There are about ten of them in total working on set with the common desire to embody things “again and always. A leitmotif for viàOccitanie since the start of the last school year. And it works very well if we judge the channel’s audiences always growing.

A specification of five cameras
But to get there, in front of our screen, we have to go back to the source. And the source is contained in a tiny space: a broadcast van located outside, a stone’s throw from the courts. To transmit the signal, TV Sports Events launched a call for tenders and, for the past two years, the company Léni Productions has been producing the images. “There are a dozen of us working on the product from morning to evening all week, explains director Emmanuel Bertaina, freelancer and great specialist in sporting events (football, enduro, archery, tennis, etc.). . We meet the specifications which require in particular the presence of at least five cameras (wide, tight, close to the net, portable…)” and under the eyes of an ATP Media manager who ensures the good distribution of images for the international. Because a soap opera like that of the ATP attracts millions of viewers each year and deserves the greatest attention.
The broadcast of the Grand Slams
No change this year in the broadcast of the Grand Slams (ATP and WTA). As for several seasons, beIN SPORTS will offer Wimbledon (until 2023). Eurosport will continue to broadcast the Australian Open, whose rights were renewed last September for ten years, as well as the US Open, for the last edition provided for in the contract signed in 2017.
Finally, France Télévisions and Amazon share the rights to the Roland Garros tournament until 2023. As a reminder, the public channels will broadcast the exchanges from 11 a.m., except for the matches at the Simonne-Mathieu court and the evening sessions, boxes which in 2021, on Amazon Prime, often hosted beautiful posters for ladies and gentlemen, including two quarter-finals.
