Numerous articles were written about this system in various broadcasting and information technology publications.

The Tribune Control System took 3 years to develop and was written in C and Java with a deep knowledge of proprietary interface protocols from a variety of vendors.

This system is able to manage a variety of TV studio equipment including:
