Prasar
Bharati to finalise CWG broadcaster in 15 days
With
Commonwealth Games just a year away, Prasar Bharati will finalise a
broadcaster within 15 days which will telecast the event for it on High
Definition (HD) mode.
Prasar Bharati, the host broadcaster for the 2010 Games, had called for
bids from international broadcasters to telecast the event earlier this
year.
From these, it had shortlisted five companies in July, that had the
experience of telecasting sporting events of such magnitude.
These were Swiss-based International Games Broadcast Services, Satellite
Information Service Live (UK), Nimbus Sports International Pvt Ltd
(Singapore), Nimbus Communications Ltd (Mumbai) in collaboration with
Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, and Big Productions of Anil Dhirubhai
Ambani group.
Doordarshan sources said that with the World Broadcasters Summit
scheduled to be held in Delhi on October 26, Prasar Bharati wants to
finalise one broadcaster from the shortlisted five within 15 days, which
would telecast the games in HD format for it.
