While we strive to bring quality webstreaming to curl- ing clubs across the country and beyond, it is really nice to stretch our limits each year with new features and concepts at an event of such stature,” said Calabrese, Chief Executive Offi cer of TESN. T e live coverage will be streamed to
www.usacurl.org, and will focus
on one sheet per draw with two look-in cameras to capture action on the adjacent sheets. T e coverage also will include live stats with athlete in- formation. In addition, teams will wear wireless mics for the audience to have the opportunity at times to listen in on team communications. “We are improving our broadcast this year to provide sharper graphics, better instant replay angles and in-game highlights to social media,” said Ander- son, President of TESN.
