Epsom, Surrey, UK, 3 September 2025: Pebble, the leading automation, content management and integrated channel specialist, has implemented a new two channel playout system for France 3 Corse, the France Télévisions station on the island of Corsica. This is a proven platform for France Télévisions, already installed in Martinique and St Pierre and Miquelon, with a contract once again won in open tender.

France 3 Corse had a life-expired playout system in its headquarters in Ajaccio and went out to the market to find a modern, compact and efficient solution. Pebble was able to demonstrate the commercial and technical superiority of its playout in a box solution, which brings together in a single server the proven and popular Pebble Automation with the Pebble Integrated Channel playout engine.

The station transmits two channels, France 3 Corse and Via Stella. To provide complete resilience, the Pebble installation replicates the media database, automation and video servers over two physical devices. The playout and management software supports existing workflows while adding valuable new functionality.

Pebble demonstrated the complete functionality of the proposal, including the compact yet comprehensive redundancy, during the tender process. The company has local, French-speaking design and support teams, which provided further reassurance to France 3 Corse.

Manuel Brouard, Solutions Architect Manager at Pebble said “This is a great example of the way that local knowledge and market understanding helps reach a great solution. With French-speaking staff able to really dig deep into the requirements, we could give them a precisely tailored solution that delivers for France 3 Corse, now and in the future.

“That local knowledge and culture also meant that we could go from contract to on air, including workflow development and training, in just two months, a remarkable achievement,” Brouard said.
