International sport live coverage is a critical element of any sports broadcasting business. This coverage is often filmed in HD, and requires a variety of tools to achieve the best results. For example, a fluid-head tripod is essential for achieving smooth camera movement.
Portals curate different libraries of on-demand sporting content, aligning with Lotz’s conceptualisation of portals as ‘non-linear’ services. They also accelerate a long-standing trajectory of globalisation in which media sports and the worlds they circulate through are being restructured around rights territories.
BBC
BBC iPlayer allows users to download live sporting events for offline viewing. This feature is ideal for sports fans who travel or have limited internet access. The service also allows users to “favorite” their favorite teams and see upcoming matches.
The BBC’s sports department is responsible for broadcasting a wide range of sporting events. It has a reputation for quality journalism and commentary. It has the rights to cover UEFA Euros and World Cup football, Wimbledon, Six Nations, cricket, golf, rugby league and motorsport.
It also broadcasts a number of traditional grass warm up events including the Queen’s Club and AEGON International from Eastbourne. It also covers the Formula One championship with live races and qualifying sessions available on the BBC Red Button. The radio station BBC Radio 5 Live and Sports Extra also broadcast the championship.
SportyTV
SportyTV is an African sports-dedicated television channel that broadcasts sporting events from around the world. The channel also provides analysis, debate and news. Its coverage includes association football matches and other major sports, such as golf, tennis, surfing and athletics. The channel is available in several sub-Saharan Africa countries, including Nigeria and Ghana.
The channel has secured free-to-air rights for the UEFA Euro 2024 tournament in sub-Saharan Africa. The deal with CAA Eleven, UEFA’s agency for national team competitions, will see the channel show the opening match, five group-stage games, two Round of 16 matches, one quarter-final and the final in Berlin next summer. The channel will also broadcast daily studio shows from Lagos and on-ground reporting from Germany. Former professional footballer Michael Essien will provide expert analysis for some of the matches.
Tencent Video
Tencent Video is one of the world’s largest online streaming services. It offers drama series, variety shows, short videos, films, animation, and sports events to a diverse user base in China. Its content includes popular movies, TV series, and documentaries.
Founded in 1998, Tencent is Asia’s most valuable company and operates social networking, e-commerce, group voice and video chat, mobile and multiplayer online games, music, payment systems, and cloud computing. The company’s OTT services are intervening in media sport coverage rights markets and changing how live sport is watched, shared, and consumed on televisions, computers, game consoles, tablets and smartphones.
Grass Valley outfitted Tencent’s outside broadcast truck with all of the IP and 4K-capable solutions it needs to succeed in creating enhanced live and sports programming. LDX 86N series cameras capture razor-sharp images with vivid colors and very low noise.
DAZN
DAZN is a specialist sports streaming service that’s currently available in US, Canada, Germany, Austria, Japan and Switzerland. Its big ambition is to expand into 200 countries around the world by 2022. It’s a great option for fans of boxing and MMA but it can be limited by the lack of sports variety and extra pay-per-view costs.
DAZN’s biggest draw is its commitment to combat sports backed by prominent fight promoters like Matchroom and Golden Boy. The platform also streams UEFA Women’s Champions League matches and German Bundesliga soccer. DAZN also offers niche sports like snooker and darts. Learn more about this when you visit 스포츠중계.
The DAZN app is easy to use. The home page displays whatever you are watching at the top, with horizontally scrolling lists of content below. The DAZN app also provides a schedule for upcoming events.
Amazon Prime Video
Whether you want to watch Thursday Night Football or the 2023 season of UEFA Champions League games, Amazon Prime Video can deliver. It is available on more than 1.5 billion OTT-enabled devices and also offers a huge list of Prime Video Channels you can add to your subscription.
According to a recent interview with The Information, Amazon chief executive Andy Jassy sees sport as a major acquisition tool for the platform. Discoverability has never been Prime Video’s strongest feature, however, with major events pushed to the home page and a dedicated sports tab not yet in place.
Bennett notes that Prime Video is working hard on both discovery and technical features, such as low latency playback (he said the service feels “fantastic about it for TNF”), enabling users to watch live events with minimal delay. It’s doing this across a range of third-party device distribution partners and with MVPDs.
