Live sports coverage
Sport captures the imagination
like almost nothing else when it
comes to TV. Some of the largest
global and domestic audiences
are created by large-scale
televised sporting events. There’s
also extensive innovation in this
genre, with exciting new
presentation tools available to
producers, commentators and
live presenters.
In 2013, AIB is looking for the
most outstanding live TV sports
coverage.
The winning entry is likely to
include ground-breaking pre-
event scene-setting sequences,
going behind the scenes, talking
with athletes and competitors as
they prepare for their events.
There will be world-class
graphics that offer viewers a
range of detailed contextual
information.
Great camera work, great
vision mixing, great commentary,
great titles - all of these will be
part of the mix that gains the
production a place in the 2013
shortlist.
This award will help
demonstrate best practice in
sports broadcasting, offering a
masterclass in production to
peers around the world.
Remember that this award
covers sports events that take
place between 1 June 2012 and
Eurosport took the 2012 AIB prize for
best live sports coverage for Roland
Garros 2012
