PLAZAMEDIA DELIVERS CONFEDERATIONS CUP

Plazamedia, an EM.TV Group subsidiary and Germany's largest sports TV producer, will produce all the matches in the FIFA Confederations Cup for subscription channel Premiere.

"The Confederations Cup will give German fans an early taste of 2006, and for us at Plazamedia it will serve as the technical dress rehearsal for the 2006 FIFA World Championship," said Florian Nowosad, Plazamedia CEO.

The sports TV producer will broadcast all 16 matches live.

Forty-five employees and up to six additional live cameras will be on site at every match, transmitting images, interviews and commentary from the edge of the pitch or from the glass studio.
