By Paul Wallace 06/03/2024

PA TV Metadata is a one of the leading providers for metadata services, TV broadcast data aggregation, channel management for linear channels and VOD platforms. Its success for more than 30 years is down to its incredible team of dedicated, passionate and knowledgeable staff across our offices in Howden, Letchworth and London who we’re all extremely proud of.
