CBM wins the contest as broadcaster host of the Snowboard World Championship final

CBM, a subsidiary of Secuoya, will deploy around 40 professionals to Sierra Nevada (Granada) and will use 16 high-definition cameras, 2 Super Slow (slow motion), as well as a wireless camera system, also high-definition, and 25,000 meters of cable.

Central Broadcaster Media (CBM), group subsidiary Secuoya, has won the public contest called by CETURSA (public company that manages the Sierra Nevada ski resort) as host broadcaster (production and retransmission) of the Superfinal of the Snowboard and Freestyle World Cup, which will take place between March 18 and 27 in Sierra Nevada (Granada).

CBM entered the public tender in a joint venture formed together with Plural Entertainment (70% CBM and 30% Plural). Telefónica (TSA), Mediapro, VAV and ATM also attended. The CBM proposal obtained the highest score in the organizational and technical chapter; and surpassed some of its competitors by 80% in this chapter.

De esta manera, el grupo Secuoya, a través de Secuoya Servicios (CBM, B&S, B&S Engineering y Wikono), entra de lleno en la producción de grandes eventos, y en la retransmisión de eventos deportivos, marcando un alto nivel en cuanto a producción, organización y competitividad económica, como ya viene ocurriendo con los servicios que presta en otras áreas de la industria audiovisual.

CBM will deploy around 40 professionals to Sierra Nevada and will use 16 high-definition cameras, 2 Super Slow (slow motion), as well as a wireless camera system, also high-definition, and 25,000 meters of cable. A mobile and DSNG HD unit will be responsible for creating and retransmitting the signal around the world, in some cases with personalized editing for specific channels. Between pre-production and production, the CBM team will spend more than a month of intensive work to make the broadcast a success.

International interest

This competition, which unifies the snowboard and freestyle finals in Sierra Nevada for the first time, is presented as an unbeatable test for the FIS World Championships, recently awarded to Sierra Nevada for 2017. In Spain it will be offered by TVE and the signal will be seen, through Secuoya Servicios, in countries such as Japan, Russia, USA, South Korea, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, Sweden, France, China, Canada, Brazil or Austria, among others.

In the championship that CBM will broadcast, the world champions in the Snowboard (Halfpipe, Slopestyle, Cross) and Freestyle (Halfpipe, Parallel, Moguls, Slopestyle) disciplines will be decided.
