BT, Vista Satellite To Transmit Super Bowl Broadcast

BT Broadcast Services is teaming up with Vista Satellite to offer production and transmission services for the Super Bowl.

BT and Vista Satellite are also working with Jacksonville, Fla. based WJCT-TV, which is handling production requirements for the matchup of the Philadelphia Eagles and New England Patriots on Feb. 6 at the Alltel Stadium.

The stadium has been equipped with fiber and satellite transmission services that are available to broadcasters prior to the big game and will enable a global broadcast of the event.

Many more international NFL fans are expecting to see the Super Bowl delivered with the same broadcast quality as the domestic NFL audience enjoys, according to Bill McNamara, general manager of BT Broadcast Services, the Americas.
