Americas digital news roundup

Here are Grabyo’s favorite content production ideas from around the sports and broadcast industry over the past weeks.

It continues to be a difficult time for many organizations. However, several teams and leagues are adapting content plans to figure out the safest and most effective ways to stay updated with fans while also making strides to progress towards normalcy.

ESPN Broadcasting MLS Return

While the MLS season has returned without fans, ESPN has been experimenting with how to navigate its broadcasts. Unlike prior iterations, ESPN is switching gears and focusing on collecting an extensive amount of audio. With more than 30 microphones across three fields, wireless cameras, and remote-controlled transmitters, fans can hear interactions between players, teams, and officials on the field. Giving fans more access than they have ever had before and they are loving it.

59′ 👉 Sub into the game
68′ 👉 Score the opener

Largest Videoboard in Sports

Despite the fact that many aspects of sports have been delayed, the SoFi Stadium has finally completed the installation of a videoboard that extends beyond the size of the actual playing field. The videoboard exceeds the visual and audio capabilities like no other display ever has and will set a new precedent for in-stadium experiences.

D.C. United teams up with Grabyo to create remote live fan experiences

We’ve partnered with D.C. United to enhance the club’s live digital video strategy and deliver timely remote live fan experiences across social media during the absence of live soccer.

As live professional sports remain on hold in the United States and most people currently staying at home in isolation, Major League Soccer (MLS) clubs are facing a new challenge of connecting with fans remotely and creating new sports content for supporters to enjoy.

D.C. United is addressing this challenge by using our cloud video platform to produce and deliver new digital-first live broadcasts to Facebook, Periscope and Twitch. Our browser-based production tools enable the club’s digital team to work safely and remotely from home while collaborating in real-time

DC United Grabyo remote live fan experiences

One of the founding clubs of MLS, D.C. United is getting creative with the live content it creates. In December 2019, the club announced the signing of Mohamed “KingCJ0” Alioune Diop, who is streaming his FIFA 20 matches to D.C. United’s Twitch and Facebook pages from his own home. The world of eSports has rapidly increased in popularity with games publishers, sports federations and clubs hosting live, interactive eSports events that appeal to a cross-section of gaming and sports fans across the US.

D.C. United is also leveraging the popularity of their players by hosting live Q&As and ‘Ask Me Anything’ (AMA) shows with the players at home. The club has started a regular interview segment hosted by midfielder Julian Gressel, titled #GresselSpecial, as well as producing tailored content for its Spanish-speaking fans, including AMAs with midfielder Junior Moreno.

Our remote contribution features allow D.C. United’s hosts, players or staff to join a live broadcast using only a single browser link, from anywhere in the world. The guests only need is a connected device with a webcam and microphone. 

D.C. United uses Grabyo Producer, our advanced live production platform, to create, produce and deliver its remote live fan experiences to social, mobile and web platforms. 

Accessed through a web-browser, Producer allows digital teams to overlay graphics and run interactive elements such as polls on a broadcast. Production teams can collaborate to deliver a broadcast from anywhere in the world with an internet connection.

Grabyo helps Network 10 deliver unique The #LoveAustralia Project TV experience to Facebook Live

To create an engaging stay-at-home experience for Australians during COVID-19, we provided the tools for Network 10, in partnership with Tourism Australia, to deliver a special interactive live broadcast of its special television show, The Love Australia Project, to Facebook Live.

The #LoveAustralia Project, celebrating Australia’s culture and beautiful landmarks, was simultaneously broadcast live to Facebook using our leading cloud video platform.

In order to comply with advertising regulations, Network 10 needed to replace the show’s live TV ad breaks with bespoke content for its social broadcast. The network took this opportunity to encourage active participation from the audience and extend the content beyond standard programming.

interactive live broadcast

Network 10 used our integration with Never.no’s audience engagement platform to power and moderate live polls during the ads. By adding interactive elements, Network 10 was able to create a more communal viewing experience, sparking discussion, and driving longer watch times and higher engagement.

The entire interactive live broadcast was delivered by one main producer, using just a web browser on a laptop. The producer was able to work completely remotely, with every element of the broadcast managed using our cloud-native platform.

At a time when social isolation presents a challenge for broadcasters to create new content, Network 10 was able to add value for its sponsor partner Tourism Australia, creating a meaningful experience for Australian audiences.

Network 10 used Grabyo Producer, our advanced live streaming platform, and Never.no’s Bee-on audience engagement platform to produce the broadcast. Accessed through a web browser, our intuitive design required minimal training and set-up to use for Network 10.

EMEA digital news round up

Here are some of our favorite digital content production ideas from around the sports and broadcast industry over the past two weeks.

The past few weeks have seen a large majority of people make the full-time move to working from home – away from studios, meeting rooms and media suites. Working in the cloud has become a necessity and industries have been adapting differently.

In the UK, parliament is being run by Zoom meetings and the nation’s Saturday night Match of the Day football fix has transformed into a podcast. In other parts of the world, there are virtual concerts, training events and the opportunity to learn new skills, all being produced and broadcast through the cloud.

Making dinner with a star chef

Chef Massimo Bottura is building his online community by running cooking classes through his Instagram feed from his home in Italy. Taking advantage of people having more time on their hands and spending more time cooking at home, the chef has over 1 million followers on his Instagram account.

Working out with Watford

Daily concerts with Gary Barlow

Gary Barlow has created a YouTube channel for his #croonersessions. Every day Gary features a different guest from famous bands and artists to fans of his channel. Guests are joining from all over the world, London to LA, from gardens to garages, with the aim of providing thousands of fans with some light-hearted entertainment.

Stay and Play Cup

The FIFA 20 Stay and Play Cup will see 20 of Europe’s top football clubs playing against each other in a knockout FIFA 20 tournament. The five-day tournament will be live-streamed on the EA Sports FIFA Twitch channel. Staring some of the world’s best footballers, the tournament will support the Global Giving’s Coronavirus Relief Fund.
