“MHz Networks is not a technology company, we are a media company. We need to spend our resources telling our entertaining and compelling stories, not on developing a video delivery platform which is costly and time-consuming. VHX gives us the ability to do just that,” said Lance Schwulst, vice-president of content and digital strategy at MHz Networks.
