Explore how we combine AI-assisted newsroom and radio workflows with IT and business consulting expertise to help broadcasters streamline production and modernize operations.
CGI OpenMedia Evolve and CGI dira will be at IBC2026 from September 11–14, demonstrating how broadcasters can streamline production workflows across television, digital and radio. We’ll also show how they can strengthen collaboration and support more connected and efficient media operations.
Visitors will discover the latest developments in broadcast technology, including story-centric newsroom workflows and modern radio production. They’ll also learn how our consulting and technology services can help broadcasters modernize operations while maintaining business continuity.
OpenMedia Evolve: AI-assisted story-centric newsroom workflows
We’ll showcase the latest developments in OpenMedia Evolve, our story-centric newsroom platform designed to provide a single source of truth for news organizations managing content across broadcast, digital and social channels.
By bringing planning, content and publishing together in a unified environment, our platform enables journalists to manage the entire lifecycle of a story in one place rather than across multiple disconnected systems.
New capabilities focus on collaborative workflows, task management and multi-platform publishing, helping news teams create content once and publish it quickly across multiple destinations. AI-assisted functionality also supports tagging, summarization, translation and workflow automation while maintaining editorial oversight and control.
Developed in close collaboration with broadcasters, the platform is being introduced in phases as customers begin adopting it alongside existing OpenMedia environments.
“Newsrooms are producing more content than ever across multiple platforms, making connected workflows more important than ever. OpenMedia Evolve is designed around the story, giving editorial teams a single environment for planning, creating and publishing content. We are looking forward to demonstrating the latest developments at IBC2026,” said Alan Dickie, CGI Director of Consulting Services.

dira: Simplifying radio production
dira is designed to simplify everyday radio production by reducing repetitive tasks, supporting existing workflows and giving editorial and production teams more time to focus on creating content.
Highlights at the show will include cloud playout, smarter automation and AI-assisted workflows that help streamline day-to-day operations, enabling journalists and production teams to work more efficiently while maintaining full editorial control.
dira is also evolving its integration with planning systems to support end-to-end radio production workflows alongside OpenMedia’s newsroom capabilities. We’ll showcase new voice and text-to-speech features for creating, adapting and repurposing audio content across platforms.
“Radio production teams need technology that supports the way they already work rather than adding unnecessary complexity. The latest developments in CGI dira focus on smarter automation, flexible integration and AI-assisted workflows while keeping people firmly in control,” said Michael Thielen, CGI Vice-President, Consulting Services, Media Solutions.
