A Survey of What the Premier League Will Appear Like On NBC Sports: What We Could Expect From Creation

At the NBC Sports press conference in April to announce ideas for the Premier League coverage beginning on August 17, 2013, I had the opportunity to interview NBC Sports and NBC Sports Network Executive Producer Sam Flood about the visible look of the Premier League on US television, and what we can be prepared to see from a production perspective. aItall vary than MLS. Weall take advantage of the area, the positioning and the stadiums. And itall all be integrated and developed into an overall look, which weare along the way of accomplishing that now. Our art division does something special for everything we do. aWeare always seeking to wonderfully display and make people realize why this property is more than special.a I asked Flood in regards to the new facility in Stamford, Connecticut where Rebecca Lowe and colleagues Robbie Earle and Robbie Mustoe will undoubtedly be centered, and how thatall effect it viewing experience. aThe major business has as much as eight different alocationsa that individuals can have the expertise work from. The home desk includes a huge numerous screen wall which can be split up, therefore on [the final day of the season] we could have all five games shown behind on this variety. Thereas a lot of fun things we are able to do with it.a A topic that's a divisive one amongst football fans in the Usa is whether a ticker must be running across the base of the screen. Hereas what Flood had to state about this. aWhen the ball is in play, I donat let it. I donat let it in baseball. I donat let it in this activity. I donat think itas the proper action to take for the viewer.a Following through to the ticker debate, I asked Flood whether scores from other live matches would be shared throughout the discourse of other matches. aAt half-time, weall undoubtedly be updating every one with whatas going on. Weare unsure with whether weare going to drop down scores [during stay matches]. What we do with hockey, we drop down scores of other activities happening. I think we should, but we need to produce a decision of what'll be the fairest to the viewer.a On a related note, may NBC Sports feature on-screen graphics to enhance evaluation of matches much like ESPNas Axis replay system? Amazement have similar technology. It was used by weave for NFL and hockey. We think we have an enhanced system above that that weall oftimes be deploying it, but weare still going right on through the process.a
