2014 Winter Olympics: SRG SSR produces world signal of all alpine ski races
SRG is responsible for the global feed of the alpine skiing events at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi: On behalf of the host broadcaster, Olympic Broadcasting Services (OBS), it produces the video and audio feed for all alpine races.
The Olympic production will be realized with SRG's own OB vans and cameras. Over 100 employees from the SRG business units SRF, RTS, RSI, the subsidiary Technology and Production Center Switzerland AG (TPC) and the Business Unit Sport (BUS) will be working on the production in Sochi.
Urs Leutert, Head of Business Unit Sport SRG: "We are extremely pleased to have been awarded the coveted production contract for the world's most highly regarded showcase of winter sports." SRG was already responsible for producing the world signal for all Alpine skiing disciplines at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. The television production was awarded the Silver Rings by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). With the gold, silver and bronze awards, the IOC recognizes the best television productions of the Olympic Games.
