INPUT BROADENS HORIZONS

London sports production company Input Media has ventured into new territory by producing Davis Cup by BNP Paribas tennis highlights plus live indoor hockey for Sky Sports.

The company, which produces the UEFA Champions League highlights and magazine programmes, plus all the content for the Chelsea TV and Arsenal TV channels, has not previously covered tennis or hockey.

Live feeds from all eight tennis matches in the first round of the Davis Cup were downlinked at Input Media's production centre in West London, and edited into the 52-minutes.

The ITF highlights package comprises 8 x 52 minute programmes for Davis Cup by BNP Paribas, and 5 x 52 minute programmes for the womens' Fed Cup competitions, delivered the Monday after each round throughout this year until the finals in December.

The National Indoor Hockey Finals in Birmingham, UK, were covered by Input Media's event team, the first major live event covered by the company.
