The Director's Cut: Where Art Meets Technology Today's sports TV directors face more challenges then ever. They not only have to deal with a plethora of new camera angles, graphics enhancements and other story telling tools but also work to satisfy both HD and SD audiences. How are director's handling those challenges? What is their eventual vision for an all-HD audience? And what type of new tools would they like to see manufacturers develop? The session, which will be moderated by Tom Sahara, Turner Sports, Senior Director of Remote Operations and IT, will feature the following experts: Steve Beim, Freelance Director; Artie Kempner, NASCAR on Fox Lead Director John Moore, YES Network, Director; Michael Narracci, New England Sports Network Senior Coordinating Director Click here to review the entire conference program Harry Coyle to Be Honored at Hall of Fame
Anyone who has ever watched a World Series game is familiar with the work of Harry Coyle. A director who spent 42 years creating the on-air look of baseball games, he was the thread connecting the first 35 televised World Series, and his innovations changed productions throughout the sports world. In the 1950s, Coyle introduced a center-field camera that allowed viewers to follow the path of a pitch all the way into the catcher’s mitt. The angled camera, now standard in baseball coverage, was a radical departure from the above–home-plate, infield angle. Coyle will be one of 11 sports broadcasting legends who will be honored during the evening of December 11th at a ceremony at the New York Hilton. Click here for details.

Both national and regional networks continue to fill out their schedules with HD programming. But challenges still remain: a majority of non-event programming is still often standard definition and syndicated sports content has yet to make the move. A panel of leading production executives from national and regional sports networks discuss the continued migration to an all-HD environment. Here's who' speaking on this all-star panel, which will be moderated by Chuck Scoggins, PGA Tour Productions VP of Operations: Ken Aagaard, CBS Sports SVP Operations and Production Services; Rick Abbott, ESPN VP, Remote Operations; Chip Adams, NBC Olympics director of venue engineering; Bob Ayars, Comcast SportsNet, VP, Technical Operations; Ed Delaney, YES Network VP, Operations; Jerry Steinberg, Fox Sports SVP, Operations Ed Sabol, Founder, NFL Films To Be Honored Before Ed Sabol turned a bird’s-eye view of the NFL into an all-access backstage tour, his cinematic experience consisted of home movies. The immensely creative overcoat salesman envisioned a new way to tell stories and, as the founder of NFL Films, taught himself everything he needed to know to revolutionize the way Americans watch sports. Ed held nothing back with his first job, bidding $5,000 for the rights to film the 1962 NFL Championship game, doubling the previous year’s offer. Ninety-one Emmy Awards later, NFL Films has turned the tradition of football into mythology. Without Ed Sabol, there would be no frozen tundra, no Immaculate Reception, and none of the stories that make the NFL so much more than a game.
