That's awesome! How many people it take total to run the operation?


In LA (Burbank, actually) we had one manager, two devs (me and a slightly more junior person), and two video editors who transcoded stuff almost on-the-fly and kept our online video library humming along. In New York (at 30 Rock) we had about four content and social media people, two designers, and a photographer.

This was about five years ago, so the set-up is a little more robust now. For example, they now have a CMS to manage web content, whereas we used to code and manage all our assets by hand. And back then they were too stingy to buy an extra server to automate a lot of the processes, so I actually had to stay late every week to literally "push the button" to make things go live in sync with the on-air broadcasts. All kinds of crazy stuff, on a shoestring budget.

But yeah, if you're talking about code stuff alone, we only had two actual coders/devs, me and another girl. Fun times!
