Broadcast from Wembley Arena

For the 3rd straight year Wembley Arena hosted the MaxiNutrition Indoor Hockey finals back in February, for the showcase event of the indoor hockey season, and Televideo were delighted to provide the coverage on behalf of our partners England Hockey for a live 3-hour broadcast on Sky Sports 2.
Pete Graves fronted the Sky show with the help of his studio guests, England Goalkeeper Maddie Hinch and former England Indoor Coach Andy Halliday. �Fans from all over the country flocked to Wembley to support their clubs as Canterbury, East Grinstead, Reading, Holcombe, and Bowdon Hightown would battle it out for the title of indoor champions.
As with previous years, there was no challenge in filling 3 hours on Sky Sports with some fantastic action, and with a modified format of the game the goals came thick and fast.
With a10-camera specification including a Jimmy Jib, mini cams and a high behind angle there was no danger of missing any action. Televideo’s HD1 was the heartbeat of the operation, with a crew of 25 in at Wembley from the early hours, successfully rigging, broadcasting, and de-rigging this large scale event within the day.
A fantastic event made for a fantastic show and Televideo and England hockey continue to deliver with this developing partnership. A partnership that continued in April with a further 2 pre-recorded shows for Sky Sports, as the NOW: Pension’s Men’s Hockey League finals and the Investec Women’s Hockey League finals rolled into Reading Hockey club for some fantastic end of season drama.
The team look forward now to working on international hockey, as the brand new Lee Valley Hockey Club at Queen Elizabeth Park will open its doors to host the Investec London Cup from 9th to 13th July, where some of the world’s best teams will be on display, the coverage again will be exclusively on Sky Sports.� �
