Arqiva to deliver first major sport coverage to forces abroad
The British Forces Broadcast Service (BFBS) is to use Arqiva’s Satellite Media Solutions division and Scanners OB unit to broadcast the Combined Forces rugby team’s clash with the Barbarians in Newbury in November.
Arqiva is to deliver occasional video services (SNG) with six cameras and effects facilities, plus satellite space segment and uplink services from its Chalfont site.
“Live coverage of this important rugby match is a first for BFBS and warrants the highest quality professional broadcast service for our troops around the world,” says BFBS sports’ producer Jon Knighton. “Arqiva’s flexible services are a critical part of delivering coverage of the game with a professional look and feel.”
Arqiva’s head of occasional video Andy Tweedley added: “This multi-site operation demonstrates Arqiva’s adaptability to every broadcast demand.
“For BFBS, our combination of production and transmission facilities is ideal for its special one-off rugby event.”
Arqiva already provides studio, playout, transmission and satellite distribution services for BFBS' six TV and twenty radio channels to its fixed bases including the Falklands, Iraq, Bosnia and Royal Navy vessels globally.
