OKG confirmed game locations 6-days in advance. Upon confirmation of the assignment, BMG’s production management team initiated calls with each host university to finalize parking, power, cable runs, and internet connectivity.
OKG, one of the industry’s top sports packagers, contracted Broadcast Management Group to provide technical facilities and staffing for five college football games on ESPN+. All games were within the Big 12 Conference throughout Texas and Oklahoma.
BMG leveraged its proprietary centralized technology and decentralized staffing workflow to meet OKG’s production needs. Our team provided a 7-camera REMI mobile unit for each game, which fed audio and video paths to our Broadcast Operations Center in Las Vegas, where each game was switched, mixed, and transmitted.
