Schwab Network
BMG began its engagement with TD Ameritrade in 2017 to explore how visual communication could better connect with a global audience. That vision led to the creation of the first direct-to-consumer OTT financial news network by a corporation. BMG was responsible for:
- Designing and building the original Chicago production facility and a new NYSE studio
- Staffing and managing all 24/7 production operations
- Developing show formats, branding, and graphics packages
- Recruiting and training on-air talent
- Leading the 2023 relaunch as The Schwab Network after the Charles Schwab acquisition
Today, BMG continues to power the Schwab Network through our cloud-based Network Operations Center, delivering live support, disaster recovery, and broadcast-grade scalability.
