broke ground in January 2024. The facility is designed to be a sharable model for public media with the implementation of VR studios, SMPTE 2110 video routing and impactful spaces for community engagement. At AZPBS he helped launch the first PBS station in ATSC 3.0 through a partnership with the PEARL Group’s Phoenix model market test. He then upgraded their studio & field production systems to 4K capability from lens to final edit, which helped convince the PBS NewsHour to partner and locate their West Coast Bureau in their studios.
