Input-Roland Garros extend entente cordiale

London production company Input Media will produce the world feed and daily highlights for the French Open tennis championships for the next three years after extending an existing deal.

The deal was awarded after a competitive tender process. Input was first awarded the contract in 2008, and the extension covers 2010 to 2012.

Input will produce more than 150 hours of programming on site at Roland Garros for broadcasters around the world, and provide highlights and feature content for the event’s website and big screens.

“We are delighted to have been retained by the FFT,” said David Wood, Input Media Executive Chairman. “The French Open is one of the world’s greatest annual sporting events and it’s a privilege to be associated with it.”
