The San Fermín running of the bulls, more spectacular on RTVE: in HD and with a zip line camera in Estafeta

A team of 80 people and 25 cameras, one of which will travel along the popular Estafeta street at 60km/h, will capture every moment of the journey.

Lovers of excitement and spectacle will be able to experience the San Fermín running of the bulls this year on TVE as if they were stepping on the cobblestones of the route. The races will be broadcast for the first time in high definition and, as a great novelty, a camera located on a zip line on Estafeta Street will travel through this popular street at 60 kilometers per hour, offering a surprising and exciting image of the bulls. These are the main novelties of RTVE's San Fermín 2014 deployment, which will focus on the Pamplona festivities from July 6 to 14 on television, radio and web

Elena S. Sánchez and the great expert Javier Solano, commentator on the running of the bulls on TVE for more than two decades, will be in charge of bringing all the excitement of the races in 'Vive San Fermín 2014' every day, between 7:15 and 8:30 a.m.

For the TVE presenter "it is an illusion to return to San Fermín and for Spanish Television to think of me, it is the television of great events. We will try to transmit all the emotion, passion and adrenaline of the bulls." For his part, Javier Solano has stated that the success of the races lies in the fact that "it is something very fast, many things happen and the ghost of tragedy constantly flies over, which is why so many people are hooked."

There have been 32 years of Sanfermines on Spanish Television. For this occasion, the chain has prepared a deployment made up of almost 80 people and 25 cameras, which will capture every moment of the route in a 100% in-house production. As a great novelty, this year it will incorporate a camera located on a zip line in the best-known and most popular street in the Navarrese capital, Estafeta. With a speed that could reach 60 km/h, you will capture a surprising and exciting image of the bulls.

Furthermore, for the first time in history, the 2014 Sanfermines will be produced and broadcast in high definition (HD).

The program is directed by Carmen Delgado, who has defined herself as “a true privilege not only to have this team, but to bet on a winning horse and to be able to direct such a well-established program with such an audience.” Made by José María Sánchez Chiquito, 'Vive San Fermín 2014' will have the best team of reporters – Patricia Pereira, Ángela Alcover, José Carlos Fernández, Eva Hernández, Ana Valencia and Fernando Roncal – located at each of the strategic points of the route, in addition to the Navarra Hospital Complex, to broadcast the preview, the running of the bulls and the post. The program will also include a recap of the previous day's bullfight.

Javier Solano and Elena S. Sánchez will enter 'La Mañana de Verano' every day to comment on how each day's race has gone.

An average of 1,663,000 viewers followed the bulls in 2013, with a viewing share of 70.7%, the second highest record in its history.

The special programming will start on Sunday, July 6, at 11:00 a.m., with a special program with Elena S. Sánchez and Javier Solano to narrate the traditional Chupinazo from the Pamplona City Hall. Eva Hernández will be in the Plaza del Castillo to experience the party from within and José Carlos Fernández, from the Plaza del Ayuntamiento itself.

The Chupinazo and the running of the bulls will also have a place on TVE Internacional, which will broadcast them live on all its signals. In addition, and for the first time in history, an American television will offer the Pamplona bulls live from July 7 to 14. It will be Esquire Network, an entertainment channel division of NBCUniversal that reaches 75 million homes in the United States.

Eleven cameras

RTVE.es will broadcast the Chupinazo and all the running of the bulls live with multi-camera. In addition to the La 1 signal and the direct sound of RNE, the user will be able to choose after the race between eleven cameras located along the route, which will offer different perspectives.

In addition, for the first time, viewers will be able to capture fragments of the running of the bulls while they watch it and easily share them on social networks with the +TVE second screen application.

RTVE.es will also reward the best Sanfermin selfies among all the photos tagged on Twitter with the hashtag #sanselfie. The most outstanding will receive Kukuxumusu t-shirts. And the special RTVE.es/sanfermines will offer all the information about the festivities, with videos, reports, audios, photographs, posters...
