Rants & rAVes — Episode 1513: The Traditional Broadcast Rulebook Is Being Thrown Out
As part of our pre-InfoComm 2026 Rants & rAVes series, I spoke with Chris Crichlow, founder and managing director of CFLEX, about the rapid evolution of production, streaming and broadcast workflows.
During our conversation, Chris explained how traditional broadcast infrastructure is colliding with more agile, cloud-based and creator-driven production models, why production teams are being forced to rethink scalability and efficiency and how AI tools are beginning to reshape everything from network management to content workflows.
We also previewed Chris’ upcoming InfoComm 2026 sessions, including “Production Toolkit: Strategies for Success” on June 16 from 8:15–9:15 a.m. in W232, “Remote Production: Essential Tools and Techniques” on June 18 from 8:15–9:45 a.m. in W221 and “AI Tools for the Production Process” on June 18 from 10:45–11:45 a.m. in W231.
