BBC Star Michael Mosley Teams With Warner's Wall To Wall To Make First Show For Channel 4
In broad terms, the networks hope that the viewing experience will not be jarringly different to what went before. There will be a mixture of studio and pitch-side presentation, commentators and reporters will be allowed inside the grounds, fake fan noises will be made available to those who want them, and high-tech thrills will remain in place, such as BT Sport continuing to show games in 4K and HDR. Behind the scenes, however, there are big changes to the way football is being produced.
Instead, BT Sport, home to 20 matches, will use a remote operating center in High Wycombe for match coverage, while the studio presentation will be driven out of its headquarters in Salford, east London. Many people will be able to work from home. “What we’ve done is fast-tracked our remote production roadmap to come back in this way. And this is the way we will work moving forward,” Hindhaugh says.
BBC presenters Kelly Somers and Alex Scott will be at the Vitality Stadium for the Bournemouth match, with the main presentation being anchored from a Dock10 studio facility in Media City, Greater Manchester. Gary Lineker, the BBC’s highest-paid presenter, will have to apply his own makeup using written tutorials in preparation for going live, with social distancing rules dictating that he and other presenters can’t come into contact with a makeup artist.
According to reports, broadcasters lobbied the Premier League for increased access to teams as part of their plans. More radical ideas like rigging cameras in dressing rooms have been knocked back, but BT Sport COO Hindhaugh says broadcasters are working with the Premier League to capture audio from the pre-match coin toss, while there will also be more footage from inside the tunnel before kick-off.
