Three-year deal continues partnership that has run since the 1992/93 season
Gravity Media has signed a three-year extension to its matchnight services deal with UEFA.
The deal continues the pair’s relationship, which has been running since the first season of the Champions League in 1992/93.
Gravity Media will provide highlights programming, digital content, commentaries, and a live instant highlights show for all UEFA’s rights holding broadcasters for the major UEFA competitions - including the Champions League, Europa League, and Europa Conference League.
The inaugural Europa Conference League contributes to an increase in the production services provided, with Thursday nights seeing more than 120 editorial and technical staff, including 32 commentators delivering world feed commentary to broadcasters around the world, at Gravity Media’s production centre.
To deal with this, Gravity Media’s London Production Centre has been re-designed to include a new and extended multi-functional suite, which houses the VT operation and monitoring obligations on match nights, as well as additional commentary booths and galleries.
Nick Symes, director of technology for Gravity Media, said: “With the expansion of the Europa Conference League and the increased required for fast turnaround production facilities and workflows, our new operational areas needed to offer a flexible suite of tools to enable our production teams to deliver the complex set of requirements for delivery of a bolstered UEFA matchnight operation.
“The new facility occupies a newly refitted room and is equipped with flexible monitoring positions, dedicated talkback all integrated into high specification technical furniture.”
