One of the top teams behind the scenes of this World Cup: Team MEDIA BROADCAST
The match statistics of the top players at this World Cup are truly impressive. The number of kilometres travelled per match makes particularly remarkable reading. However, our own World Cup team can easily keep up with these achievements: all told, the 58 specialists in the MEDIA BROADCAST team have between them clocked up a little over a million flying miles. And let us not forget our three SNG teams, who bumped their way over 19,000 kilometres of uneven roads.

Mission Accomplished!
The final whistle blew on the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ just a few moments ago and as it did HBS staff members in South Africa began to shake hands and trade smiles. For the third time HBS successfully delivered all 64 matches of a FIFA World Cup™ to an enthusiastic worldwide audience, thereby once more fulfilling its original mandate. The company was created eleven years ago with the very specific task of producing the television and radio signals for the 2002 and 2006 FIFA World Cups™, a mission that was later extended to the 2010 and 2014 editions of the tournament.

Yellow Card for the Vuvuzelas!
The controversy surrounding the constant hornet-like swarming noise produced by vuvuzelas haunted this year’s Soccer World Cup since the very first games. Meanwhile, broadcasters had to resort to filtering the audio: “The ability to use the steep notch filters on a Lawo console’s EQ was extremely helpful in the creation of signals with reduced interference from the vuvuzelas,” explains Carsten Higler, technical director of ARD, the German public national radio and TV network.

EIGHT DOWN, TWO TO GO...
As the 2010 FIFA World CupTM draws to a close and stadiums host their final matches, it is a timely moment to look back on the operations carried out at the ten venues. “During the operational phase, the Broadcast Venue Managers (BVMs) are the first point of contact for FIFA and the LOC for broadcast-related matters,” explained Gary Shaw, Head of Venue Management. “They therefore need to be aware of everything HBS does in terms of production, unilateral services and everything ‘behind the scenes’, such as power, telecoms, information distribution etc...”

canal+ at the FIFA World Cup 2010
When TF1 agreed to sell some of its 2010 FIFA World Cup™ broadcast rights on to Canal+, the latter French MRL most likely had a mixed reaction. As the first ever pay-channel in France, Canal+ is well known for having built its success on a two-pronged reliance on films and football, so it would have been somewhat inconceivable for them not to offer the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ to their subscribers. But since this agreement only occurred in February of this year, it also left very little time to get organised.
