Multi-screen applications have been a research topic for the last 10 years. Recent technical advances make authoring and broadcasting of interactive multi-platform experiences possi- ble. However, most of the efforts have been dedicated to the delivery and transmission technology (e.g., HbbTV2.0), but not to the production process. The hypothesis of this paper is that studio and outside broadcast production requires radical changes in the production workflow, in order to allow for an ef- ficient management of interactive multi-platform experiences. This paper explores such changes, investigating workflows and roles, and identifying key requirements for supporting these. The final objective is to create a new set of tools, which are extending current processes, that allow broadcasters to curate new types of experiences. We conducted a set of inter- views with broadcast producers and directors that allowed us to identify two major (sub-)workflows, one for pre-recorded and one for live experiences. We could then assign roles to the different stages of the workflows and derive a number of requirements for the next generation of production tools
