This year, Wimbledon saw innovation, the rigours of an extra day and a goodbye to Sue Barker. Lead executive of Major Events at BBC Sport Ron Chakraborty reveals the challenges of 2022 for Televisual Bulldog’s Best in Show
Our team of experts, with unique know how and world-renowned expertise, have mastered the entire broadcast value chain - from image creation to distribution - leveraging a series of Remote Operations Centres (ROCs), a diverse range of studios and one of the largest fleets of mobile trucks in Europe. New media driven; EMG is developing remote production in the market to spur the movement towards an IP-led future.
The call to serve up more tennis to prime time schedules, execute a discreet and heartfelt send off for retiring Wimbledon and BBC stalwart Sue Barker, on top of marking the centenary of Centre Court, meant BBC Sport and partner Wimbledon Broadcast Services (WBS) had to be peak performers this year.
The joint move by the club and the BBC to change the playing schedule for more prime time tennis and no middle Sunday rest day, which meant it was a full 14 day tournament for the first time, dictated long days.
“We had a lot of matches going on into prime time, a lot of good stories. Cameron
Norrie’s great run, the amazing Stefanos Tsipsas v Nick Kyrgios match and all its talking points, the wheelchair competitors, the men’s doubles semi, all went late into the evening,” says Ron Chakraborty, lead executive, Major Events at BBC Sport. “It [coverage and play] still starts at 11 am and if you’re not leaving until midnight every night, it’s quite a challenge for the team but one we really enjoy.”
For Chakraborty - a BBC and Wimbledon veteran whose first job was to log Roger Federer’s boy’s singles title in 1998 for the broadcaster - Barker’s goodbye was special.
Part of that drive to champion innovation, Aerial Camera Systems (ACS), a member of the EMG family, is widely recognised as the world leader in the provision of specialist camera systems, as well as aerial filming, in the UK and around the world.
