Leveraging Viz Flowics for Real-Time Election Coverage – GB News  

When the UK election was unexpectedly announced for 4 July, GB News had to rapidly adapt to produce its very first general elections coverage in 6 weeks, with very little elections production infrastructure in place. This challenge was met head-on through a strategic partnership with As If Pictures and the powerful graphics creation and playout capabilities of Viz Flowics. 

As if Pictures created the graphics templates to seamlessly integrate real-time elections data from its Votify platform into the Viz Flowics graphics. This collaboration enabled the creation of dynamic and accurate graphics, ensuring that election data was presented in an engaging and timely manner. 

Viz Flowics’ HTML5-based graphics proved to be an ideal solution, allowing for quick development and deployment. The result was a robust and flexible system that handled the complexities of live election coverage with ease.  Additionally, GB News built a touchscreen using the Viz Flowics Graphics Events functionality, to complement its graphics and ticker displays.  

This innovative approach not only met the immediate demands of the channel’s UK election needs but also set a new standard for how real-time data and advanced graphics can be effectively and in record time combined to enhance election coverage. 


Viz Flowics’ and As if Pictures delivered for GB News innovative and flexible data-driven election graphics solution rapidly and successfully, critical for the success of our coverage, says Stephen Willmott, Head of Operations and Technology

With the challenge of creating a whole host of elections-based graphics in three weeks, alongside a need to implement a cost-effective and efficient graphics solution, Taegu Broadcasting Corporation (TBC) utilized Viz Flowics HTML5 graphics to create a comprehensive election graphics library to spearhead the South Korea General Elections coverage.

Previously, we relied on a graphics company for our election graphics packages. However, with Viz Flowics, our team has full control. We were able to create graphics without any coding or advanced design experience, and everything was done in-house, within our very tight timeframe. And we saved USD 30,000 by designing all our elections graphics in-house, shares Hangsuk Kim, Technical Director at TBC
