Between 1994 and 2008, the Risc PC and [[Acorn A7000|A7000+]] were used in television for broadcast automation, programmed by the UK company OmniBus Systems: once considered "the world leader in television station automation" and at one point automating "every national news programme on terrestrial television in the United Kingdom".<ref name="guardian19990105_omnibus">{{ cite news | url=https://www.theguardian.com/business/1999/jan/05/11 | title=Radio ham makes the TV news | work=The Guardian | date=5 January 1999 | access-date=31 March 2022 | last1=Nightingale | first1=Julie }}</ref> The Risc PC, in the form of the OmniBus Workstation, and a customised version of the A7000+ built into a 19-inch rack mount unit, known as the OmniBus Interface Unit, were used to control/automate multiple television broadcast devices from other manufacturers in a way that was unusual at the time. In 2002, OmniBus products were "in constant use worldwide at nearly 100 broadcasters" including the BBC and ITN.<ref name="riscos_brochure">{{ cite book | url=http://www.riscos.com/the_archive/rol/brochure/a4.pdf | title=RISC OS Promotional Brochure | publisher=RISCOS Ltd | date=14 August 2002 | access-date=31 March 2022 }}</ref>{{rp|pages=2}}
