Pilgrim on the 405
Will Crist, The Pilgrim on the 405, had the chance to interview Fred Fourcher, Chairman of Orange County’s Bitcentral, a recognized innovator of news content production, distribution and aggregation solutions. For over 20 years, Bitcentral has demonstrated a unique ability to develop and deploy revolutionary technologies for leading content producers.
From building America’s first IP-based satellite distribution network to deploying the country’s most popular news production system in scores of newsrooms, Bitcentral has been trusted with engagements at major content-creation companies like CNN, CBS, NBC, Fox, Raycom Media, Belo, Media General and many more. Led by industry veteran and technology evangelist, Fred Fourcher, and an experienced management team with decades of experience in news and technology, Bitcentral continues to transform the way news content is produced, delivered and consumed.
Recognizing the opportunity to provide worldwide voice and data services by satellite and fiber, in 1992 Mr. Fourcher also founded DirectNet Telecommunications, an international common carrier. He served as DirectNet’s President from 1992 through 1994, during which time he implemented the Company’s global network strategy. DirectNet’s 1999 revenues were close to $90 million.
