Infront delivers extensive broadcast coverage to the CEV European Championships 2009
It is implemented by Infront Sports & Media, exclusively in charge of delivering the media rights to the Confédération Européenne de Volleyball’s (CEV) premier events. The Infront Group will deliver worldwide broadcast coverage through its Milan-based subsidiary Infront Italy.
Extensive Broadcast Coverage
Distribution of the media rights for both championships has been once again very successful. Altogether, Infront concluded agreements for almost 50 countries and territories worldwide and the events will be transmitted by close to 30 broadcasters. Most of these licensees will provide live or near-live transmissions, depending on the time zones and broadcaster schedules. In addition, there is a high level of news access interest. Live coverage will be available also on Internet through the online gaming entertainment platform bwin.com and LAOLA1.tv in Germany, Switzerland and Austria.
The host broadcasting for the 2009 CEV European Championships – overseen by Infront and being carried out by D Spor in Turkey and Telewizja Polsat in Poland – will provide a state-of-the-art multi and unilateral broadcast production. This includes filming and transmitting a high quality signal, as well as supporting broadcasters in their unilateral production, transmission and commentary facilities and services.
The events are predicted to deliver another success story in terms of reach and exposure around the world.
