Daryl then moved to broadcast operations, where he was responsible for the On-Air Management of Talking Pictures TV ( the largest European broadcaster) BARB rated. When Daryl first joined the company they only had just over 1.5 million viewers, over the space of Daryl's time with the channel, Daryl worked within a small strategic team that co-operatively built the channel to 3 million viewers. The general duties included the day to day operations between scheduling to playout.

Daryl's current research delves into creative practice research methodologies within film and TV theory, focusing on the active engagement of practitioner-researchers in filmmaking within videographic criticism. This exploration aims to enrich our understanding of film theory by leveraging videographic criticism as a tool for creative cognition. Specifically, the research seeks to evaluate and delineate auteurism through personal practices.

Additionally, Daryl's career and interests extend to Broadcasting operations research and Media's role in knowledge transfer. The use of cinematography as creative practice research. Also examining the transition from traditional broadcasting platforms to online streaming services such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, YouTube, and Vimeo.
