Automated
Broadcast Consultants, Inc. was founded in 1985, by Rose and
Alden Shipley as a consultation firm to provide Broadcasters
with information about the coming digital age. Convergence
(the blending of digital, computer and analog electronics)
was (and is) a bewildering choice of formats, operating systems,
computers, and software.
We also
analyzed the growth of cable at the time, and found ourselves
functioning as a marketing and sales organization for several
cable companies. We ascertained that the weakness in the convergence
industry would be in furnishing enough software for all of
the distribution points that are now available. Hence we decided
that creating quality programming for clients would be a needed
adjunct to our main product, consultation.
In the
course of our evolving company, we found it necessary to create
video presentations necessary to show our areas of expertise.
This became ABCi Productions. We were asked to create video
for our clients, and the next thing we knew, we were a production
company.
Imagine
our surprise when the production business took off and soon
replaced consulting as the primary focus of our company. We
have produced over three hundred television commercials, Three
thirteen week series, and a host of sales, merchandising,
instruction, and franchise video on a variety of formats.
We have relocated our company from Miami Beach, Florida to
Louisville Kentucky. We feel that Louisville is an up and
coming market for the production business. |
