A live newsroom re-rigged with 32 self-climbing hoists and a full LED grid — without losing a single broadcast day.
The broadcaster's flagship newsroom ran 18 hours a day. The old motorised grid was noisy, fixed, and out of certification — but there was no window to take the studio off air for a conventional rebuild.
They needed a silent, repositionable grid, installed around a live schedule, certified for loads over presenters.
Kanasa engineered a 32-point self-climbing grid with a KMC-32 control desk and a full LED lighting package. Installation ran in overnight phases: a block of hoists commissioned each night, tested before dawn, on air for the morning bulletin.
Show presets now recall the entire grid to the millimetre between programmes.
“We re-rigged a live newsroom over four nights and never lost a broadcast. That's the whole point of self-climbing.”
