NFL on the big screen with TV2 Sports and GigaContent
1. november 2010
American football is all about fast-paced action,
strong men and hot cheerleaders. In short: NFL is top-notch
American sports entertainment culture at its best. And the NFL
viewing expernience gets even more exciting when live coverage is
projected onto the big screen of the theatre Bremen in
Copenhagen.
A couple of hundred Danish NFL fans yesterday had the pleasure
of watching the San Francisco 49s run over the Denver Broncos 24-16
in a live transmission from Wembley Stadium in London. The event
was a part of main broadcaster TV2 Sport's coverage of the NFL
season with hosts Jimmy Bøjgaard and football expert Claus
"NFLming" Elming. The broadcast was delivered to the big projection
screen in Bremen over the GigaContent media network.
- It's becoming more and more popular to use GigaContent's
service to provide events such the one in Bremen with a direct
transmission of for example major football games onto a big screen.
It gives people a very different experience in sight, sound, and
not least socially. It's just a lot more fun to share an evening
with lots of friends and many other fans. We're really happy to be
part of this trend, says Jan de Blanck, VP Sales fro
GigaContent.
The theatre Bremen in Copenhagen is a well-established
point-of-event for GigaContent and is in addition to NFL
screenings also used for broadcaster TV2's popular comedy show Live
from Bremen and comedian Casper Christensen's talkshow "Aloha",
which airs on Fridays.
