BBC

“Gary Hayes is undoubtedly one of the outstanding pioneers of interactive TV, having devised the first 24/7 service for Digital Terrestrial, and the first truly interactive programming for Broadband TV, both for the BBC. In addition to breadth of knowledge, he brings great editorial and technical insight to the table and was, in effect, the main communicator inside the BBC regarding videorelated new media, devising many training courses, lectures and seminars for TV producers and technical staff. Vitally, he was also tasked with explaining this confusing, rapidly developing new world to most senior management in the corporation, and undoubtedly shaped BBC strategy in this field – the fact that the BBC is a world leader in many areas of New

International Emmys

“He was in short “ahead of his time” and continues to be a thought leader in the multi-discipline areas of digital interactive media. I often look to Gary for his esteemed professional opinion based on his years of experience. I can always rely on him to be working on “the next big thing”. He is an active and contributing member of our international community. When the International Digital Emmy Awards were established five years ago, I not only asked Gary to be a judge but I consulted with him as we were building the categories to be awarded. He has also urged Australian companies working in the US to enter the Primetime Emmy Awards. It goes without saying that I consider Gary to be somewhat of a digital ambassador for Australia.”
