Story Highlights
As TNT Sports' rights portfolio has undergone a drastic makeover in recent years, so too have its production workflows behind the scenes. That is perhaps nowhere more apparent than in the tipoff of its college hoops season this week. TNT Sports' most expansive slate of regular season men's college basketball ever - 98 games in all - will be almost entirely Multi-Feed-Productions (MFP) with the majority of the crew located at its Techwood campus in Atlanta.
TNT Sports College Basketball Pregame on TNT, truTV and HBO Max, is hosted by Adam Lefkoe and produced at the Techwood Studios in Atlanta.
In addition to its new 50-game package of Big East Men's basketball, TNT Sports will also produce 15 Big 12 men's games, 30+ other men's college games, 15 Big East Women's games, 67 NCAA March Madness matchups (jointly with CBS Sports), 13 Big 12 football games, and pair of College Football Playoff games (sublicensed through ESPN). That's more than 500 hours of live college sports this year, which marks a 60% year-over-year increase for TNT Sports and Bleacher Report.
We are really excited about this era with TNT Sports, says Chris Brown, VP, Technology and Operations, Warner Bros. Discovery. College sports is one of the most exciting sports on television or streaming. Managing this [Big East college basketball] package is going to be like having the Playoffs for four months. We are going to have some bumps along the way, but with everyone's commitment to delivering and keeping with the TNT Sports [mentality] and keeping the fan first, it will be an exciting run.
Over the past two years, TNT Sports has refashioned its Techwood campus in Atlanta into a remote-production hub with a variety of control rooms for various levels of events. This year, the majority of both its MLB and NHL productions were handled as MFPs out of Techwood and this fall's college basketball shows will follow suit.
In addition to housing TNT Sports' Multi-Feed-Production facilities, the Techwood Campus in LA is home to TNT Sports College Basketball pre/halftime/postgame studio show.
I think that first and foremost, there is the mindset change here, Brown says of how TNT Sports prepared for the expanded college hoops schedule. Like Big 12 football or even the NHL, this is different. In each of these cases, we have to represent each brand uniquely, but at the same time, provide the same level of storytelling and coverage that TNT Sports is known for.
In the field, TNT Sports is utilizing a trio of mobile units specially outfitted for MFP workflows: NEP's Supershooter 63 and Supershooter 64 along with Live Media Group's MU 28. Thanks to the flexibility of the MFP model, TNT Sports is also able to use other trucks such as NEP M12, ST-28, NCP 2 and ND 7D. As part of an edict from the TNT Sports production team, the producer and director are on-site in the truck for all games along with the on-air talent. However, the rest of the production team - including TD, A1, graphics, and EVS operators - will remain at Techwood and work out of an MFP control room.
High volume, back to back games is what the MFP model was made for, says Brown. As many of these games do not have set days, this model was created for this. Using many different trucks, we are able to reuse our control rooms and crew depending on how the scheduling works. But it does create flexibility.
Each game this season will have a minimum of six cameras (at tleast one of which will be super-slo-mo with more depending on availability of camera positions) and three EVS replay servers. The production team will increase these equipment levels on a game-to-game basis depending on the matchup.
TNT Sports opening week continues this week with #13 Arizona taking on the visiting Utah Tech Trailblazers at 9 p.m. from the McKale Memorial Center in Tucson, AZ.
